Found this a week ago:
https://www.amazon.com/COLORTREE-Battery...071ZH9J5X/

Decided to see what quality I'd get in a full set that's only $10.
Received it today and what follows is my opinion of it.

Plastic quality is lower than Tomy but not terrible.

Powered end car takes 2 AA batteries and has decent pulling power. It is not particularly fast. Does not free wheel.
Couplers are a bit odd. Both end cars have a loop coupler and one middle car has two hook couplers.
The one middle car loop coupler has a hook coupler style up-down mount so it could possibly be useful for a custom.

The suspension bridge also takes 2 AA batteries.
It has a button in the middle which when depressed by a train, activates flashing lights and a cheering sound.
I managed to break off one of the split snap pegs of the red top-middle part of the bridge when assembling.

Station is okay but rather plain with no decoration whatsoever.

Track is a color match for Tomy but shinier. Same goes for the risers.
The risers I tried are a VERY firm fit with each other and do not want to come apart again.

In conclusion I think its worth the price just don't expect Tomy/Trackmaster quality.
