Nifeliz CN5700 Steam Train Building Kit and Engineering Toy, Collectible Steam Locomotive Display Set, 1：38 Scale Model Train Building Kit with Train Tracks, Top Present for Train Lovers (1136 PCS)

Initial thoughts were that I was impressed. Numbered bags, little trays to put parts in, great instructions. Unfortunately, I can't even complete step 1 due to a missing part. I tried to contact support, but their site was down for maintenance. I guess I'll try again later. I'll see if I've got a spare part in my giant bin of legos. Will update review if this is resolved. Update 1: I found a substitute piece in my lego bin that I needed (was missing one of the 1x16 stud technic bricks). After that, I spent approximately 6 hours building the train. Outside of that 1 missing piece, I had everything else! It went together just like lego! One nitpick, the tubes spin and slide in the clips, which usually also happens with lego from my own experience. I'll be buying some 1/8" aluminium rods to replace them, as I've done that in the past and they're perfect. Still waiting for the site to come out of maintenance mode.

This is a craftsman-quality kit. It does require some minimal pre-study of the instruction manual, but the manual is very well done. My kit had no missing pieces, and all the pieces fit well and accurately. For me, this was one of the best hobby projects that I enjoyed through the complete build. Before building, I separated all the pieces and parts into separate bags by color, making the building process much more straightforward.

Well with this I’ve the 3 train models from NiFeliz, this in particular (CN5700) it was a lot fun to build so many little parts for a small engine, of course at the end a few (7) parts were missing, I use my Lego overstock… also the track is very simple for this, I was expecting some tracks like BigBoy… well if they (NiFeliz) came with another train, I’ll get it…

This is a fantastic set, the value is really worth it. It is a bit more on the difficult side to build. There are lots of liberties taken with some free floating pieces that make life frustrating. Also, the instructions are laid out confusing in a few spots. Overall, this set looks fantastic, is a great time to build, and a decent challenge for normal Lego builders. The creator of this set should be proud, and their set designers should get a raise. My main complaint is quality control, some pieces are just a hair smaller than they should be and it results in a loose fit. I used plastic glue to solve this, but I know many people frown on using glue with building blocks. TLDR: good set, difficult, and looks great!

Complicated to build but great when completed. 30” inches long so you have to have the right place for display. At 74, I had never built a lego style block build. It took me longer than it would take others as I have Parkinson’s so had frequent problems and had to stop working on it. Fun project though. Only a couple of missing pieces that were easy to get from other sources.

This is a great build. Looks mostly accurate. Can be very easily made to free roll on the tracks and be pushed by a powered boxcar or something. The front guide wheels are completely wrong but with minor adjustments, glue and the correct wheels, it follows curves. The center bogie on the tender is a no go on corners period. Either remove the center bogie completely or do as I did and make 2 3 axle bogies. Also, there's no chance of motorizing the loco or tender without MAJOR mods and redesign. But if you remove the drive wheel gears entirely it rolls really smooth. Either push it with a motorized freight car or go double header with another motorized loco. Happy legoing

The instructions are difficult to follow because the illustrations are not clear. I haven’t got to the locomotive yet and already there are missing parts which will cause me to email the company with photos, etc so I can go on with the build.

Super great kits with awesome easy to read and understand instructions. We will definitely be buying more of your kits they are awesome and a great value too.

Nifeliz Steam train. This was a very good quality build, the parts fit together well and the instruction were pretty easy to follow. It looks amazing and goes well with other trains sets I have built. Look forward to another Nifeliz build.

Bien mais pas autant que lego

This was worth the money but missing one piece for it

It's not as well done as another famous brand where you assemble things piece by piece. I had to tweak a few pieces so they would fit properly but overall I'm happy with the product.
