## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there cars and accessories that can be added to this train?**
A: No additional cars can be purchased via Lionel. I’ve purchased the Harry Potter set which interchanges with Ready To Play sets like Pennsylvania RR & Disney Frozen but they have no interest in making individual cars or locomotives. What’s good though is that getting a second set adds that much more track. Get a track switch set and you can expand your oval to run in an inner loop design too. Drawback? Doing so takes a ton of real estate, can be too large in many homes.

**Q: Can you turn the sounds off?**
A: Disassemble the train upside down to access the speaker box. It'll all go back together again, don't worry. The speaker is housed inside the black round piece at the front of the locomotive. Remove the black round cap piece and discard. Flip the speaker so the holes face up and cover the whole thing with electrical tape. I also shoved some cotton balls the hole. Put the train back together, tape the holes on the underside behind the spring. It doesn't completely solve it but it's way better. Other option is to cut the cord to the speaker like another commenter replied but my version keeps the sound, only quieter.

**Q: What is the difference between the ready to play set and ready and straight track pack**
A: The ready to play set has enough track for a full circle or oval.  The ready and straight track pack are straight tracks to add to the play set to make a bigger area for the train to travel!  I got both so my grandsons could make a bigger track.  It’s a really nice train set!

**Q: would this train set fit into a christmas village setup or is it too big?  if the train is bigger than the homes it may not look right.  If too large,**
A: We used the Polar Express as the perimeter of a Christmas amusement park that included the LEGO Christmas train and an Eiffel Tower 3-D Puzzle. We added a K-Nex ferris wheel, a Cinderella castle 3-D puzzle, and the LEGO Christmas train station. One of the kids added LEGO Elsa frozen castle. Since this was the COVID Christmas and we weren't having the whole family over, we could spread out on the living room floor.

*by ナ***ギ on 22 November 2021*

まず、綺麗な梱包で安心しました。返品した商品が、箱はボロボロ、中身はメチャクチャな状態で入っており、おまけの品もなく、疑心暗鬼になりました。新しく購入し直したこちらでは、全く問題ありませんでした！！カーブレールの入れ方に始め戸惑いましたが、表裏で入れていくとスッキリ収まるのがわかりました。レールに乗せる時に少々手間取りますが、このお値段で小さい子が触っても丈夫なリアルな大きな汽車です。大満足です！！
