## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you take out the green block looking things in the 2nd car?**
A: Yes. The crates can be taken out of the car.

**Q: What scale is the train?**
A: Ready to play is 1:24 scale, g gage is 1:48 scale

**Q: Is there any way to configure the track so it is more narrow than 50"?  I would love to use it on a table.**
A: The track can be configured 3 different ways.  Use all of the track to make an oval 72" x 50".  Use more straight and less curved to make a rounded square shape.  Use only curved track to make a perfect circle which I'm pretty sure will be less than 50" 
There are 24 curved and 8 straight pieces of track.

**Q: Does this play Christmas music? I noticed a musical note button on the remote control.**
A: When you use the musical note button the conductor says "All aboard this train is heading north!".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal para el árbol de navidad
*by J***R on 8 February 2019*

Muy buen producto, cubre las expectativas, excelente tamaño, ideal para el árbol de navidad, el único pero que le podría sería que tiene sonido constante de locomotora y no hay forma de bajar el volumen del sonido o silenciarlo, fuera de eso me gusto mucho...
