I own one. It runs pretty good for the price, a little noisy, but then again Im comparing it to Kato and P2K. I did have one problem with it though, The trucks are installed with a lot of play, you can move them back and forth maybe 1/4 inch. Its a little rediculous, you can actually see the trucks move forward before the engine moves. This caused problems on turnouts because the front truck would slide forward and hit the frame inside causing a derailment. I ground the frame down though and now it runs fine. So they are a good buy, but if they have derailment problems check and see if the trucks are hitting anything.
