The Woopie RC retro train has a headlight, sounds and a driver's-panel remote – your child becomes a real train driver.

This remote control train brings your child into the exciting world of railways! The set has 4 pieces: a steam locomotive, two freight wagons and a remote designed as a driver's control panel. The locomotive has a glowing headlight and sound effects, and looks like a real retro steam train. It can also be driven without the remote – 3 buttons on the locomotive: hold the middle one to switch on, and the other two set the direction. One wagon carries imitation coal or wood, the other excavated cargo. Made of durable, safe plastic. Needs 4 AAA batteries – 2 for the remote, 2 for the locomotive (not included). From 3 years.

What your child develops

• Manual skills. Driving with the remote.
• Hand-eye coordination. Following the train.
• Cause and effect. Button means movement.
• Imagination. Train driver role play.

How to play

Build a station from books on the floor – the driver must stop right beside it using the remote.

One child drives with the remote, a younger sibling with the buttons on the locomotive.
