I have quite a bit of Life-Like Trainset Locomotives, cars, track buildings ect <br /> <br />My assessment of life-like train set level items. <br /> <br />Locomotives. <br /> <br />Decent detail. Reccomend taking shell and mounting on new drive, Or just rebuild the unit upon aquisistion. <br /> <br />Freight cars. Nice detail can be made to perform satisfactorily with talgo truck mounted Kadee Couplers. Reccomend converting to standard trucks and body mounted couplers however. <br /> <br />Passenger Cars. <br /> <br />No expereince with so can not comment. However they are shorter than scale length. <br /> <br /> <br />Standard Track -Non-Brass <br /> <br />as good as any other. However its not the most inexpensive however. Pricing to similar quantities often shows Atlas as having better price. <br /> <br />Standard Track- Brass <br /> <br />Same as all brass track. same failings***well. <br /> <br />Power Lock Track <br /> <br />No expereince with so can not comment. However Oddly shaped connecting system makes for harder transistioning to standard track even other forms of roadbed track. Also out of all lines of roadbed track avialable. Power Lock Track has the most limited number of pieces. <br /> <br />Power Packs <br /> <br />They do their job. Make the train go foward or back. and make for variable speed. But still not as finely crafted as an MRC power pack. <br /> <br />Buildings and Accessories. <br /> <br />Some of the best around. High Quality and several building kits intended for kitbashing. Large selection of signs telephone poles figures vehicles. Light up acessories are availalbe. All of them with a high level of detail. <br /> <br />Just my views on the Life-Like trainset Line. <br /> <br />James <br />
