The Worst Quality Train Set Ever? | Mehano Western Train Set | Unboxing & Review

I love how the "Western" train set has 1 piece of American rolling stock, and it is in Penn Central paint.

"The worst quality train set ever" Christmas trains at garden centres: Am I a joke to you?

>Western Train >Only has one car from an American Railroad >Said Railroad didn’t exist till the 1960s, was an east coast railroad, and likely didn’t haul ore. I know I’m nitpicking, but I gotta defend my ‘Murican trains.

If you think this is bad, you need to check out the "Christmas Train Sets" Garden centers sell, vastly overpriced tat that wouldn't even pass the quality in Pound Land.

I would have loved this when I was a kid. My family never had much money and couldn’t afford any of the Hornby models that were too expensive, but this would have kept me busy for so long and for the price this is something my parents could have afforded. I get it’s not for the serious modellers

They failed terribly at making a “Western” train set. Being an American I know exactly what a “Western” train should look like. A 4-4-0 or a 2-6-0 in bright colors with a Russian iron boiler and 30ft boxcars or passenger cars.

As a kid I remember seeing this train set being advertised every single Christmas season in Romania. The price at the time was 200 romanian lions (£40). I remember asking my parents if they could ask Santa to bring me one, instead I've received a DB narrow gauge G scale train set with a radio controller and it was a lot better.

The things you were calling 'Teepees' are actually totem poles. The teepees were those cone shaped things.

PC stands for Penn Central, it was a 1970s american railroad, so very inaccurate for a steam era set.

It reminds me of old Italian Spaghetti Western movies that are supposed to take place in the Wild West but were filmed in Europe. The trains in those films always gives away the fact its not really American.

Penn Central: I exist! Bankruptcy: I'm about to end this railroad's whole career.

Looks spot on for the train in the Spaghetti Western, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," by Sergio Leone (one of the most iconic, and excellent, Westerns ever filmed). To save money, the film was shot in Italy, and a key scene with a Western American train was exactly the above.

“Let’s go at 50% speed then” Takes off like a jet launching into the sky😂😂

This set is certainly for kids. Good starter set for them I think.

I cant believe I'm saying this, but THIS train looks more steampunk then the Hornby steampunk range 0_o someone get some cogs and gears on it, stat!

Sam, you should try and find the same 0-4-0 locomotive and those cars from the Yugoslavia time (prior to mid 90s). Mehanotehnika produced really nice and teliable locomotives, but the economy crisis and the breakup of the coutry led to cutting corners. That locomotive used to have a lead weight in its boiler - the cheaper new version you have there has some kind of an aluminium alloy for the weight, which is much lighter. The cars also used to have metal plate weights - now they have none. All this contributed to better stability, pulling power and contact with the rails. The new version is simply lighter and "plasticy". I have an older rendition of a train set with identical models, but from the time it was built with more quality. Since you too like Mehano's trains, if you need any info/stories on Mehano's trains, contact me any time.

Mehano clearly don't know what American steamers look like that loco looks nothing like anything here in the states

"The cheap and nasty dial has been turned up on this" Pure gold Sam.
