Great looking build
An awesome addition to my collection of builds from Nifeliz !! I have done many of their kits and will continue to buy from them. I also have many builds from Lego as well and find that Nifeliz is real close to the same quality. Overall, I only had minor difficulties with some of the smaller parts that held the railings and a couple small pieces on the front and rear bumpers staying in place. I rectified the issues with a little hot glue and called it a day. The finished piece is amazing with great attention to details. The instructions had a some glitches with details and legibility, but I just broke out the magnifying glass and all was good. Great build at a great price !!

Good quality- would buy again.
I put this train set together with my 7-year-old, and it was a fun! It took us about 2–3 days, working in a few-hour stretches. The instructions were decent, but there were a few areas where they could be clearer—some steps required a bit of guesswork (but no more than other big box brands I suppose). That said, the final result was absolutely worth it! The build was engaging, the pieces fit well, and my son loved seeing the train come to life. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys detailed building projects! Totally worth the money- I will buy another set again.

Nice Locomotive
I enjoyed building this locomotive. Had a couple of missing parts that I worked around but I'm still waiting for those parts 2+ weeks later. I waited almost a month for missing Big Boy parts. My reason for not giving this 5 stars is the instruction manual is it is hard to see the assembly diagrams because they are printed too dark and there are a couple of unmarked packages of parts that should be labeled and shown in the manual when they are to be used. This is a great kit for the money.

Very nice!
It arrived sooner than expected, and it's a beautiful addition to my set of Nifeliz trains. I had no problems with the build and no deformed or missing pieces. This train is quite long but very sturdy, and it barely fits on my shelf. lol The earlier train sets from 2022-2023 didn't include a display base like this, so to maintain consistency with my display I chose to not build the display base. One thing I was disappointed with is the new format of the instruction book. The pictures are smaller to fit more assembly steps on each page resulting in a smaller book; however, the smaller pictures make it harder to identify colors and distinguish some small parts from each other.

Back to plastic model kits
This is my last brick model kit Too many missing parts some pieces had poor holding power forced to use glue Many large spaces had to be covered with cardboard When glueing air tanks under train piece warped it was impossible to fit had to use glue and wood to have a glueing surface Going back to plastic model kits

Espectacular locomotora DD40ax. Gran calidad de armado. Llegó en caja. Muy bonitos detalles. Solo se batalla en el eje de los trucos, no alcanza a dar vuelta. Está genial su base para exhibición.
