This metal model is comprised of hundreds of small parts. Much to delicate for me to build. I recommend watching a video on U Tube prior to purchase. I should have read the description more carefully.

Appears to be quality product but if you have a problem the company is non-responsive!

I dont know if i am just too new but the istructions are confusing as hell, in one picture a part goes from being parallel to a 90° angle

The piececool Mogul Locomotive Model Kit is a metal model of over 270 pieces.Pros: The model is exquisitely detailed and well engineered. The individual pieces are snipped from the metal sheets and formed into three-dimensional parts. The finished product is impressive looking.Cons: This is a very difficult assembly. The parts are very tiny and difficult to both see and to manipulate. Admittedly, I’m in my mid-seventies with less than perfect eye-sight and dexterity. None the less, I’ve completed a number of complicated models and this one was probably the most difficult. The package claims a difficulty level of 3 out of 7. I’d have to rate this a 7. On the other hand, and contrary to some other reviews, it is doable, but plan on a lot more than the 8 hours suggested in the product description

Had to glue a few pieces. Over all nice build but should come with gloves.

This will look great when finished. Parts are small,tabs are small and hard to see even with a magnifying lamp. Will not buy an other model of the type!

I have on numerous occasions emailed this company to inquire about replacement parts and have yet to hear back. This is not good company customer service. I will not make any purchases from Piececool again. I have done well with Metal Earth with quick and friendly responce and parts.

This is the first assembly kit I have ever given up on. As an older guy, I found this kit so frustrating and difficult to see what I was working on. The very tiny pieces are made out of very thin metal. Just attempting to remove a piece from its frame could cause it or adjacent pieces to bend. It was often hard to bend the little tabs to hold them in place without affecting the metal pieces.The tabs on the pieces are very short and the holes they go into are almost invisible. Attempting to align a bunch of tiny tabs with almost invisible holes was excruciating. I had two sets of magnifying glasses which helped a bit but often I had one or more tabs out of position and it was extremely difficult to determine which way to reposition them to get them into the associated holes. That was so fatiguing for my eyes. I could only work for short periods with breaks in between.I was only able to assemble the cab portion of the locomotive before the whole kit became not fun anymore to me. The cab portion took me at least four hours to assemble. It was frustrating and painfully slow. In particular there were two windows with upper and lower pieces that were impossible to get them to remain in place. I would get one in place then bump it and it would fall off. Bending the tabs in alternate ways didn’t seem to help. Eventually the tabs began to break off due to metal fatigue. There were no hints in the instructions about the best way to attach them. The drawings are also quite small and hard to see the proper positioning of the pieces.If you have younger eyes with strong close-distance vision, you might be able to build this kit. You MUST:- have very small and sharp clippers for cutting the traces that hold the pieces to the frames.- have a magnifying glass to see what the heck you are assembling- strong lighting- have at least two small but long needle nose pliers for holding and properly bending pieces.- have small hands to work with small pieces- have the patience of a god to not be frustrated during assembly. Come to think of it, gods have never been known for their patience.After building the cab, I looked forward at all of the steps I had to do to complete the kit. I hadn’t enjoyed what I had already done and the thought of many more pages of that was too much for me. I don’t like to quit, but I wanted to keep my eyesight.
