This is an ideal starter set: train, track, transformer, and even a landscape mat. The train (engine, tender, 3 cars) alone is worth the price even if you already have a layout and don't need the track, etc. The engine runs smoothly and is able to pull additional cars without strain.

the connections between the tracks and the controller are spotty so it doesn't always run when you turn the knob. the train connectors fall out of the slot they fit in so you have to keep putting them back in. the engine locked up because the linkage between the wheels got out of sync, there might be some fibers in the wheels but basically it worked for a day and failed, now I have to repair it. I expected more for $180.

I originally bought this set for my birthday a few years ago when I wanted to get back into model trains, and it was thanks to James May's Reassembler series that made me want to buy this set. The Flying Scotsman is a LNER A1 engine that was one of the first steam engine in the UK to be saved from scrap. The model itself is very detailed and runs very well. I do recommend this set (or any other version) if you want to get into model trains.

We have had alot of fun already with the train set and look forward to building and expanding it, and creating scenery. Our 7 year old has really enjoyed watching it work and mastering how to operate it.
