FUNWHOLETrain Lighting Building Bricks Set - Steampunk Ore Train LED Light Building Set 1056 Pieces for Adults and Teens

So I stumbled upon this set while looking at lighting kits for Lego sets and was delighted and then shocked by the low price. I thought it surely could not be as nice as the photos for that price. Took a chance and ordered it anyway.The box it came in is a very nice flap slot box that can be securely closed again, and the organization was a sort of half step between the Lego sets I got as a kid in the 90s and current (2022) style Lego packaging. The pieces are all in little sealed baggies with numbers to match each step, but in a more broad sense compared to the breakdown Lego currently uses. Rather than having 1 bag for step one, this set is broken into 3 main parts (train bottom, train top, and tender) so each part has multiple bags. Part one for example has all bags with (1) on them and each bag is generally sorted by part size. Biggest bricks in bag 1A and smallest in bag 1E. Separate bags for the lighting are also clearly numbered and used to sort components rather than match the current section of bags.The instruction manual is a nice bound paperback book, and I will say the colors on the printing job are a tad dark so definitely build in a well let room or download the digital instruction booklet where it’s much brighter. There is a business card to their website in the set where you can find it easily and for free.As for assembly, I would definitely say the detail in this set makes it more of an adult challenge so 17+ or so with experience recommended. The brick pieces are all solid and high quality injection mold style bricks just like Lego though perhaps a touch more flexible? It’s very minor, but the snap on some is slightly different and not as sharp. The only time I have had issues with bricks not staying connected though is where they have a wire running under the brick, and that’s just par for the course with adding something like lighting where the brick can no longer sit fully flush together.The lighting it’s self is also just beautifully done. Pictures just do not do it justice. I love how it looks and hiding the light box in the tender car is so clever! Wire placement in general is done really well as except for a few spots, they just blend into the model or are completely hidden.Now, I did have 3 pieces I was missing as I built the set but that just happens sometimes with brick kits and just like Lego, all you have to do is email them at their support email (there was an example email on their site for how to do it) and they will mail you your missing parts for free. From when I sent my email to when I got the missing parts was probably 5-7 business days total. Excellent customer service with prompt responses as well.Honestly just a great kit all around. I really enjoyed the challenge of building it and honestly can’t believe the quality for the price. I’m definitely considering getting the matching train station, and I might even load the bricks in this set into a brick set designing app to see if I can design a passenger car and a caboose to match!Excellent set. Highly recommend for an experienced brick builder looking for a fun challenge or even one looking to try lighted kits for the first time. 9/10 for the minor but easy to solve issues but definitely a 5/5 product.

This is a great set. It was designed to be lit by leds. The wires often pass through small gaps and holes to minimize pinch points. It looks really great sitting in the steampunk train station in a darkened room, all the leds blazing. The bricks are of excellent quality, they snap together and stay together. The plates are flat without warping. I put it together without the lights, then took it apart and reassembled it with the lights. The wires are fragile and care must be taken not to break them. It’s well worth the effort. I definitely recommend this set and the steampunk train station. Good customer service. I emailed Funwhole with a problem. They responded very quickly and took care of my problem.

My 15 yr old son has been a L*go builder nearly since birth. He has a whole wall of projets on display in his room. Over the years tho it has been hard to afford the sets to challenge him. I took a chance a few years ago on offbrand building sets and he was offended. Pieces were missing, bad instructions, blocks didn't all fit together well etc. etc.This Christmas, sorrowing again at the prices, I took another chance, but this time hit pay dirt. Not only were the instructions excellent, pieces all fit together, nothing was missing AND we got extra! There was a lighting kit included and it was a perfect challenge for my son to have to take extra steps to wire in the lights. He was entranced and enthralled. He was genuinely proud of his accomplishment. He did it in one day, cause he's at that level, and he loved it!Highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. First off, I have enjoyed building the Book Cafe building and the Antique Store. This train was not as much fun or relaxing, I got frustrated and put it down for a week.I will agree with other reviews, the design on some placement of pieces didn't work they would continue to fall off or wouldn't fit snug. I also agree the RED rod that holds the back two wheels is to short and the wheels kept falling off. I to, had put a little super glue on the one to hold it on. If you were turning the train upside down again to assemble the wheels the train would start to come apart, very frustrating as well as the rods that make the train wheels move. BUT! I found out it was my fault and assembled it wrong. SO be CAREFUL.The directions to me are easy to follow, the best part are the lights and wiring and how easy and thorough they are. Not thrilled with the battery pack in car behind the engine, it's hard to get your fingers in the compartment to turn the lights on and off. As for pieces missing, I didn't have any. I find if you put a wrong piece somewhere else you will be short when you need it in another place. I have taken sections apart because I used the wrong plug piece that needs to be used somewhere else!I just finished the train this weekend after walking away from it. I went back to wheel assembly and started again, turns out i had the wrong plugs connectors in. It held to together just fine. It's not a piece I would let kids touch or play with as it will come apart very easy.I like this companies bricks and detailed directions. Plus the value and price out weight LEGOS.

I purchased 2 of these for my grandsons ages 5 and 6. The six year old put most of it together himself with a little help from his father. The 5 year old needed more assistance but both fathers and sons loved putting it together and the boys now use it as a night light in their rooms. Highly recommend!!
