Good, bad, or ugly we're heading for Guadalajara (Mexico's second-largest city) to buy one tomorrow. On the phone a toy dealer explained that he had 20 of them and sold 6 yesterday.
I am unhappy about the plastic axles. I am also concerned that the wheels on the "steam" locomotive have problems turning.
Lego replied to my question that YOU CAN operate this train with the remote controls from its two "City" Lego train sets. However these controls can only operate one train at a time. An online reviewer confirmed to me that this is true.
In my opinion, the oval contains far too few tracks. However, it is compatible with the "City" tracks and I had already bought two packages of them.
One reviewer spent seven hours assembling the entire set. Knowing me, this will keep me busy through much of September.
