The remote control train set centres on a rechargeable electric steam train toy, combining remote operation with retro styling. The alloy train can be charged again between uses, giving adults a railway display that can be operated and enjoyed in motion rather than simply arranged as a static scene.

Once the train is running, lights, sound and a steam effect accompany its movement around the track. Together, they add illumination, an audible element and simulated steam to each circuit, so operating the set by remote control involves more than directing the train along its route.

The figure-of-eight track gives the train and carriages a complete looping route and a clearly defined layout. Intended for a place beneath a Christmas tree, the set can become a seasonal operating display for an adult railway enthusiast, with the remote control bringing movement to the arrangement whenever it is time to run the train.
