This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend... he's barely stopped playing with it since. The moving eyes are such a unique touch and it looks true to the models on the TV series.My grandson is really into trains. Bachman makes a good quality train. We have never had a problem with any of their products.Henry runs very well and being larger than Thomas can carry a heavier load. Our grandchildren love both. I run them on a double track with sidings while Facetiming with them due to Covid-19. Eventually they will be able to admire them in person.It looks splendid and runs well. Not perfect, but no model is. I am very happy to have this. (Thankfully this model is based off Henry's redesign, so I didn't have to spend extra money on special Welsh coal.)the tender in the back slipped of the turns at higher speeds, but thats not something that 12 nickels on each side of the inside of the tender wont fix, adding twice as much wait to it.Nice bright colors and looks exactly like he does in the TV series. the front guiding wheels slip off 2 out of 10 times on turns, but it still is a great engine.He is able to pull at least 6 cars behind him, including the tender with nickels, and i have never had a problem with the different style of hitch on the front and back linking to the standard side hitch. All around great engine, and it was my first Bachmann Thomas and Friends engine purchase, and i will definitely look for more in the future!Exactly what I was looking for. Ran into some problems with powering the train, but that could also just be a problem with my track. Impossible to tell until I get new track. Other than that, perfect.greatMy favourite addition to the chns train setWell made not made in chinaNice !!
