 Awesome train?Nov 04, 2006
By Stephen Pizzo
My son is too old for the Brio/Thomas trains although at one time they consumed his every waking moment. He is not quite ready (nor am I) for the various scaled electic trains. He has always been a Lego fan so when he saw this he jumped. The train itself is really well designed with nearly perfect instructions. It is reminiscent of the hi-speed trains (TGV) in Europe. The track goes together easily and precisely. It seems to be durable enough to handle many assembly cycles. The neatest aspect of the system is the IR control. The train is powered locally, not from energized track. The speed and direction are controlled via an infrared controller. The trains maximum speed seems well matched with the curvature of the track so my son was able to run full speed through the turns without derailing. Top speed is really fast!
My only negative comment is that it came with just enough track to build an oval. I would been happy to spend a little more money and receive enough track to be creative. We had to wait a week for the track expansion kit to arrive.
Great train, great service.

 Lego City TrainJan 16, 2007
By The Meier Family

Another great LEGO toy. We bought this set to go with the Lego City Train Deluxe Set we had purchased earlier in 2006. The only draw back is the amount of tracks included with the city train starter set. It is only enough to create an oval. I recommend buying additional tracks to increase the joy of playing with this wonderful toy.

Awesome!!Jan 09, 2007
By M. Rottkamp
This was my 5 1/2-year-old's most favorite gift this Christmas. He plays with it every single day. At first he didn't think he could build it himself but the way the step-by-step drawings were printed and the way each of the train car pieces were separately packaged really made it easy for him. We thought he would build it once and that would be it but now that he's got the hang of it, he likes to break it apart, put other lego people in the coach and try other ideas. The different speeds are fun, too. It's amazing how well the train stays on the tracks even at the highest speed which really whips it around. My Thomas the Tank Engine fan is really having a terrific time with this toy. PS - He's had the primos and the duplos but this is his first set of big kid "little legos" and he's thrilled.

 Trouble with Lego TrainJun 16, 2009
By M. Rymer
We purchased this train as a birthday present for our daughter, and it was great fun for a while; a short while. We experienced technical difficulties after having the train for only 2 short months and the train stopped working. The good news is that the folks at LEGO were very responsive and promptly sent out replacement parts to resolve our issues. They reported having a lot of problems with this model. It took two calls to customer service and about three weeks to get everything through the mail (in 2 separate shipments). Our train is now working again. Thanks LEGO.

Excellent trainJan 08, 2009
By Brian A. Jacobs
An excellent set! This may be my favorite LEGO set I've ever owned. The train runs very well on the track, smoothly and quickly with 7 speeds forward and 7 in reverse. Top speed is quite fast--fast enough with completely fresh batteries to crash the train, but the construction is very durable, and you're not going to break it with a little mishap. My living room carpet is a perfect base for the track, so unless you have serious shag, you're not going to need to set up a special play area.
The train has seating for 11 minifigure passengers and the engineer (an engineer and 2 passengers come with the set). The roofs of the cars come off easily to get figures in and out while fitting snuggly enough not to fall off during use. There is enough track for a small oval (about 28 x 39 inches). You would need to buy more track to get the train to run under most Christmas trees.
I gave it 4 stars instead of five because the cowling on the locomotives doesn't fit very flush to the train body at all. It kind of bugs me when I'm looking at it, but once we start playing, it's quickly forgotten.
