I picked up this choice set today thinking what a blast this will be to expand my model railroad. The first thing I noticed when I slid the inner tray out from the outer sleeve was the instructions where printed on the box. I guess that is pretty cool.

Not that you need much in the way of how to build this set. The set comes with two wagons, which I am thinking is so that you can build your own rolling stock.

I would love to see LEGO come out with some passenger cars to go with my ever expanding railroad. Even though the cars in this set are very simple in design they give you what you need to keep imagining new things to pull behind you train.

I was bummed out to find that my floor pieces for the wagons where a grey color and not white as pictured on the box. Not a big deal, I was just hoping to add some new colors to my 111 set. I hope my old lady did not trash my set box, I think the cars where pictured white on it too. What gives with this guys at Samsonite, I’m starting to feel a little shafted.

Overall this set is copacetic, a great place to start if you are planning a large rolling stock inventory.
