good features: they are the cheapest on the market and they run pretty well <br /> <br />bad features: details arent 100% prototypical for all roads(but neither are Athearn or LBF), dummy couplers on the older runs(not really a bad feature if you only run unit trains and dont break the train up for loading or unloading), no interior braces like the real thing(LBF and Athearn have them). 33" plastic wheels....should have 36". not very many different numbers available. sometimes 6, sometimes 12(you can get up to 120 different car numbers with LBF. dont know about Athearn, but i think they only have 6-12 different numbers). <br /> <br /> <br />overall, i really like them. i have a 60 car train right now. i had 2 other 60 car trains, but i sold them. they are the best way to go if you want to run long trains because you can usually find them for 45-50 dollars for a 6 pack. LBF and Athearn run 15-20 dollars a car.
