Durable? well made diecast with thick paint
Entertaining? Yes, modellers like me an us it to add authenticity to the layout (era 4) The grandchildren can play with too.
Educational? Can be, an ideal explainer about the first attempt at multi-modal logistics. The train does the long haul, the last leg of the journey to door was by the 'mechanical horse'.
Tip: Serious modellers will need to weather it for realism, just tone down the shiny paint!
This model brings authenticity to my layout. Like many fellow modellers, I have vivid memories of these old vehicles. The model is excellent and looks great on my new loading bay!
