Hello again and welcome back to It-Not-Lego! The Winner brand of bricks recently put out some new train sets and I decided to buy one to check the quality.
I grabbed a screen shot from Aliexpress where you can get these trains. There are seven trains in this collection, the smallest set being about 200 pieces and the largest set coming in at over 900 pieces.
My package included a sticker sheet and instruction manual.
There are six bags of parts.
After I finished building the streetcar, I had 14 extra pieces leftover.
In addition to the streetcar, this set includes a crossing gate and four Lego style minifigures, although their faces look a tad different. There's a young boy wearing overalls and a baseball cap, a musician, an older guy who might be the streetcar driver, and a lady tourist with satchel bag and camera.
I almost forgot to mention that you get 4 pieces of track too, 2 straight and 2 curve tracks in dark gray.
I think Winner did a pretty good job on the colour combination. The streetcar's red and white scheme is complimented nicely by the yellow accents. There's oversized lights at the front and back.
So the features of this streetcar include seating for 4 passengers plus standing room for the driver at the front of the car. There are doors on both sides that open. You can also flip up the roof but to properly seat the minifigures, I find that removing the side panel is easier.
My pet peeve with this streetcar is that the side panels and windows collapse easily if not handled gently. I found that the best way to pick this up is not by the middle but by the ends.
I didn't apply the stickers, but actually it looks pretty good without them.
Brand: Winner
Model Number: 5086 Cable Car
Number of pieces: 361
Number of minifigures: 4
I give it a 3 out of 5 for this set. 1 point deduction for being oversized and another point deduction for the fragile side panels. What do you think of the set and my rating? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for looking and see you next time.
