Marklin 29200 - Starter Set "Ice" with battery drive My 5 year old grandson loved this gift. The ICE with battery operation is ideal for as little boys, there is no connection to an electrical outlet is necessary and yet a real railway experience is offered. The remote control comes with infrared and must be held aligned against the lock. The have the same savvy small railway enthusiasts. The train departs safely at the highest speed level around the curves. And when times but tumbles from the rails, is broken nothing. This train will certainly use when the boy is mature enough for a "real" Electric Railway. The tracks definitely fit.
