This would be a very nice model, if it worked properly. It is made with extremely fine detail, and looks very good. Unfortunately it has basic functional problems. The rear wheels of the bogey tend to foul the moving valve gear, causing various problems, including derailments, locking up of the mechanism, and ultimately likely damage to the valve gear and connecting rods. Mine did this, ultimately breaking off one of the main connecting rods, and I have seen other instances of this model where similar things have happened. I assume that it must be possible for some instances of this model to run properly... but it's hard to see how, examining mine, as it appears that the moving valve gear hitting the bogey wheels on curves is always going to be a problem.
