train.jpg Get ready for hours of fun for your kids, and possibly hours of headaches for you. As this toy train chugs along this brightly colored track it plays musical notes, just like a xylophone.

Each of the 44 “tracks” are actually xylophone keys that play notes in the key of C for a full scale as the train passes over. You can just let the train run over the tracks playing one of the seven songs in the included song book, or the kiddies can make up their own music. The keys are color coded, so that even if your little one can’t read yet, he or she can follow the colors in the book to create their music.

“The train moves automatically when switched on, and songs repeat as the train makes a circuit of the track…Ten pieces of plastic track are included, in addition to a coal car and an engineer figure.”
