James, an alright first impression
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently we received the diecast metal collection James. Unlike the motorized offering I have very little complaints. He looks enough like the character to me, and the younger members of the family seem to enjoy him a lot as well. He glides along all track we currently have, albeit I still have yet to receive any of the new track system to test him on that. The only reason I did not give this product 5 starts is because of the coal car. It is very light and I could Forsee this being bouncy in longer trains, but more importantly is it is permanently attached via a plastic draw bar. This draw bar is sturdy, but I could see it breaking with a particularly rough kid, so fellow parents should keep that in mind and stick with the smaller basis engines if you forsee that being a problem.
