The purchase I made from you was a good choice. It is of course, a great starter set. It arrived in new condition and everything checked out OK. Great price! I will purchase again from you. Thanks again. Just in time for my grand-daughter to play with.

As the set is fairly expensive for our use (seasonal – under the Christmas tree), we would not have purchased this item without other reviewers giving it such high ratings. Now that we have the set, we agree with the high ratings. It is easy to set up, it looks great under the tree, and it runs flawlessly. The ability to just connect the track together and lay it on the carpet was one of its most appealing features to us. I was certain when my boys ran it at full throttle that it would derail but it did not. I think they have even run it backwards at full or near-full throttle without it derailing. It is very well built. As for cons, we think the smoke feature is only so-so as the white smoke only comes out very intermittently for us, is sort of hard to see, and replacement fluid isn’t cheap. Another reviewer mentioned the railing on the observation car (the last car) coming off. We have experienced that too, and we’ll probably glue that piece on. The starter set track layout is small and we are already wanting to buy more track. These are minor issues to us in an otherwise great set that we are very happy to have purchased.
