Train very well. Don't listen to the negative reviews.

The media could not be loaded.  I love this little train, I did put the rolling stock on as well, and they couple ok if you are careful and do it properly. Also, you need to pay close attention to the tracks when pushing them together, sometimes the little metal brace doesn't line up straight to the other connector, that's why the train details, I haven't had any issues with mine, if you follows those steps, train runs amazing , would definitely buy again.

Awesome starter set, but you will end up buying more

At $76, this is a great price. Seriously, try buying an engine, 3 cars, track and a controller for less. You can't. Some of the other starter sets are worth considering though.The track with this one is only enough to make a circle which is fine, but others come with enough to make an oval which was my first purchase after buying this along with 4 more cars.I did see the same exact set for ~$90 on another site which seems to have good prices on other n-scale items. The list price is $165 on Bachmann's site.Other sets may be worth considering. Some of them even come with the obligatory Sunnyvale Train Depot which I also bought to complement this.The track was dead simple to set up even with my failing eyesight and I recommend buying a re-railer for about $2 to put the cars on the track right. The couplers are not perfect - they don't always couple properly but once they are coupled they have been solid.I even mixed in an Atlas car with their own style of knuckle couplers and experienced zero problems. The Atlas couplers are probably better than the Bachmann couplers anyway. So far there has been no reason to change them out.I've had it for just over two weeks and the train has run flawlessly except for one time it inexplicably stopped even though the light was still shining (so it had power). I reversed it and it went around backwards without problem and then went forwards again without any problem after that.Model railroading can quickly get expensive. I've spent about $200 so far and all I did was add 6 pieces of straight track, 4 cars and 4 buildings, and 50 automobiles for some stupid reason. The station was $15.99 (came assembled) and the bar that I have yet to build is $20. The 50 autos were $9.99 and are too many to know what to do with.I've got plans for scenery, more track and other building and trains which will easily raise the cost to $1000.But for $76 you get a nice small train that goes in a circle and works very well. You can leave it at that if you want and not spend anything more.

Quiet, simple, great first train

The media could not be loaded.  My son and I wanted to get into hobby trains and decided to start at the ground floor with this basic set. As soon as I set the track up, the train ran beautifully right out of the box. It is basic and not as detailed as more expensive variants, but it is great for my 7 year old and I. We've already added accessories and began building model kits to sit along the track. This train is a great entry point for this hobby.
