Review on Kurt Adler North Pole Express Train with Musical C2064N Multicolor Design by Scott Goff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

family heirloom. suitable for home decor accents

Not sure if that helps but my whole extended family loves this train. When I was a kid, my grandma bought one of these trains and put it on the children's table. We loved watching the Tippy train go down the tracks at Christmas dinner. Even when I was in my early twenties, seeing the Tippy Train was a big thing for my cousins and sisters. It has become a family tradition and oddly enough this train has become a family heirloom. My grandmother is now in a nursing home (they don't help her, that's for communication). She asked the family if anyone needed items from their home. like 2 or 3 of the bastards here. I keep it on my fridge now. I like it. And a good topic of conversation. However, a new typical pull (this product) does not have the same quality as a 10-20 year old. The parts don't match either, the decals aren't quite right. I think the tools used to make them wear out over the years. So for people who don't look through rose-colored glasses like me, it will seem cheap. It hurts to say but it's true.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete
