Glad that LEGO still have a physical remote for their Remote Control line up. I rather use this remote than a celfone app.
The build quality is superb.
It is a simple bluetooth device with the Lego motor and connects up rather seamlessly. It functions as it should and has a lot of added features to actually control not just one train but 4 with one controller. I am very satisfied as I own a few of these.
This seems to be a very nice remote for the Lego trains. It only has forward and reverse it does not have sound effects. But if you don't want to use your smartphone it's a great alternative.
