Someone get this kid a Postwar era set of 2343's or other diesel! Bet you can find a decent pair AND a postwar transformer to handle running it for less than this cheap *** set cost originally. If I had a spare engine, I would gift it to the child for nothing! This is the kind of crap that ****es me off at these companies. You go cheap, even on starter sets and expect these kids to have a good experience and stay with the hobby. That is NOT going to happen with crap like this being sold to kids. Lionel tried this with the later Scout sets and we know what a total POS those are. Now the early 2-4-2 scout style engines had nice spur gear motors in them. Heck, even the LTI era steam starter sets had better motors. So sad to see this. AD
