10-504-1 Pocket Line Electric Freight Train Pack

If you are looking to get into N Scale model railways but don't have loads to spend then this little set is great if you can live with the appearance. The loco and wagons are both basic but finely detailed/moulded but wont fall to pieces in your hands like many of the more expensive models; the pantograph is a miniature work of art. I was looking for a low-cost re-entry into the hobby and already have an oval of track and a power controller so the only element missing was some stock to run. I purchased this whilst on offer and also used a voucher which meant I paid £26 for this set but even at the higher price (£49 at time of review) I think it represents good value. The tiny loco runs smoothly straight out of the box and after a brief period of 'running in' it now creeps along the can motor offering fine control and almost silent running. I would definitely recommend this small set for a fun introduction or re-introduction to N Scale or even as a budget addition to an existing collection. Top marks to Kato proving that Pocket Money priced model railways can be good runners!
