Is This $59 Santa Express Train Set From WalMart Any Good?

The Santa Express train set from EZTEC, which I found at my local WalMart store, is a bargain at just $59... but is it any good? In this model train video, I show you exactly what’s included with this toy train set: a locomotive, a tender, a gift car, a snowman car, an ice skating car, a caboose, a light-up train station, 20 pieces of track, and 14 signs. To compare the size of the locomotive to the gold standard of model trains, G scale, I put this locomotive next to a G-scale Thomas The Tank Engine locomotive... and this inexpensive locomotive is actually longer! Overall, I rate this train set as a good value since it does sell for just $58 and actually does have some clever design features. Obviously, it is nowhere near the quality of a G scale model train set, but then again it sells for hundreds of dollars less.
