Well built, rugged and extremely easy to assemble. You can be "on the rail" within 5 minutes of opening the box! Not complicated, very smooth controller and locomotive.

Would certainly recommed this set to anyone who would like to experience, at a reasonable cost, model railroading.

i expected better from bachmann because i own other products from this company. the wheels on the freight car fell off as i took it out of the box, and there were only the front wheels on the caboose.it may sound petty but for the price it should at least stay in one piece until it goes around the track a few times.

I bought this as a birthday present for my 9 year old son, and he loves the authenticity of the train engine and the train cars. The train cars, especially the engine, are precision machinery and need to be treated as such. My son understands that and he is having a blast. It is a leap for him over the LEGO train sets and Thomas train sets. The tracks are easy to assemble. However, the signals need to be assembled with patience, and the figures need a bit of filing to smooth the bottom platform. These can easily be handled by an adult. Overall, a great introductory train set and a nice toy for both father and son!
