This is a great starter set for anyone that wants to get into the world of model railroading. I really like how nice the engine and rolling stock look. Very detailed for such a small scale. One thing I like about this starter set is that it comes with a good engine, not a cheap version that would help keep the price down. It also includes Kato's M1 track set which gives you a nice big oval to start with. I would totally recommend this to anyone wanting to start out or build up their N-scale collection.
