The handset is what changes this set. Instead of switching the engine on and watching it circle until someone lifts it off, a child drives it — start, stop and run it again from across the room while the smoke rises and the sound plays. The box is branded Classic Series, Train 1820, Spray Rail, and sold as a 44-piece set.

The train is a black and gold vintage engine with a coal tender behind it, then a cream coach lettered R.B.O 005 and a maroon coach at the tail. The gold lining, the red wheel rods and the lettering are what make it read as a period train rather than a generic toy, and they photograph far better than the price suggests.

Spray is the box's word for the smoke effect: water from the small dropper bottle goes into the funnel, and the engine pushes a plume out as it moves. Light and sound run at the same time, so the three effects land together on the first lap rather than one at a time.

Forty-four pieces covers the four vehicles, the remote, the track sections and the smaller fittings, which is the honest way to read any piece count printed on a train box. The sections click together into a loop by hand, and the whole layout lifts apart again when the floor is needed for something else.

It suits a child of about three and up with an adult filling the water, and it makes a strong birthday present for a house where a plain battery train has already been outgrown. Older children run the whole thing themselves, including the refills.
