Quality

This is a easy to assemble well made train.

The video shows the product being unpacked.

The only issue i had is when the package arrived i found that the set was missing the power pack needed to make the train run.

My brother and i also ordered the "fastrack figure 8 add-on pack" so that my grandson could have a bigger track to run his trains on.

Competitiveness

There is also an application that can be downloaded to control this train, along with other, similar lionel trains.
