Actually, this set has grown on me since I got one for Christmas. It's quite
cute as Larry says. I still think it could have been done better but all in

One annoying thing is that if you run it for a while around a circuit,
eventually the tipper car tips over and rams into a bridge support and
crashes the train :( They made it too top heavy. I don't remember this
happening with other Lego tipper cars.
