Teeny little train perfect for miniatures!
Of course I forgot to get a pic, but I set this up to surround the "kitchy" Xmas centerpiece on the kitchen table. It is perfect for those Xmas villages, and maybe 1:44 scale miniatures. It was super cute and ran on the tracks just fine. It has to be on a solid FLAT surface. It's tiny, so getting each car connected to the other and with the wheels on the track just so.... can take a bit of patience and a steady hand, and when you turn it on, it takes off, which can make it all jump the track... patience!! Had to Figur our best way to do all that, but no big deal. I'm going to do a little crafting and make it more "Christmasy" for next year.

Must buy micro train set!
What an awesome little train set! I received the Peanuts Christmas’s tree as a gift and naturally every Christmas tree needs a train set. Unfortunately micro train sets are ridiculously expensive. Then I found this train set that comes in a tin can for a fraction of the cost. I was hesitant at first but am I so glad I bought it! It’s perfect for the tree! As if it were built with this tree in mind. I didn't need all the straight pieces so those now sit in the sweet little tin can. Is it the highest of quality? No. Does it work as advertised and truly bring a smile to your face the first time it goes around? Absolutely! Westminster Train in a Tin Can is a must buy if you’re looking for an inexpensive micro motorized train set. It does feel fragile so be easy with it and I can see it lasting a good while. If anything changes or breaks fairly quickly I’ll update the post.

You get what you pay for
Very cute, but cheaply made, and it is hard to turn it on and place it on the track without it falling off, not to mention attaching the other cars.. Track is hard to keep attached together. Love the size, wish it was just made a little better. Thumbs up on shipping, came very quickly.

Small, cute and Fast
There's only a few things that need a little bit changed. The speed to be able to adjust, otherwise the engine has difficulty pulling the cars without jumping the track. Also, possibly an easier way to turn engine off. The small lightweight metal tab is located directly at the bottom right. The tab looks like it may break off after sliding it front & back after a while of use. The car's hook up looks a bit loose too. All in all, it's a cute little train, especially with it's little red caboose 😊 It's difficult to find small trains with a red ol' school caboose. Here's more of the "little engine that finally could " Yaaaaaaay! Had to let battery run a bit to slow engine down and not jump the track, then attached the cars very carefully

Fun and easy train for kids to play with at grandparents house
I bought this as a fun collectible for my husband, who is a train enthusiast. I also collect tins that have interesting things inside. In this instance, our grandson's loved the train inside so much, we bought two more as gifts for them. It was easy for our 5 and 11 year old to put together and play with, plus put away. They do need one double A battery that is not included.

Patience not included!
After reading some reviews I decided to take the risk. I try to always write positive reviews but if I can save a parent or grand parent some frustration it will be worth it. This train is not worth 19.00 dollars. I can see it causing much frustration on Christmas morning if ordered for a gift. First the track had to be taped together on the back to stay together. The AA battery was almost too big for the spot it set in the train making it difficult to snap the train back together. Train would not stay on the track. The on switch is difficult to turn on while sitting on the track and impossible to get on the track once the wheels are turning. It will not pull all of the cars because of power issues. Fortunately I ordered it mostly for looks in a village I’m building but I’m very disappointed that it did not work. This is not a good product for a child and frustrating for an adult to work.

Can't beat the value. Finicky, but workable.
It's cheaply made, but a little finesse goes a long way. You have to remove the screw closer to the side to remove the cab to insert the battery, and you should be very careful in doing so, but it's a great little train and track for the money. A few wheels fell off before I fully got it out of the box, but those were able to be pressed back on by hand.

I wouldn’t buy it again
I got this for my son it’s honestly a big headache the train doesn’t wanna stay on the tracks takes a bunch of time to get it on the tracks then it slips off it’s a nice idea but cheaply made I wouldn’t recommend honestly
