## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the actual train metal or plastic?**
A: The train and cars are plastic.
-Nicholas Smith Trains

**Q: Why are the trains so hard to connect & stay connected?   Why won’t they just sit on the track?   Takes 20 minutes to get tires lined up.   Help.**
A: There is a tool for sitting the coupler heights/alignment.  If the couplers aren't at the same height they will disconnect when going around the track.  You also need to make sure they go together and don't create a "bump" at the joint.  The sit the trains on the tracks takes practice.  I would find a hobby/train store and go in there and talk to someone.

**Q: what is the minamum width plywood is needed for this layout?**
A: The minimum size ply-board needed for this train layout is 4'x5"

L3

**Q: How do you get light to turn on?**
A: The light runs all the time, it just isn't super bright.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid running locomotive, Gorgeous passenger cars. Smooth operation. It just works.
*by F***F on January 24, 2024*

Pros:- Beautifully sculpted Locomotive, tender and passenger cars.- The details are fantastic and all rolling items have a good weight to them.- easy to setup and run, had mine running in less than 5 minutes and I have had zero prior experience with Bachmann's ez-track layouts. (I also haven't touched a model train set since the 90's)- Bachmann DC controller is foolproof, ridiculously easy to setup and use. plug and run, no tools.- Locomotive has Light and smoke unit! very cool in a set at this price point- Bachmann's EZ-Track is great for carpet, dinner tables, or any other locations where a permanent setup is not viable. (that said, I still hate "pre ballasted" tracks).Cons:- I. Hate. Ez-Track. In my opinion, it doesn't look good, it (to me) amplifies the sound of the engine going around the track. sometimes no matter how perfect you line it up, the metal rail joiners just won't line up unless you twist or otherwise angle the track in a way it wasn't meant to be. When the time comes to build my layout, I will not be using any form EZ-Track or other "pre ballasted" tracks. (Although it's worth mentioning, I will be using this for my son's layout).- The smoke/steam unit in the locomotive seems kind of weak, even after 20 minutes of running the train at 60% speed, I could really only see the smoke when I brought the locomotive to almost a crawl.So... with such an expansive list of reasons I hate EZ-Track, why am I still giving this 5 stars? Because I knew that going into it. I purchased this knowing I would likely be replacing the track, this was an experiment to inexpensively see if I could re-kindle my love for this hobby and, see if my kiddo would be captures by it, too. (He now has two Thomas and Friends HO locomotives, so that answered that question).Buy with confidence, this is an awesome set and works great out of the box. If you've experienced traditional track layouts or are otherwise more experienced, the value is still there for the engine and rolling stock. Just plan on ignoring the EZ track.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun to have for Christmas, theme set up.
*by L***3 on December 20, 2019*

It's my first HO scale set, my first choice is O scale set. I had to adjust to the difficulty of putting the cars on the track other than that it's a decent starter set. The engine is the only thing that lights up, other than that is great Christmas theme set.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice Christmas themed train
*by N***N on April 13, 2021*

Train works. Track is fine. Train is kind of low quality for the price. Plastic could be designed/tooled better. Seems like every corner except price has been cut.Still, we like it and no issues from 5’ away....just up close when handling it.
