Thunder Valley Ready-to-Run N Scale Train Set, Multi

Nice one

It is gud received on time

loco runs well, quiet and smooth. cars do not stay hooked up especially when going over turnouts etc.

At $76, this is a great price. Seriously, try buying an engine, 3 cars, track and a controller for less. You can't. Some of the other starter sets are worth considering though. The track with this one is only enough to make a circle which is fine, but others come with enough to make an oval which was my first purchase after buying this along with 4 more cars. I did see the same exact set for ~$90 on another site which seems to have good prices on other n-scale items. The list price is $165 on Bachmann's site. Other sets may be worth considering. Some of them even come with the obligatory Sunnyvale Train Depot which I also bought to complement this. The track was dead simple to set up even with my failing eyesight and I recommend buying a re-railer for about $2 to put the cars on the track right. The couplers are not perfect - they don't always couple properly but once they are coupled they have been solid. I even mixed in an Atlas car with their own style of knuckle couplers and experienced zero problems. The Atlas couplers are probably better than the Bachmann couplers anyway. So far there has been no reason to change them out. I've had it for just over two weeks and the train has run flawlessly except for one time it inexplicably stopped even though the light was still shining (so it had power). I reversed it and it went around backwards without problem and then went forwards again without any problem after that. Model railroading can quickly get expensive. I've spent about $200 so far and all I did was add 6 pieces of straight track, 4 cars and 4 buildings, and 50 automobiles for some stupid reason. The station was $15.99 (came assembled) and the bar that I have yet to build is $20. The 50 autos were $9.99 and are too many to know what to do with. I've got plans for scenery, more track and other building and trains which will easily raise the cost to $1000. But for $76 you get a nice small train that goes in a circle and works very well. You can leave it at that if you want and not spend anything more.

Buen equipo, calidad, precio...
