i have over the years bought their trains when cheap,not at their inflated prices,but this last one is an all time low quality item,they used to be made in singapore/taiwan,now china,which i would have thought would have been better,but unless you can get the loco well cheap i would not bother,good for display or ornament purposes only, defiantly not a good investment,ken
