The Märklin 29247 is one of several "starter sets" which contain everything necessary to get going with model trains. These sets are meant to get you involved with an interesting hobby that you can share with others. The starter set is subsidized priced, which means that it is cheaper to buy the set rather than the individual components. The Märklin H0 system is a bit different than other H0-scale trains. That is, the tracks are "three-rail"; or, more accurately, "three conductor". The outside rails, which the trains roll on and a center contact segment which provides the operating current for the locomotive and cars. This approach simplifies train operation, and can be put to use later for train automation. The locomotive contains a "decoder", which contains a unique address for the locomotive along with other unique information. On board the locomotive is a sound decoder which produces realistic sounds of steam engines in operation. Likewise, realistic headlight operation is there, too. In general operation, you can have up to nine additional locomotives controlled with the handheld controller that is included in the set. The handheld also can control the track switches in this set with the addition of 74491 "Turnout Mechanism" and the 74461 Decoder" As mentioned earlier, additional circuit tracks can be combined with signals to allow for automated operation. In all, the Märklin system allows for interesting model train operation.Read full review

The train was very well packaged and easy to assemble. The instructions, while in many languages, are easy to follow, with clearly labeled details, such as the track numbers correlating to their placement. The Command module is easy to set up in a plug and play format, and with a few minutes to look through the instructions, it is easy to set up the train as well as configure the digital settings anyway you'd like. The instructions are very well laid out for the command module, with a picture of the referenced display, making it easy to troubleshoot and adjust any settings. Overall this starter set is very detailed and high quality. While it is expensive, you get a lot of value for what you buy.
