Life-Like Trains N Scale Freight Flyer Electric Train Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live alone in a small apt & have had no train since I was young back in the '40s & '50s when every Christmas I set up my train on a figure 8 track under the Christmas tree. I did a lot off research online before I finally settled on this train which I have put on one end of my dining table & plan to have a simple layout for it, probably with a Christmas tree in the middle of it.
My initial impression upon receiving the train was negative as I had to almost destroy the packaging in order to get it open. Then while I was carefully removing the train components, one of the little freight cars lost a pair of wheels due to being packed too tightly in the box. I was especially disappointed to see that the railings on the locomotive were very cheaply made, very fragile & easily torn off. One did partially tear off & the only way I could get it stuck back on was with scotch tape.
However, despite my inferior eyesight due to aging, I was eventually able to replace the pair of wheels on the freight car. I set up the track & was able one by one to place first the locomotive & then the various cars on the track & finally get the train going after quite a bit of experimentation. Obviously the "N scale" because of its smaller size takes special handling but we have become "friends" now.

Life-Like Trains N-Scale Powered Locomotive - GP38-2 Lo-Nose Conrail Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderful addition to my collection. I gave 5 stars for educational value because I believe there is so much you can learn from model railroading. History, Math, Science, Culture, Etc. There are so many types of trains from around the world and you get to decide how you want your train world when you build your layout. There really are no rules. You use your IMAGINATION! Great Detail.

Life-Like Trains N-Scale Powered Locomotive - F40PH Amtrak Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great little engine for my little 7 year old train engineer and his Daddy. The have worked on building a small layout together, and this was the perfect addition to their train town. It stays on the track, runs smooth. It can handle the back and forth controlling of my son, and pulls 3 passenger cars smoothly.
