| Build a track that is alive with sound and movement! A truly revolutionary new technology from BRIO combines a "smart" engine with track and accessory pieces that instruct the engine to perform a specialized task. Just place the accessory or track pieces wherever you want to control the movement and actions of the train. A small chip is embedded in the track, station or other destination, the smart engine can read the chips when the engine passes over the section. New for 2004, BRIO plans on adding even more functionality in 2005! Some of the smart track actions including stopping the train, slowing the train, reversing (the train changes direction), the train whistles or triggers other sound effects. The BRIO smart track starter set includes a battery-powered smart track engine, one piece of stop track, one piece of signal (horn) track and signs to place next to the track. The engine is powered by 2 x AA batteries (not included) and it has manual buttons for forward and reverse. Engine is 4.8" long.
