Pretty detailed model for the price point. Engine is a "Railroad" series, so they're usually simpler for someone on a budget or beginners.
Set came without any kind of box or packaging materials. Seriously, the shipping label was just stuck in the set. Engine came damaged, missing the coupler and having some smaller details broken off (both sets of steps and a buffer).
No big deal, I can repair it, just know that not everyone has the materials or know how

Nice train set

I didn't know what to expect from a British line of model trains.what a difference from American brands.the locomotive run very quiet and smooth and passenger cars are finely detailed and the price for the set was very reasonable .very impressive.did my research on British model trains after and found their other Train lines and rolling stock outdo the American train companies,quality and price-wise.the only qualm I had was the locomotive was lacking a headlight,but no big deal,still a stunning locomotive,very detailed.would recommend purchasing the flying scotsman set,the controller is just a basic starter,but I already had better one,so it's just a back-up,just in case.tally-ho,brits!
Worth the money

I am getting back into model rail roading and was looking for this particular locomotive. I was aware of this set but was unsure of the quality compared to a separate locomotive off hornbys website. After receiving this set I am very satisfied with my purchase. The rail carriages have more detail than expected, locomotive itself has a fair amount of weight and decent details. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to start the hobby
A Beautiful Train Set With A Single Flaw
Chip✓ Verified Purchase•July 19, 2023
I really wanted to give this set 5 stars. The loco and tender are beautiful, the coaches are beautiful. The track is a little tough to assemble, but that's because it's good, tightly connected track.
The only issue I have is the controller. When I powered up the loco and began running the train, I could hear an annoying buzzing sound coming from it. This happened at any speed I tried. I had done some research on the Hornby power controller before buying this set, and was aware of this issue. I happened to have a Rail Power 1370 controller handy, so I rigged up some wiring that would work with the power jack on the Hornby rail.
The train performed flawlessly when I substituted the other controller. Smooth and quiet at every speed.
Buy this and get a better controller for it, too. You won't be disappointed.
