Poor value

#17 of 17 Disney sets with 1,000+ pieces

Disney Train and Station scores 22, poor value among 17 Disney sets with 1,000+ pieces. Its strongest point is builder rating, better than 62% of them, and its weakest is plastic per dollar (9%).

Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
