Assembly directions were fairly straight forward, DEFINITELY advanced for even a ten year old. All screws were self tapping so a fair amount of hand strength was necessary to get everything properly tight so it could work and there were multiple parts where wires could easily be crimped/pinched while putting pieces together. Because of the gearing, if things were loose it would not work correctly. Only defect was the wire harness coming out of the motor had been improperly assembled, came crimped and nearly broke the wire because it had been tightened down by the factory. Had to carefully open assembly, reroute wire, and reassemble. Worked fine afterwards. Obviously this is a plastic model of a steam engine that does not actually work like a real steam engine, so if the child is interested in a more technical model (metal, castings, actual steam running the pistons) then it probably won't satisfy. If instead you have a grade schooler who finds trains cool and likes the idea of assembling things (with dad's help), then it will probably be a win. Castings were satisfactory for the price, sprues were easy to deal with (once again, because of some tight tolerances, any rough edges needed to be removed so sharp knives necessary). Colors were colorful, decals simplistic but well within the skills of a grade schooler to affix. For the toy it is, it is fun if your child is mechanically minded, likes trains, and likes seeing how things work.

Update: After purchasing this for my son 1 1/2 years ago I mistakenly broke the lever that turns the wheels on. This was very upsetting as my son who still turns it on from time to time to watch it work. I reached out via email to the company Playz to request the replacement part. My email was responded to quickly by Nick in their customer support. He was very nice and helpful. After providing my order number and mailing address they sent me a whole new train via 2 day shipping! Their customer support was excellent and they worked very quickly to resolve the issue. I highly recommend this company for quality of their toys and customer service. I assembled the toy with my 9 year old son. The box is marked 10+ for age but we have worked together before to assemble these type of products and have never had any issues.. The product has good step by step directions but can take some time to complete. Most of the product parts fit together well and you can tell they are of good quality. That said there are sections that connect the wheels that are made of flimsy plastic and can be difficult to push through its corresponding slot. Overall it is a good toy and I do recommend it but make sure you have time to put it together.

Great idea but wires came off and other critical pieces making the entire project impossible. Very fragile pieces and delicate assembly procesd. We will attempt to return it and get another one and hope for the best. My 12 year spent hours enjoying this project only to find his efforts did not result in a working train. Update: we received a free replacement and my son loves it. It is very fragile so he broke a piece that connects the wheels and duct taped it back together. I am upgrading my review to a four star and holding back one star only because it is so fragile and it's fragility can easily ruin the project.

While assembling this on Christmas day with my son, it was very hard to assemble the plastic chrome pins and one broke during the assembly. There are no extra pins included so now he can't use it.

My 6yo son loves to build and he loves trains. He loves learning how things work especially steam trains. This gift was very educational and fun bonding time for us together. Took about a day and a half. He was so excited to see real steam come out.

I ordered this for my son for Christmas and he loved it when he saw the box. However, shortly after we started assembly he became disappointed. There were a couple gears missing among other pieces, but no way to finish assembly without those important pieces. I reached out to the seller and received a generic auto response with no additional contact information, so I'm very disappointed with the lack of communication or resolution with this. I would not recommend this product or company. Will update if they contact me. EDIT: The seller did reach out, offered to send a replacement at no cost, but after a little while they stopped replying and do not communicate anymore. Buy from a different company IMO.

Nice kit but requires adult supervision unless 14 yrs or older with a great deal of mechanical ability. The worst thing is that the main lever used to activate the engine is made of very thin plastic. I bought two of these kits for my grandsons. The fist broke on first use, and the second after about the third time, even being very careful. The company had to know it would break first thing, but they didn’t fix it and sold as is! I was able to repair it by disassembling and wrapping the lever with a paper napkin and filling with super glue. See picts.
