It was very easy to put together, but: The steam sound is very artificial and the whistle is simply horrible. The only way to make the sound a little better is to place the speaker into a cardboard tube of at least 40 cm length. The adjustment potentiometers are only effective on a very small width, otherwise the sound will sound like just noise. A digitized sound would have been much better, and there should be a natural variation in the presence of the sound, now it is the same all the time. It was possibly a good idea, but it failed to deliver an authentic believable steam engine sound.

I am a retired quality control at GB circuits, the only thing letting the kit down is the quality of the circuit board, even with a temp controlled iron some of the tracks are very flimsy and tend to lift causing a open circuit, after repairing the circuit's the kit is not bad at all, so overall pleased, ps just take extra care when soldering

IT TAKES TIME TO SOLDER TOGETHER BUT IT REALLY DOES SOUND LIKE A STEAM ENGINE, WITH ALL THE HISSING AND POWER UP. IT IS A SHAME THE WHISTLE SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON BUZZER.
