Well, you do have engines and fire engines outside shops kids can have a ride on, a sort of modern rocking horse idea.

It seems like a nice enough set nice colurs and bright design and I like the boys bodywarmer but, as others have said it does seem rather expensive for what you're getting  :)

At the local toy shop, I paid €24 (about US$32, I think) for this.  Is it worth it?  Yes, it is to me - I want it for a specific scene, and I also wanted the woman klicky's curly hair, plus another black child.

It does look as if it should have at least one extra carriage, though, so I do hope that these will become available separately.

I thought I would just put it together and then put it away until the time came to use it.  Not so.  When I discovered that the child klicky as well as the adult sits so securely in the seat, I had to whizz the train round and round the table forever, making sharp turns and crazy serpentines - oh what fun!  And if it is fun for me, then I imagine that a child would love this too.

I was wondering if the smoke stack is removable? We have a few old trains that need smoke stacks and this could be used after a black coat of paint.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
