No it is not. The ones that come with the take n play sets are small metal die cast trains.

Sorry, I sent it home with Grandson and can't remember whether it had a pic of Thomas on it...

I bought the Chuggington train for my grandson and I am 90% positive that it doesn't take batteries. The child just moves the cars along the track by hand. If you want a cool battery powered train for little ones (2-6ish), I highly recommend the Duplo Train. Another grandson has that one and adores it. The Chuggington has been fun too, especially when you can make all sorts of track configurations.

Yes all 3 cars run by battery,I bought this set and 3 others for my grandson who is 3 years old and he loves it. Because he is only3 I monitor him with it but he knows how to turn them on and put them on the track. I put it together for him and he play's for hours.

to some extent, yes. the battery operated thomas trains tend to fall off the bridge and ramps but the non-battery operated trains can glide along fine in my experience

Yes, this train runs on batteries, so you do not have to push it around the track. We got this from my sister a couple of years ago as a Christmas present because she works at Disney, but it was so cheap that we had to return it because pieces kept falling off of it. It did look very cute though and my boys cried when it kept falling apart. Hope that helps anybody who's looking into buying this product. I would not purchase this again.

No, it's battery powered...3 double A's. Mine is still using the same batteries I put in it originally, well over a year ago.

No, these trucks are not battery operated or pull-back... 100% kid-powered! My 4 year old son LOVES them though... they have real semi-soft treaded rubber wheels and loose steering for the off-road type of play. Hope this helps!

It says it has sound effects and I can see the button on top of the first train so I think this is a battery powered train option also. Any thoughts on this??? We have another one I am trying to replace.

YES. As a matter of fact, I purchased the imaginarium train table, in stead of the Thomas and saved a fortune to start my layout for the grandchildren. Then, because they had Thomas & Friends in their mind. I replaced all the trains + with Thomas Battery Operated Trains. My youngest, my Granddaughter was 2 at the time, really enjoyed them running around the tracts WITH the Noises that the Imaginarium Train Set-up made. Thomas doesn't have those tracks and pieces. I suggest that if You expand the layout, as I did, You purchase Thomas Track. The difference is that Thomas Track has grooves where the wheels go and with Battery Operated Trains, there is better traction. IF You have any other questions, please feel free to ask me. Larry

The Fire Engine is not battery operated. I have purchased several (5) Bruder trucks and all of them are "hands on" toys. He plays with them for hours. You can not go wrong with Bruder. The trucks are unbelievably durable.

No it's not battery operated. There is a "drawer" like a floorboard in a car that slides open and shut. Open allows child to rest their feet inside and an adult can push the car. Shut slides under the seat and leaves an opening so the child can "scoot" the car with their feet, like the Flinstones car. Hope this helps.

Yes, the cargo car does disconnect from the Thomas engine - they are connected by the two-way magnets that are standard for Thomas engines and cars. The Thomas engine is the same size as standard wooden Thomas engines. Hope this helps!

It is made for electricty, but I took a simple power inverter and hooked it up to a car battery to make it portable.Very easy to do.The power inverter was only $40 and it runs the Bulldog for hours.

Yes, it is battery operated. It uses two "AA" batteries. If you use batteries you don't need the transformer. You would buy the transformer if you wanted to plug the unit in and not use batteries.

Electric with a 12 volt DC supply. I would not buy a battery operated train.

Yes, the battery operated engines can run of the Wooden Train Track 100 piece set. As with any track, you may fine some bumps along the way and need to help the engines along--but adjusting the track or swapping out pieces usually fixes it.
