does the train sounds and music play as you turn it on?

Nice set but the instruction book is horrible I’ve already had trouble on step 2 because of it Plus the scenery on the big paper came all crumbled up and once I had asked for a new paper i was sent a file to print it out myself My printer is not even working It would’ve been nice if the paper and box were more carefully packed Especially at that price

Slow down the image/motor then it will be 🎯

accidentally detached the black wire from the motor is there any way to fix that?

I'm nearly to end this one but I can't connect the USB jack into the female socket! Is there any hint?

I love this and the vibe ❤

Very nice

You worked hard!

Says 1940s to me, it's more 60s or 70s right up to the mid 80s we had those in the UK. Hell, the last one I remember was on the Weymouth and Holyhead trains we had a MK1 first corridor with 8 compartments just like that. Soon disappeared though. I'd have one in modern colours with beer cans and sports bags in there.

You are cheaters - after 3 weeks I still did not receive my ordered set and tracking number is dead for over a week. This whole beautiful commercial is nothing but a big fat lie to steal money from people!!!😡

This video is helpful, but at the same time laughable because of the apparent ease of assembling the parts. No doubt due to the stop motion filming technique. I am currently assembling this in the PNW so perhaps in a xeric environment like Arizona the parts would slide together as shown in the video. However, here the fit is very tight. So here are some of my assembly notes to date: 1. Step #3: watch out for part #27. There are actually 2 shapes with this number and the difference is subtle. Make sure you have the correct shape in the correct slot before you press them home. It's a tight fit and if you get it wrong it's difficult to remove them. 2. Step #17: Attaching the rubber band to part #37. The slot where the rubber band is attached is very tiny and fragile. Be sure to stretch out the rubber band until it is thin to get it in the slot. I broke this part and am waiting for a replacement. 3. Steps # 23 and 24: The wired connections to the motor are very hinky. I was being very careful with the motor but nonetheless one of wired connections broke off. There was only one strand of the wire soldered to the motor. I am waiting on a replacement for the motor. 4. Steps #50 - 54: Knowing what I know now I would have attached part #s 149 and 48 as shown in steps #57 -59 to the crankshaft before doing the assembly shown in steps #50 -54. Also, the 2 shapes that comprise part # 149 need extensive sanding with an emery board to reduce their size before part #48 will fit over them. And there's SIX of them! 5. Step #35 on page 11: There are 2 different parts labeled #81. The tan colored bar is actually part #10. 6. The part replacement request on the website: It has 3 areas to upload photos to. 2 are for missing parts and 1 is for replacement parts. I was only requesting (so far) replacement parts but it wouldn't allow me to submit the request until I uploaded photos to the missing part sections. Finally I wrote on a piece of paper that I had no missing parts, took a photo of that and uploaded it. Success! To be continued...

Did your pack come with clear stickers? I’m trying to find what I use them for

I'm having difficulty attaching the rubber band to the wood. I tried the superglue gel. Any suggestions?

Yes it looks absolutely amazing, but the quality of the set is abysmal. There are pieces missing, images misprinted holes missing due to miscuts. I can't get over the fact that this set is so very expensive and yet so poorly produced. And they keep refering me to their replacement service - an online form that is impossible to fill out because it consists of about a zillion required text fields with no description whatsoever. I feel betrayed and wasted my money on this. Sorry for speaking out the truth.

This is helpful since the booklet that comes with the Book Nook has errors where the numbers of the parts you need aren't shown.

I don't understand the purpose of the motor driven interior detail scroll. In the video, it appears that the people in the building are whizzing by on an express train! That interior detail should be static, not moving, yes?

Oh...its a hundred bucks? I just made a beautiful library nook and it was only 31$ but then again it isn't motorized either so......

I love building miniature and i have been looking everywhere for a train themed one for my son who loves trains! Thank you thank you thank you!

Very impressive! What is the name of the mechanism that makes the background move? I want to adapt it for the background of theatre show

What's the tune? Someone bought one for my birthday. I don't know the tune.

Very nice! If I bought it, I would add (DIY) accessories, such as: extra stand alone books, maybe a table and chair, documents, maps, potted plants, small sculptures, candle sticks, etc. because it looks a bit stark. I love that it is made of wood and not that high density cardboard c**p.

It's a kit that's of great quality. Every little part is detailed I'm amazed 🌹

Love it🥹

Where can i buy this?

omg so beautifullllll

Looks good but is it the same as the last one we bought with pieces missing parts not fitting and mismatched numbers??

Could be relaxing, if the engine wasn't so noisy

Glue ? 🙈

Mine arrived yesterday. I can’t wait until my day off tomorrow to start this build. I’ve done 4 book books so far, but this one with be the crown jewel.

Wow, that’s amazing

An incredibly complex thing to design and manufacture, only the Japanese seem to have this attention to the tiniest of details. Amazing stuff.

This channel needs to blow up. So cool O .o

So whimsical :3 Just makes you want to hop in snd see where the lil train cart is going. Subscribed.

Nice kit, but the motor is kind of loud!

So beautiful. I love it! Thank you for sharing.

I love this, can I ask how much is the kit?? Where can I get one??

Absolutely beautiful. Nice that you don't need glue. Just a great shame about the price, way too high for something DIY. 👍🇬🇧

So beautiful ❤❤

Yay First One to Like! Ordered the 1940's Train Cabin Today! I have dreamed of putting it together and how it will look on my bookshelf for a year! 🎉🎉🎉❤

I want todo this now, but I’ve just started contstructing ‘book nooks’ and I’m hooked and I know I need to improve greatly before I attempt this dream …

Thank you very much relaxing🎶✨🎶❤️

The light string included did not seem to match the pictures in the instructions, mine had inline bead type lights, instead of the LEDs that you show. Some wiring between lamp locations had to be taped or routed so the next bulb would be in the right location, so I don't know if everything is right with that

Too bad the moving scene couldn't be made of transparent plastic sheet instead of paper. Some of the layers of wood also separate easily, and if you don't trim the fabric pieces out of their sheets, they tear easily if you pull on them. The adhesive used on the fabric and metal foil pieces is not very strong and everything needs glue to hold them in place. The instructions do not give sheet locations or their color, except for the metal foil sheets. The insructions need revision, even the online version

Wish everything was as easy as you show, but I had a lot of concerns with my build, and some of the materials could have been better quality, especially for $199.95 without discounts. It runs very noisy, plus the first 2 lights in my string didn't work. I was kind of disappointed overall. Sorry!

I am halfway through this kit...thanks for sharing.

Ordered this week's ago and hasn't yet been sent. The tracking number provided doesn't match anything in postal tracking system. Getting very concerned...

Fantastic, I love it! I want one to make myself.

I'm putting this kit together right now. I can confirm that there are at least three wood parts missing on the trays. Which is disappointing since the kit is very cool. The three missing parts are all for the two seats. I can improvise using cardboard - or unused sections of the wood parts trays. But it drove me nuts until I did a full inventory of all the trays and discovered that the parts were never etched into the trays. For a kit this expensive - that's pretty shitty.

It looks super cute. I think you did an amazing job fixing what should have worked .
