How to get it

Available services

A dream for small drivers ‒ a locomotive that is battery powered and controlled by a button on the topside. It can also reverse and its light shows the way forward. Join on the wagons ‒ full steam ahead!

Article Number104.334.23

Product details

When it's time to roll out from the station, simply push the button forward, and if you need to reverse, push it back. If you want to stop the train, set the button in the middle. Both simple and logical.

The locomotive lights up as it steams ahead on the rails.

Can be used with most other railway systems on the market.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing productMajidI’m really impressed with the quality and design of this locomotive. It feels solid and well-built, much sturdier than I expected for a children’s toy at this price point. The engine runs smoothly on the tracks and has enough power to pull several train cars without slowing down. What really stands out is how efficient it is, it only needs two batteries, and even rechargeable ones last a surprisingly long time. The motor is strong. It’s also easy for kids to use; the simple on/off switch makes it accessible for little hands without being fragile. Overall, it’s a fantastic addition to the LILLABO train set collection. Durable, reliable, and fun, exactly what you’d hope for from IKEA. Highly recommended for parents looking for a toy that combines quality, value, and endless playtime!5

Review of train engine ShirishLoved it!5
Train engineVanFantastic. Grandson enjoys playing with it5
Excellent product. JanetIndestructible for 2 year old to play with. Easy to operate. 5
Cheap but poorly designedDariiaThis toy train has multiple design flaws: 1. When batteries are low, the train engine stops. However, if the switch is still on, the train keeps draining batteries until their voltage drops to zero. This permanently damages rechargeable batteries. 2. When going backwards (on reverse gear), this train always gets stuck climbing a bridge.2
Horrible productSamiaThis is my 2nd time buying i truly thought this would last. despite buying 2nd time for 2nd try, ( and assure you we did not do anything with the product) it was not even heavily used. And it stopped working with in 3 months. it just sitting in the cabinet. And it is not an issue of battery. and when I reached out to customer service refused to replace it. terrible service. 1
Little EngineAnonymousNice and rewarding toy.5
Powerful, missing front magnetKoreyWorks great, I will attempt adding a front magnet for a two engine train that could. Drive selection can be tricky finding the center "off" position.4
Lillabo train carHansThis engine works perfectly with the wooden train track set and attaches via magnets to the other train wagons. This is a beautiful little battery powered engine which runs at a beautiful slow pace, but powerful enough to pull several wagons over the bridge without difficulty. I should have purchased more. A wonderful toy! Highly recommended.5
Nice my daughter enjoyed the engine pulling the goods cartAnilaRecommend to other kids4

Very cool productHemaVery cool product5
Its a very good toyAnonymous reviewerIts a very good toy for kids to learn5
Oh gosh this train engine is great!AliThe only complaint is that small fingers have trouble turning it off, and instead often reverse the direction of the train, but I love that we now have a motorized engine to pull the trains along the tracks of our trainset! We have a mix of pieces from IKEA and from elsewhere and sometimes the train gets stuck as a result, and the motor isn't super strong so it can't pull everything through ever obstacle but honestly this is such a great toy that I highly recommend it to everyone!5
Strong little trainCourtneyMy kid loves this thing and I’m super impressed with how strong it is - pulls like 6 other train cars behind in on the tracks or drives all over our house over carpets etc.5
Great ValueOlukoredeThis is such a nice little toy. Our 2 year old loves it. Having this with the regular track and train pieces makes playing with it mor fun. He’s thrown it so hard on the floor, wall and all around the house but it’s still looking fine. Having replacement rechargeable batteries has made a lot difference too.5
It is very slow.EsfandiarIt is very slow.3
Good product but...WassimGood product but the battery life is very short.4

Material

What is ABS plastic?

ABS plastic is a strong and stable material with a glossy surface – making it perfect for especially used everyday objects like cutlery drawers, kitchen utensils, toothbrush mugs and bathroom hooks. ABS is made from oil-based, non-renewable raw materials, but development is progressing and we are using more and more recycled ABS. It is an important step towards our goal of only using plastic that is recycled or from renewable sources.

Function solution

LILLABO – a wonderful world of tracks and wheels

Trains chugging along through magnificent landscapes, fire trucks and police cars out on daring missions, cars zipping up and down the garage ramp and the recycling truck doing its important job. The LILLABO series allows your child to immerse themselves in a vibrant world and create their own stories and adventures. The play stimulates problem-solving and enhances motor skills, while the imaginary world helps the child interpret and understand the reality around us.
