"My Thoughts on Bachmann's Rail Chief Train Set"

JesusFreak

I was pleased with the simplicity of this set's speed changer, with the quality of the engine's paint job, and with the cheap price of this set. Not only did I get the train, three cars, and a caboose; but I also received a circle of track and packets of passengers, signs, telephone poles, and a signal bridge. The train itself can move at varying speeds both forwards and backwards. The only problems I have seen with this set are loose wheels on the cars and springs popping off the knuckle couplers. Both of these problems, I believe can be avoided with gentle treatment. Overall, this set is perfect for beginners and experienced railroaders alike.

"amazing"

rp2 (glendale, az)

The cars and locomotive have a good size. Tracks fit nicely together. Also not to fast to where if going full speed the train will derail. SUPER FUN

"A great way to start"

wtcasper (Westminster, CO)

When you're starting from scratch, Bachmann's Rail Chief is a great way to go. The GP 40 included in this ready-to-run set is one of the best performing HO locomotives I have ever owned. The set includes everything you will need to start enjoying this fantastic model railroading hobby.

"Good starter kit"

jeremy.s.michels1

This is a good beginner kit for someone just wanting to get into the hobby. The kit comes with Bachmanns E-Z track which is only really compatible with said E-Z track. It does allow for the track to be set up for a short period of time and then put away for someone who cant keep a permanent layout. The set is DC, so any extra engines you get need to also be DC.
