Review: Awesome product - Awesome product on Time delivery
Review: Great starter set and fast shipping. - Getting into model railroading for my retirement. Ordered it on a Monday afternoon. Received it Friday morning in Atlantic Canada. Shipped same day.Fast shipping. Came well packaged. Set it up and worked awesome out of the box just have to take time putting the track together properly. Full speed forward and reverse........no derailments. Don't know what all the negative comments are about. User error I'd say. Not really meant for young children I don't think. Didn't realize it came with steel track so I ordered another train set with nickel silver tracks as there are more options for track expansion. Going to set it up to run three trains :-) This seems like a quality set for the price, lots of detail on the engine and cars. All in all very happy!!

Supero mis expectativas. Tienes buenos acabado y el material con el que esta elaborado son de muy buena calidad y resistentes, tienen muy buenos detalles, muy buena velocidad hacia adelante y hacia atrás, no tuve ningún problema en armarlo y ponerlo a funcionar siguiendo las instrucciones y viendo uno que otro video. Recomiendo adquirir un paquete de vías rectas extra.
