Description

Is it a plane or a train? It's both! The Hape Propeller Engine combines the fun of both planes and trains into one award-winning engine that provides a genuinely novel play experience for kids 3 years and up.

Featuring three gear settings — forward, reverse, and free-wheeling — the battery-powered engine's propeller spins when either forward or reverse gears are chosen, making a roaring sound as it moves ahead and a warning sound in reverse. Compatible with all standard wooden railway sets, it's a brilliant standalone gift or the perfect addition to an existing collection.

Why Little Stars carries it: Winner of the 2018 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award — one of the toy industry's most respected independent accolades.
