I got one to hold me over when my Lionel wasn't set up (non-Christmas time), and it couldn't hold a candle to my Lionel starter set. This one stopped running after a year. My Lionel, which was bought 5 years before, is still running without issue.Moral of the story? Buy Lionel, they hold up better, have more features, and are easier for children to handle.
@CarGuyZM10 i have another lifelike train set that was NOT E-Z to set up the track broke after five years but the other stuff is still great! setting up the track was annoying and hard so it didnt last very long because it broke easily but now they have these sturdier tracks and everything else is still working lost a few parts which is my fault though.
@CarGuyZM10 - There are better, longer-lasting HO trains than this that will give your Lionel models a run for their money longevity-wise, and take up a lot less space.
dont buy life like trains there so freakin crappy mine broke in two days the front trucks came completey off but now idh2w about it since im and huge bachman spectume and reg bachmann train buyer
realistic? an N-scale loco is more realistic.

I used to have this train set when it was known as the diesel blaster. It died on me though, but I still have the trains themselves.
