Good little train set, something different to the normal with having a crane.The crane is the normal Hornby Breakdown crane, which you can get in a 'steam era' rusty colour or modern painted yellow. This one is red with a British Rail symbol on the side (like from the 1980s). Of course, that doesn't match with steam train (a few decades out!); but this being a beginners train set that won't matter most young children (just be careful if your recipient is very clued up on these things!). The crane is weighted so it won't tip over when used to lift derailled trucks and wagons. Add on winders are plugged in to operate the hook and crane height. Excellent pulley mechanism for raising the crane arm.The train has a plain colour scheme,

Nice starter set - has the standard basic oval and Track Pack one track, and a midi mat. The mat is paper, so not really durable for using over and over again unless you build a baseboard.The locomotive is a little under powered for the wagons - you need to be quite gentle setting off to prevent slipping, and the crane is quite hard to position on the rails, so maybe not the best for younger children who might get frustrated with.The detail on the engine is quite basic - if you like realism a bit of weathering may be good to make it look a bit better. The crane is lovely and nicely detailed.

Great amount of track, high quality crane and boxcar.lovely little loco, its not a "pocket rocket" it runs at a really nice speed for its size, its not a Mallard but its still one of my favourite locos I own(You can tell somethings good when a teenager gives 5 stars)
