The print was generally good, except for the top of the side doors which were broken or did not print properly. As the caboose and two gondolas were well packed, I doubt this happened in shipping. Also, the end doors printed perfectly, and they have a finer grill separating the window panes.
I can repair this, but this indicates poor quality control by 3Dp Train. You need to pay closer attention to products before sending them out.
The two gondolas appear to be perfect.
