Doctor Who RR for Sensors

This is a must have for any Doctor Who fan, especially if you're also into the HO railroad! It was everyone's favorite Christmas present and holds pride of place on our train.

Pros
  • Lighting and Power
Cons
  • Little Stuff

Small Police Box

This is exactly as advertised. It came well packaged (from the UK which is why shipping takes so long). It's definitely a cheaper alternative if you want a tiny Tardis-style figure without paying $20 for it.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • So far so good

Frustrating - Electrical

Some but not all of the letters in the words POLICE BOX are swapped and reversed. The? Who printed this thing? Haven't given it to my son yet, don't know what to do with it as it will probably be a headache to bring back to England. The box itself is sturdy, but I don't like it with the inverted P and back to front.

Pros
  • Gauge Kits
Cons
  • Minor Problems

Just a little carelessness

Aside from being a little smaller than I thought, the only problem is that the POLICE BOX sticker was bent. It wasn't a big deal but if I'm paying for something to be imported from England it would be nice if there was a little more attention to detail. Sounds like I got lucky because of something else. Reviews. Aside from the stickers, the packaging is great. It is a good replacement for the more expensive Doctor Who licensed products.

Pros
  • Sensors
Cons
  • Good but not great
