Do the additional cars have batteries and run by themselves with the push of a button?

Yes the cars have AAA batteries, but the batteries are for the music and sound effects. They are not able to run by themselves. I have not put them on the track yet as my grandson will receive them tomorrow for Christmas, but they are really cute.

No, they don't go by themselves and was very dissapointed finding out the hard way.

They can, but are much better off when running on the battery. Since the electric motor in the engine provides a little resistance, my kids preferred to use them with batteries, but also sometimes without. I know this kind of doesn't answer the question, but it really depends mostly on the child. I would give it an 85/15 on needing a battery. They DO last a long time, though. Months, in fact.

Car requires 3 AA batteries; controller takes one 9-volt battery. The remote is included the batteries are not included.

no it does not, you will need 4 AAA batteries for the car and 2 AA for the controller.

There are no batteries. Gravity allows the cars placed at the top of the track to cascade to the bottom.

No, you do not have to buy batteries. They are all ready to go. There is a little pull tab that like activates them.

No it comes with its own batteries. Have fun with it, it is a great toy, for boys of all ages.

The cars do not move by themselves. I recently purchased the train station set and found that the train does move by itself after you push the button on the smoke stack.

I believe it was AA, they are no necessary, there is a little cell phone but they can play with it without batteries.

It has an ac adapter to a spot on the track with the triggers for each lane. No batteries.

We don't yet but as quick as the car needed new batteries we just bought some to put in them. The controller doesn't go through batteries nearly as fast.

Yes, they can be pushed manually. Our 2 year old likes to push the trains. The battery can be switched on & off on the top of the engine. He knows how to turn the battery on & off so he uses the train both ways. This is his favorite toy ever!

Yes, through the manufacturer but they haven't carried them for quite awhile. We are still using batteries on ours for just that reason.

No, it doesn't have a battery. You plug it in when you need to use it. Make sure the car is running when you do so.

No it is a small battery operated toy that has push buttons for the simulation of starting and revving up.

Depending on the car, they will either take 1 or 2 AA batteries. My grandsons love the track & cars.

I believe you're right. I connected them to battery with a seperate switch so that I can turn it on/off whenever I want. Otherwise, it's controlled by the headlight.
