“Overall, this is a great set for collectors of old models and steam engines fans, or both. It does not sport a huge variety of bricks, but was a good choice at the time, and even if the result is matter-of-fact a bit blocky when compared to the original, it implements some... More good solutions to minimise the LEGO brick appearance and maximise the similarity as much as possible.”
