My Aristo switcher, and my bachmann big hauler, have both been back to the shops for repair.  The Buddy L is still going, no problems. I'm not saying that the Buddy L train is better quality, but not everyone has had a problem with them.  Mine only has about 120 hrs. total run time, but light, smoke, sounds all still work, nothing is broken, and it pulls the 8 cars I have hooked to it just fine.  It has never derailed, even over the 3 turnouts that it traverses every round on my layout. The set came with Engine, tender (with sound), box car, gondola, and caboose. Plus track and controller. The track is similar to Bachmann, and not for use outdoors.  I've used the transformer that came with the set.  It works ok, but I've updated with bigger power supply and TE control. Guess what I'm saying is, for $99, it has served me well.  I will admit that I am the only one running the train.  My kids have grown up and off on their own.  So, the Buddy L might not stand up to the rigors of kids play.  Still for someone on a tight budget, I wouldn't rule it out completely.
