You have to wonder if they are knockoff items given no manufacturer's name at the bottom.
To me the redesigned wheels don't appeal to me at all. In fact they are cutting cost by using stickers to make the wheels more authentic. Too bad they are not motorized otherwise I would test if they can handle tight curves better than the original wooden tracks.
As for the engines' trucks (they reminded me of Brio trains).
The only thing I like about them is that the engines come from different facial expressions aside from happy faces.
