Pros:	very good price
Cons:	coupler pocket lids are friction mounted and needs to be secured with glue, car too light to run empty

The cars aren't heavy enough to run empty. The coupler boxes are held in place by friction so they couldn't support a kadee coupler without gluing the coupler box lid down. The trucks are terrible looking (they're cast too thick and have contours that are non-existant on the prototype), but the brass wheels are decent.

The ladders snap into place although a bit of glue may be necessary to hold them there.
