The minimum age for Lioncheif engines is 5. My son got his Thomas set when he was 3, a transformer controlled set he broke a few cw 80s because he would slam the speed up and down real hard on the transformer, Eventually the transformer would give out. He is four now and he can control the Polar Express a lot better with the Lioncheif remote. I wonder if they plan on using the Lioncheif control on the American Flyer Polar Express set they have coming out this year?. That would really help kids get into S gauge too. The features of these new Locos are awesome a lot like there legacy big brothers and I think that Lionel has a real hit with them!

The AMERICAN FLYER Catalog does say that the 'S GAUGE' Polar Express will come with Remote Control, must be the LIONCHIEF System, I would think...

The Remote Control for S Gauge is actually mentioned in the 2013 LIONEL CHRISTMAS Catalog..
