My son soon to 4 years received it for Christmas with a max extension schnell! And it's FAN !!!!!! What I love is that it is modular. I can do a simple loop so that it plays without derailing too early and after we can make a nice loop, a loop and a big turn. one can even adapt this circuit (installed in 2 minutes) to the room where it is mounted (in long along my son's bedroom wall for every day or spread out in the lounge or in the middle of his room occasionally.) I really regret this purchase and would recommend it!
