Are these heavier metal cars (like hotwheels) or lightweight plastic?

Hey, you can get these at the dollar store. But they're not worth it because they are constantly falling apart. Therefore, they're hazardous to play with for children under 3. Made in China junk.

No they are no metal, they are mostly plastic. They fell apart! Some of them as we took them out of the container.

Kerri, they are of medium weight. They are not heavy which is what I was attracted to. They are easy to move, but have enough weight to know they are composed of metal. I love mine. Hope I've answered your question. Marcie

They are Metal. They are exactly as the single packaged ones. The only problem is that you don't know what you are getting. I got jeeps, truck, van when i wanted mostly cars. But I can't complain, my son loved them. It was a very colourful assortment.

The tracks have metal rails on plastic ties and the engine is metal but the cars are plastic.

They are a combination the "mixer" is plastic however the "cab" is metal. I bought mine for my grandson and he love it.

The train tracks are both plastic and metal; the rails are metal held in place with plastic. The train wheels on the locomotive are metal as they need to contact the rails to work with the transformer for power. The majority of the train cars and the body of the locomotive is plastic. It is a great beginner set for a youngster, and this set can withstand some abuse from use by a youngster. It is, by no means, a collector set nor is it a high quality set. I have no complaints about the set and that says a lot from a person like me who is an avid collector of expensive and vintage Rivarossi HO scale trains. My son loved the set and he knows the difference between a high quality set and one that is not. I hope this helps.

They are pretty heavy. Way heavier than an aerospoke. But they are magnesium. Great for polo or the hard streets.

I don't know what kind of metal it is but aluminum is lightweight and this seems heavier to me.

The cars are plastic and do not have any sharp edges or corners. They are wider and a bit longer than Matchbox cars. Ours have been used several times a week and are still in excellent condition.

To my surprise they are made of plastic. I haven't given the boys the scooter so I had to check. Hope this helps.

They are a heavy plastic. This was a graduation gift for a boy to take it to college. I did worry a little about the wheels holding up.

Thanks but am getting conflicting answers about the wheels being metal vs plastic. One person said they are not metal, but plastic with a rubber belt turning them.

The locomotive is all metal. The passenger cars are mostly plastic, but they are nice. I imagine plastic makes the cars lighter and makes for easier and smoother pulling by the locomotive. Train set is well made in my opinion. I am very happy with it.

I believe they're molded plastic. So far they've held up perfectly, even after the front wheel was driven over by a car. No damage!

FasTrack is what the this set comes with, it's a plastic gray base. The railings are metal, so the train runs on them. The cars are all plastic, but well made. My son is a toddler and he's kind of rough with them. The actual engine is mostly metal though, it's VERY heavy for its size. If the cars were metal it would be a lot harder for the train to pull them. So I like the plastic cars, they are easy to pull. The detail on the train isn't that bad either, its not a expensive set, but I was pleased with the looks. The smoke isn't that thick when it comes out, that could be better. The whistle is kind of soft too, but you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a beginners train set, its not that bad. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

The wheels are plastic, as are the white wheel wells. The tires feel like a different type of plastic; they almost have a rubber feel, but not quite. You don't have to fill them with air.
