Not only the locomotives but also the cars have magnets, so you can connect them for long play sessions. My locomotive-loving son really enjoyed playing with these when he was 1 and 2 years old. They're still in good condition, so I hope they'll reach someone who loves locomotives! Christmas is just around the corner, so they're perfect for Christmas decorations too! Please check the condition in the photos. The magnets aren't super strong to begin with, but they connect without any problems. Due to the thickness, I plan to ship them in a box via Yu-Packet Post. Please read my profile before purchasing. Thank you for looking!
