Product Information

When loaded, the cars pose a height hazard and will challenge train layouts that include bridges and tunnels. agreed. This review is nothing but captions of pictures, with very little analysis or critical thought provided. Comparisons to real world trains, discussion of building techniques, anything? "

Then just ignore it. Easy solution. Some people find it to be a useful metric - I don't care about the horsepower of a car that I buy, but I understand why some people care, and I'm glad that number is reported for those who want to take it into consideration. At the same public display I had many trains operating using the former IR Power Functions running all day without fault. I am not a great fan of the Powered Up system. I had this train set up at a recent public display and was unable to pair up the hub with the controller. This could be due to spurious Bluetooth signals that occur whenever there are lots of people, with lots of smartphones nearby. Features and functions - Train and sound effects can be operated via the included remote control, or a smart device equipped with the LEGO Powered Up app

Summary

Toy building set for ages 7+ – This LEGO® City playset comes with easy-to-follow building instructions for each model The open wagon makes very effective use of those 4x6 hinge plates from the Vidiyo theme, and the car carrier (like this year's passenger train) does a great job showcasing how useful that new-ish 6x16x2 2/3 chassis piece can be for train models. I'm also impressed with how unique the container wagon assembly is compared to usual City train cars, which are generally built on one large plate or some other dedicated chassis piece.

Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error Given that there has been a discussion on the prices of LEGO sets, I have taken a look at City themed Cargo and Freight trains over the last twelve years. There are two Dark Orange containers. This is the first instance of the Wall 1x6x5 part in this colour. Regarding this set, I am very disappointed with the automobile transport car. It's way too high, specifically higher than the pantographs on the locomotive, which makes absolutely no sense. Something like that should have been noticed early in concept design. There is also no logical way for the bottom car on the transport to get out—the focus is all on the top platform, so maybe the entire thing should have been designed to be single-story. Agift for all occasions – This LEGO® City toy train set can be given as a birthday, holiday or any-other-day gift for kids and train enthusiasts aged 7 and upI can make my own judgement about the locomotive for instance, but I'd be curious to know what a real train enthusiast thinks of it. Does it mirror anything in the real world? Does the colour scheme and shaping look good from a train perspective? Etc. However, I would have certainly appreciated more opinions throughout this review. Bar a couple of sentences here and there, the majority of this review reads like a description of the images. It's handy having the recolours pointed out, but what about the design of the train? Features and functions – Train and sound effects can be operated via the included remote control, or a smart device equipped with the LEGO® Powered Up app

Regarding part size, I have to imagine that the *average* size of a parts in each set is roughly the same across the board. I'm fine with larger parts being undervalued and smaller parts being overvalued. It's an approximation that some people find useful - which is very much the approach engineers take in the real world. I'm referring to design engineers, but quite possibly also train engineers ;)

I did have the 60337 Express Passenger Train, that uses the Powered Up system, operating without any issues. So I am unsure why I couldn't get the 60336 Freight Train to run. Another price per part analysis. Meaningless to me. You look at the set and immediately think of its value. Price per part is pseudo science as all parts are different. When you buy a real car do you divide the price by how many parts are in it? No, you look at features, quality, design, etc. And how can you possibly give the same value to a 1x1 plate and a Power Up hub? Can we stop the insanity???" Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.
