I rated it low, because despite the newly redesigned version, and more simplified construction, the sample I got had a burned out motor. Upon disassembly, I learned that not only had the motor burned out, but it has gotten so hot at one point that it melted the plastic drive linkages that make the axles move. It appears, as I said earlier, despite the better design, to make the model comparable to Kato and Atlas models of the same type, the sub miniature motor is inadequate for running the heavier locomotive and pull the weight of the cars.
