Welcome to the Adventurous World of Playtrains!
Playtrains is a range of remote controlled train toys and accessories designed for children aged 3 and up to create their own model railway world. The Playtrains range features a whole selection of products providing children with endless possibilities to build, develop, learn and create. Each of the Playtrains features working lights, multiple sounds, 3 speeds in both forward and reverse, and they run on an easy to clip together track system.
Playtrains is so much more than a range of toy trains, because leading the way are Flash, Bolt and Thunder! Each character has their own personality and stories to tell as they go on adventures and make friends along the way.
