Review: I bought this for my grandson’s birthday and he absolutely loves it.
Review: This is a great starter train set. In particular I like that for a low price point it came out of the box with accessories such as a train signal, train station, station platform, street signs, railroad signs, telephone poles and unpainted HO scale people. The train and rail cars are well built and well detailed compared to locomotives and freight cars of the past. Train delivers smooth operation. The buildings are snap together assembly but if you want a more stable building I recommend getting some plastic welder glue to keep them assembled as the parts fit loose. Rail cars come with plastic wheels which I swapped out immediately with Bachmann 33” metal wheels. The Locomotive is equipped with a smoke unit, but you must be careful to not run it without fluid in it and be careful not to overfill the smoke unit as it will leak smoke fluid all over if overfilled. Smoke unit really does not show any smoke output unless you have locomotive at 75% speed on the speed controller. Having experience with O Scale Smoke Units I think this has to go with the coil within the unit not getting enough power to work until you reach higher speeds and higher output from the power pack. Track is okay, it keeps the price of the train set down but it is fragile for young hands, and if you are new to HO Trains and EZ Track it could lead to frustration if not set up correctly or handled roughly. I would encourage to upgrade to Bachmann Nickle Silver EZ Track (With Grey Roadbed) if you are looking to expand the train set. While it may look strange both forms of track from Bachmann will connect with each other. And as a whole the train will run on any form of HO Track from other manufacturers if looking to switch out the track all together. *if you are wondering where the locomotive tender draw bar connects to on the Locomotive it’s a long rectangular slot at the rear of the locomotive, that threw me through a loop for a moment there as I expected a traditional hook n loop connection. In closing This is EASILY the most complete ready to run with added play value set for under $200 you can buy today to get introduced to model railroading in HO 1:87th Scale
