Cute, Solid, and Very Useful Mar 23, 2009
By N. Hurst
This Percy engine is pretty neat. The "lights" part is a little weak, with a very small yellow headlamp on the front bumper. It's not very bright, but I guess you can't expect it to be a flashlight or something.
The sounds part is pretty good though. The train makes a chugging sound as it rolls, and chugs faster or slower depending on how fast he's moving. There is also a button at the top of the cab, which either plays a "peep-peep" or steam release noise (IIRC). The sounds are not too loud or annoying unlike so many of my son's toys.
I haven't even been tempted to remove the batteries or try to disable the speaker and tell my son that Percy lost his voice after catching cold down at the harbor. Though I did have to insist that Percy didn't need a bath and didn't want to play in the sandbox.
Overall, it seems like a nice sturdy addition to the collection!
I rated it at a 3 for education because really, I don't expect these things to do much other than keep my son busy and quiet for a little while. Nevertheless, you can use it to demonstrate magnetic properties and what inertia and centripetal force will do to a train coming off a high bridge and hitting a sharp curve without slowing down.
