Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Look excellent, good empty weight
|
|
Cons:
|
add on details
|
I have about ten of these cars. Most of which are older models with out diecast frames. This new diecast frame is great. The car runs much better empty and you can use cheap plastic coil loads instead of metal ones.
The add-on details, while annoying, are well marked and easy to apply.
The Red Caboose coil cars may look better, but this is a great car for the price and much more durable.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Decent paint
|
|
Cons:
|
It's a half-built kit
|
For the price I paid, I shouldn't receive a half-built kit. I have both the kit and Gold Line versions. The hoods on the gold line version lack horizontal and vertical grabs (those are to be user installed and painted). At least on the kit version the vertical grabs are molded on!
