There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, when I set it up on soft carpet in my basement, I started to have issues. I could not get it around more than once or twice before it would derail and come off the tracks. After studying it for a few hours I figured out and solved the problem. The small, swiveling guide wheels in the front and back of the locomotive were the derailing culprits. But they were causing the train problems because of it's overall weight. The locomotive is so heavy that when it's going across a joint between two sections of track, especially in curves, the track sinks into the carpet causing an uneven rail surface. This is making some wheels lose contact with the rails while others are still on it. When they try to regain contact they don't always go back on straight and then cause a derailment.
I was able to somewhat solve the problem by supporting the track with pieces of cardboard. By having the cardboard under the track, it spreads the weight out more and then the track doesn't sink down so much. Started by putting cardboard under the worst spots for derailment, but ended up putting it under about half of the track.
Great train overall-smokes well after you've "warmed" up the locomotive for a bit and then adding oil and running the train 2/3-3/4 speed.
Definitely recommend setting it up on a hard surface - hard flooring or a very, very large table. I was also able to run it on 18" radius curves without too much trouble.
I am not giving a bad review just saying what happens and I'll fix it my self no worries. It's a nice set just should know what one is doing when buying this train or train set. It is a nice set and power and track was outstanding besides some engine and car issues it's oka.

when i assemble tracks, found some big gaps between rails, which makes locomotive to derail
secondly after a minute of operation, smoke comes out from command control. tried after some time same problem occurred. went to local electric shop and used with stabilizer, still same problem. within 2 hours from receiving the product, contacted amazon customer service and packed this for return
i might have received a faulty controller,but product was fabulous to micro details
rated 2 star for the dissatisfaction in operating it
will order soon once return process is done
Model train very well made, and looks very real
