I'd say it depends on the age - I hear the latest ones are a lot better than earlier models. I bought one a few years back - the detail is good and it runs well, but it doesn't pull - not heavy enough. I also noticed a problem with the truck baseplate rubbing on the rails, which I fixed by removing the baseplate and bending the plastic "arms" which hold the sideframe upwards. Since then it's been a fine runner but a little underwhelming in the haulage stakes.
