Pros:
|
Lighted interiors, metal wheels, solid construction, good detail, smooth rolling
|
|
Cons:
|
Plastic couplers, why not include Kadee's ?
|
|
 These cars roll and operate better than the 85 ft Walthers cars that I have which cost twice as much!
Cars come with lighting already installed and working fine. No lighting kit required like Walthers cars.
 The plastic couplers just don't stay connected. Had to change them out for Kadee's but the #148's I put on are TOO Long so I need to get shorter ones.
Does not have the close coupling like Walthers.
All things being considered, I am quite happy with these cars and would not consider changing them out for Walthers. I have a 4 car set of Rivorossi 60' heavy weights and these cars are equivalent, but the Rivorossis are not lighted.
