HO Spectrum USRA 2-10-2 Light w/DCC, SOU #5224 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This locomotive has all the problems of the ones on which it is based: turn radius. It will negotiate 18" but loses over half its speed and may derail if your track isn't perfectly laid out. On 22" it still slows down significantly more than smaller locomotives. However, I can't hold any of these "problems" against the model because they're flaws with the original design. Also like the original design, it can pull a LOT. It doesn't contain too many small parts, making more durable than most of the Spectrum line. If you run it "realistically" with slow-ish freight on easy turns you'll be very happy.

Bachmann Trains Santa?s Express Ready-to-Run On30 Scale Train Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first On30 product and it's awesome. Highly detailed with good solid construction. I bought it for my Christmas Village layout, but I'm already in the process of building a model railroad layout. I would absolutely recommend this train set to anyone.

Lionel 6-18733 Thomas & Friends Percy Steam Loco Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Lionel engine is well made and provides hours of entertainment. I would give a couple of cautions to parents: 1) wait until your child is 8 years old as Lionel recommends. Setting up an electric train set can be very frustrating to younger children. 2) Look at the HO scale first. If your kids played with the wooden or take-a-long Thomas they are use to playing with small toys. The HO scale Thomas train sets are a lot cheaper (an entire HO train set cost half as an O scale engine). If they tire of electric trains quickly, you're not out a lot of money.

Continental Express 0n30 Scale Steam Christmas Passenger Train Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Should have known better. Other trains of this variety cost 2 or 3 times as much for a reason. They were worth it. My advice, spend more for a better train set. It tells you something when trim pieces break off while you are unwrapping it. The motor gears were mis-alinged. It wasn't a cheap train set. It was expensive junk.
