Because i rushed the project i am not pleased with all the results. Please recommend a better Ho trainset " <br /> <br />I also bought a life like set yaers ago and was not happy with the performance. The cars were so light almost anything would make them derail. Engine ran so fast, it was almost guaranteed that I'd have a derailment every trip around the layout. I bought some Athern engines and freight cars and then weighted them to NMRA standards and things ran a whole lot better. Now I use the life like stuff to practice triming off molded grabs, hand painting grafetti with gel pens, etc.
