This review is from: Bachmann Rail Chief Ready To Run Electric Train Set – Ho Scale (Toy)
Like most scale train sets, this is a model first and a toy second. I would not suggest it for children as the track and train are both delicate, not through poor construction, but simply BECAUSE they are models. That aside, the detail in this Bachmann set is phenomenal- it harkens back to the quality of old HO sets Lionel used to make. The BNSF runs a line not more than a quarter mile from my home, and looking out the window I can see GP40’s just like the one in this set run by with the very same livery. The tracks were easy to put together and consistently built. As with most small-scale train sets, the cars are a bit tricky to put on the rails at first, but after doing it a few times it becomes easy. The set comes with a few bags of road/rail signs, people, and power poles, which are pretty cheap and basically painted, if at all, but are a nice touch for a beginning modeler (or someone who wants a train for their Christmas tree like me). Also included is a signal tower which straddles the track- it’s snap together but glue will hold it better. Overall, a great deal for an starter set from the go-to name for HO scale trains.

I bought this set for my self. So far it runs great! This diesel locomotive is great and smooth running. I think this set is great for starting with model trains. I would recommend this set to the recommended age of 14, the cars are very delicate. I would also recommend buying some more track with your order, soon it will get boring with just an oval.
