All Aboard! Fun and Easy to Play With
The Timber Railway is painted in vibrant colors and has a cute, cartoonish look that kids will undoubtedly enjoy. The included train (named “Steamer”) comes with three cars: a steam engine, a log cart, and a caboose. When the train’s wheels move, its smokestack moves up and down. The train also comes with a conductor action figure. Both Steamer and the conductor also appear in the included feature DVD, which gives kids a story to work within and deepens their imaginative options.
The railroad adventure begins at the Easy Rail Station by placing the train on the orange portion of the railway where it automatically aligns to the track. In general, the auto-aligning mechanism does well keeping the train on the tracks, but the train will occasionally derail when going down some of the steeper slopes. Kids can pilot the train by using an intuitive remote control, or can opt to move it around by hand. As the train traverses the track, it will make its way up a mountain, circle around loops and drive through a tunnel. There’s also a working crane, where kids can load lumber and other cargo onto the cars.
Build a Railroading Network
The Timbertown Railway features interlocking track pieces that snap together easily. Although it has been built for easy assembly, the track will most likely require some adult assistance during setup. With the help of the included instructions, setup should take approximately 15 minutes. In all, the set requires six “AAA” batteries (not included) — three for the steam engine and three for the remote control.
The Timber Railway has been designed with smaller children in mind, and older kids will quickly get bored with the railway’s compact size and limited activities. However, it is an ideal starter railroad set for younger children, and will provide hours of imaginative play. The set is also compatible with the rest of the GeoTrax set — buy them all to assemble the ultimate railroad play set.
What’s in the Box
Easy Rail Station, elevated mountain with tunnel and working crane, remote control, steam engine, log cart, caboose, conductor action figure, lumber cargo, 15 pieces of track, and instructions.

Our grandson loves this train and uses it constantly. The Geo Trax dvds are his favorite! He watches them over and over. He can’t get enough of this toy and dvds. The only thing that frustrates him is that it tends to go off of the track quite easily. But he just picks up the cars and starts over again. He is only 2, but he knows the names
given to all the cars. He even puts a Kleenex over some of the cars to simulate the “Ghost Train” in the dvd.

2 year old loves it! I don’t like how fast the train goes through batteries. I am looking forward to adding to our first Geo Trax.

DURABLE FUN! If I had to describe this item in two words, it would be those. We have 4 children, but our two youngest are 2 and 3. I think, finally, someone has thought up of something that doesn’t have “hundreds” of little pieces, small children of all ages can play with it and actually love it. I am a busy mom of 4 who stays home now to care for my mom full time as well. This toy is so quick to put together, I take it apart at night and put it back together in the morning and it takes maybe 5 mins. out of my busy day. My 3 yr. makes different track designs thoughout the days and my 2 yr. feels like he’s actually the one making the train go on, so he feels rewarded. You can see his little gears working when he watches how it’s put together. With that alone, it’s educational
I don’t understand some people giving this item a “poor design” or “not durable” ratings. Our train set has been sat on, stepped on (remember I have 4 kids), pushed over. This track stays together well an does not fall apart easily. You actually have to “unsnap” the pieces.
I give this item a perfect 10! It’s the only reason I’ve gotten other GeoTrax stuff… so I can add to it.
Awesome guys! Bravo!!

This is a great toy. My two year old loves it. He is able to work the remote, and likes to pull the train around the track. It isn’t cheap, but considering its durability, its fairly priced.
Pros: extremely durable. exapandable/compatible with other geotrax, configurable, the hill and tunnel are cool. Simple enough for a two year old.
Cons: the track pieces are too hard for a two year old to snap together, its a little loud (with no volume). If it came with a couple other figures that would be cool considering there is a “station”. Two more figures and a $50 price tag and this would be a five star review.
Battery-life is good but not great.
We have no problem with derailing. It will only derail if the hill is immediately followed by a curve (simple physics, it get going pretty fast down the hill), just put a straightaway first after the hill and it will never derail.
All in all: do not hesitate to buy, it really is a pretty cool toy, though it isn’t perfect.
