The Monorail train is nicely and accurately painted though not smooth in some areas. The base is cast and painted to look like hardwood but small paint wear at the corners showed through to white. The attraction posters are the most disappointing aspect of this model. They are quite muddy and blurry and appear to have been produced by a low resolution ink jet printer. Certainly today's printing technology is capable of generating a much more vivid and sharper image. Moreover, they were weakly adhered to the columns and peeling away. The lighting is very strong almost to the point of overwhelming the model when lit. For fans of the Monorail (like me) I would consider this an optional addition to your collection best enjoyed from a distance.

I just received this item and was not disappointed. It is a great model of the Disneyland Monorail. The light-up effect is a neat feature. It's a great piece to start off a Disney's miniatures collection.
