I received my set last afternoon,(UP mth solid rocket transport)  what a beautiful huge 8 axel cars, I hesitate for a few years to add it to my collection afraid they will not fit in my layout due to their width 3 1/4" I had no problem, even they are huge they fit pretty well with a little more hang out, about 1/8" more than a premier 70 fotter passenger car.
I adquiere this set from Mr. Muffin. I order it Friday night and get it next Wednesday free shipping, couldn't believe. When I tried to log in the engine in my system it read ENGINE ERROR I email Mr Muffin costumer service  about 9:00 pm and they reply me with what to tray and offer me the alternative to send the engine back for a replacement if I could not fix it, I did what he suggested, reset the engine from the Z-400 transformer. Here how to do it, tap whistle-horn once, tap bell bottom 5 times, engine is reset, place the engine back to track log it in and there is this beauty running.Once again thank you Mr. Muffin, I am still wondering how you have customer tech support at midnight lol, thanks

I agree, Forrest.  I ended up buying two sets.  One I run with the covers off - just so interesting to see the various parts of the rocket inside.  The other I run with the covers on, but empty (how can you tell?).  I have assembled the various parts of the rocket and have it on display complete.  BIG rocket.  Very cool!

This thread inspired me to make a special display shelf for the rocket itself.  As I said I had the rocket sections from one of my sets out of the cars and assembled, but I had the rocket standing in an out of the way corner. There really wasn't a great place to show it off.  Most of the display areas in my train-room are made to show off long, low things, not tall, narrow things.  So . . . took all of ten minutes to make and mount.

Were. All gone. 

With the price for the set, engine plus 5 rocket cars, you get better deal than with the cars set only, I have the Dash8 from NS, and now I add the same engine from the set but UP, is beautiful, another engine to my fleet won't hurt nobody so I'm very happy, I mean I am talking if you get a good deal like the one I got from Mr. Muffin.1430821027015-1025729756
