"This build was fun and interesting. It looks really nice (the orange looks really good) and it's obvious that a lot of thought was put into the design of this set.
I think it really needs a loco on the other end to look finished and it's a bit unfortunate that the locos and passenger cars can't also be purchased separately to build a train of a custom length and configuration.
The quality of this set is excellent and the only issue I had was that a magnet on one of my couplers was a bit too weak to keep the loco connected to the passenger cars. I just put a small flat neodymium magnet between the two couplers and the issue was resolved.
Overall this is an impressive train set and it's well suited for grown ups who enjoy constructing with Lego."
