Review: Better than Plastic - Grandson and I enjoyed the higher quality metal truck. Instructions are pictures only, I think this is all we get now. Some people prefer words-like me. He just turned 8 and was well able to put it together as I interpreted instructions.
Review: Possible Customization - Ah, the famous Flying Scotsman! It's a real piece of history and worthy of looking up, ... first locomotive to surpass 100 mph and such. This model is a very simplified example, sold as a STEM toy, but interesting to the adult modeler too, if you want to get more creative. As a toy, it's not a bad example of these bolt together metal kits ... especially for the price. Yes, some pieces won't fit quite right, the instructions will be vague in parts, and getting the bolts to line up with the nuts is a medium challenge ... so probably not for a child as their first metal kit. But for the more experienced kid or adult, it can be a fulfilling experience. I'm an older adult with previous modeling experience, mostly in wooden ships and planes. These erector-set type models are new to me, simple but fun. They almost beg to be modified with all those extra unbolted holes. So get goofy creative! I went with a "steampunk thing" using metal gears I bought and random brass and copper pieces I could find in junk drawers. The pointy brass in the front is from an old archery sight. There are two cut down shell casings, some plumbing connectors, brass picture hangers, etc. etc. I enjoyed the whole process. So as a simple metal toy or more ... thumbs up!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Possible Customization

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for 6 year-olds, but still
*by R***S on April 10, 2026*

Box says for ages 6+. That's impressively hopeful. My 8 year-old wanted a beer after finishing this. But, it's a nice model. The instructions are a series of pictures with no text, just "make yours look like theirs." A few of the pictures assumed too much, so beware. There are two parts you have to bend yourself--they give you a straight, rectangular sheet and just write "bend this" to make a curving, cylindrical shape. I'd try to bend it around a pole/pipe/chair leg/etc. to get it smooth and actually round. Lining up some of the holes for the bolts is a minor pain, especially if you have adult-sized hands. Overall it's a nice kit, but you'll probably grumble about it.
