Interesting and a really good practice for tech school students. So far the biggest trains i've seen made by technical school students were the ride on size. This is a bit larger and they tried to copy all sorts of technologies, like the bolsterless bogies on the front car. Considering everything was built with hand tools by kids, this is a pretty good train. (less of a practical one, more of a technology demonstrator kind)
