I could not tell how it went back in until I took a picture to zoom in on and then saw the remaining lower tab had a hook on it and needed to be put in first then the top tab snaps in to secure it. You can’t notice the missing tab after reinstalling it fits flush. This was not a great start to my first KATO train set. The good is I love this train it is so beautifully detailed and so powerful. It has a very high low torque so I can creep it out of the station, also climbs a 2.2% grade without any slowing down at all and on the decline it hold speed very well. I only had a couple steam engines from 50 years ago and this is a whole new ball game with these KATO trains and track. Fast delivery, good quality and a good price what more could you ask for. Thanks! Review: I've been out of the hobby for about 35 years, but decided to get back in to it. But boy, a lot of things have changed during that time. Nonetheless, I decided to get this set as a jumping off point. When it arrived, I was impressed by the packaging - a nice little "book" to store everything in when not in use. A big step up from what most other trains are boxed in! Upon opening it up, I was stunned by how beautiful everything looked! The level of detail in something this small is amazing! These are true scale models and not toys! Once my track was set up, running this set was pure joy! I had no problems whatsoever. It ran smoothly and relatively quiet. Again, I was captivated by how great everything looked while rolling down the track. If this set is any indication, then one of the big improvements in the last 35 years is the level of precision and detail in the models now. I dont remember much from back then ( even in the larger scales) that would match the realism of this set. A lot of reviews rave about the quality of Kato trains and I can see why! They knocked this one out of the park!! ## Features - All car details fully installed for a ready-to-roll experience - Includes a locomotive with special "Silver Streak Zephyr" lettering and streamlined truck side skirts - Bookcase style set includes two extra spaces for additional locomotives - All-wheel electrical pickup on all cars allows easy installation of optional interior lights ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009PBVOIW | | Best Sellers Rank | #369,486 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #15 in Model Train Set Starter Packs | | Included Components | Locomotive, Six cars | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 101.6 x 1.9 x 3.8 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 680 g | | Item model number | 106-090 | | Manufacturer | Kato Trains | | Net Quantity | 6.0 Count | | Product Dimensions | 101.6 x 1.91 x 3.81 cm; 680.39 g | ## Images ![USA Model Train Products CB&Q EMD E5A Silver Streak Zephyr 6-Unit Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+sg-SVgvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 14 October 2024* I had a problem when I opened the case there was a door frame laying in the bottom of the case that had one tab broken off.

I bought a second one just in case it gets discontinued. An Amazing train. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kato USA Model Train Products CB&Q EMD E5A Silver Streak Zephyr 6-Unit Set - Kato USA, Inc.
