### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, well built train.
*by C***E on 27 January 2021*

Would give 5 stars except I was disappointed that the first Lemax train we bought three yeas ago just wouldn't work when we set it up this year. It ran perfectly for the two previous Christmases. However we put it down to bad luck and bought another one because it's by far the best Christmas train available.
