This is an exquisite set which is beautifully presented in a bookshelf style casing. The finish and running characteristics of the models are to the usual Kato high standards, and they are the perfect addition to their Rhätische Bahn (RhB) Series. I have been looking forward to this release, and it does not disappoint. I used the Train Trax Pre-Order facility for this purchase, and as always received first rate service from Ian and the team.
