Once the tender, cab and boiler were put together, overall, the remaining kit doesn't seem much more complicated than a plane or automobile from a department store. It's a rather deceiving bulk presence. I've had way more issues with battery operated automobile models of the era too. I give it a B+ to A- on a strict grading curve where plastic peaks at A vs A+. I will surely build another AHM/Rivarossi given the chance. (Not giving this a Prussian blue boiler is killing me already, lol.)
