Quality of train set and tracks are excellent. Product made in Hungary. Put together easily. Only negative was the power transformer made in China did not put out 18 VDC. However, I received a new power pack in a week. Also excellent packaging, all train parts fit like a glove in the pachaging which can be used for years.
This is an absolutely AWESOME starter set for a G-Scale Train (the BIG-BOY - Garden Train size). Huge fan of this product ... but the bigger fan is my grandson. I will say the the train sound is pretty darn loud... and FIXED (this is true of many trains) -- meaning, there is a switch to turn it off or on, but not a switch for variable volume. Also - at first I thought the smoke function wasn't working... but after a quick chat with the train experts, I figured out that this one will ONLY smoke when you have the speed turned almost completely up to high. Once smoking, you can back it off a hair -- but that's the answer, if you're puzzled regarding the lack of smoke. All-in-all this was a HUGE hit for adults and children alike over this Christmas holiday. I had originally planned to put it under the tree... but we decided with my 19mo old grandson -- perhaps keeping it higher than he could immediately reach might be a better solution for this year. Having said that - he spent hours seated in the bar-height chair watching that train, and to my amazement - never really grabbed it or derailed it. He did like working the "speed-dial". Highly recommend LGB products after this experience. Well packed. Arrived in a timely fashion. Loved by everyone. Hope this was helpful!
Set it up last night in anticipation of grand kids visit today. The track connections are fairly smooth to assemble HOWEVER, the little plastic track joint locks are very POORLY designed and an absolute PIA to assemble. There I said it. On the other hand the track quality seems to bet the best available for any model train system. This small 4' diameter circle limits use and play room, but train can travel at full speed(good practical limit) without jumping the rails or threatening ankles. For 400+$ you get an engine, two cars, a forklift truck, four scale mean workers, transformer,and track connector. There was a vial of "smoke" fluid listed but not present in the package. Too soon to say but the set seems to be sturdily built and hopefully will last a long time. The father of these grand kids had a extensive set of the larger scale models he reeived in about 1986 and they are still functional. I believe he could be a revealing beta tester for any item including cast steel anvils.! Speaks well of earlier production.
Bought this set for my 3 year old because he loves trains and anything construction related. I grew up playing with LGB trains so I knew it would be well made and not fall off the track like other sets do. It was a snap to set up and get running. It has all the little bells and whistles like sound, smoke and engine lights up. My son loves this train so much we can't wait to add to his collection. Highly recommend this train for the young train enthusiast.
Very nice looking train and awesome customer service. First off my train arrived earlier than I expected so that was awesome. Secondly, the look of the train is very nice!!! Lastly, we had a few things missing from our package and contacted the company and they quickly rectified the problem! Highly recommend both the train and seller!
Overall, we love this train, the set is high quality and we recommend it. This is very similar to the set I had as a child, the only difference is that ours could unplug the sound when you didn't want the noise. With this set, the train sound is on all the time. Can I turn it off or adjust the volume?
