• 1 Wireless infrared remote controller
• Working headlights
• Realistic sound effects

• Manual control buttons on engine top

Why Mums & Grandmas Love This Train

Finally, A Remote Control Toy They Can Actually Use

We've all experienced the disappointment of "age 3+" RC toys that are actually impossible for three-year-olds to operate. This BRIO controller is different. The simple push-forward, pull-back design is intuitive—even toddlers who've never used a remote before quickly understand how it works. Push the stick forward for slow speed, lock it forward for faster speed, pull back for reverse. That's it! The light and sound buttons are bright yellow and perfectly sized for small fingers.

Two Ways to Control = Less Frustration

Here's the clever part: if your child loses interest in the remote (or if batteries run out), they can control the train manually using three buttons on top of the engine. This dual-control feature means play continues regardless, reducing those tears when the remote gets misplaced under the sofa. As a busy mum or grandmother, you'll appreciate this thoughtful backup option.

Works With Tracks You Already Own

If you already have BRIO tracks at home, this engine integrates seamlessly. The magnetic coupling connects to all BRIO wagons and carriages, letting your child build the railway they imagine. New to BRIO? This engine works beautifully on its own or paired with any BRIO starter set. The compatibility means you're not locked into buying specific products—your investment grows naturally with your child's interests.

Features That Make Play Time Special

Working Lights & Realistic Sounds

Press the yellow buttons and watch the headlights shine while authentic train sounds fill the room. These sensory elements captivate children and make railway play feel more real. The sounds aren't annoying (we promise!)—they're realistic enough to engage without driving you crazy. And yes, there's a volume that's actually appropriate for indoor play.

Two Forward Speeds

The clever two-speed system lets children control the pace. Push the controller forward gently for slow, careful driving—perfect when they're learning or navigating tight track layouts. Lock it forward for faster speed when they're racing around simple loops. This adaptability means the toy grows with their developing coordination skills.

Simple Reverse Function

Pull the controller back and the train reverses smoothly. This teaches directional control and helps children navigate their layouts without lifting the train off the tracks. They'll spend ages perfecting their forward-backward sequences, developing spatial awareness without even realizing they're learning.
