1st; I would like to state that this is a “small” train like many you might buy with a Christmas theme. I loved the ease of assembly and the look of the train is very attractive. Very sturdy for kids or Grandkids to play with. If you buy more kits they can attach to each other.
I wish that Lego would make “small” track for these “small” trains. I would recommend this kit to others. Very nice look!
Great job Lego!!!

This is my first purchase from Lego, and honestly I feel cheated. The box packaging misrepresents the product, shows the product on train tracks, Lego sells track and trains, and yet this product is not compatible with Lego track and there is no indication that this is the case. Hugely disapponited -- in future I'll stick with knock-off products, cheaper and better representation of the product. Product misrepresentation is illegal in Canada, and this misrepresentation may respresnt a violation of the Competition Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-34).

When I first heard about this set, I was quite excited to see the LEGO® Company releasing a mini train set that isn't a gift-with-purchase product! I bought a couple copies of this set in mid-June, and I'm very impressed with the results.

The detailing is phenomenal for the simplicity of this HST, from the white ingot doors, to the smoothly-shaped nose of the locomotive! The pantographs add a lot of charm as well.

I like that this set doesn't come as the complete train, so that way people on a budget can buy the two-car set alone. That said, the train with four units of consist looks fantastic! It's rather long, and displays well on my dresser.

Though it would have been nice to have osculating trucks, the lack of this implementation makes the train easier to handle during play and display. However, if this set should retire and re-release, I would definitely like to see swiveling bogies!

Overall, this set makes for an awesome collectable, and a great addition to the LEGO® Creator line, and I hope to see more train sets done to this scale in the near future! 🎩👌🏻 ~ Joseph cheeseinthepie

Bought this in store for transport enthusiast 6 year old. He managed to build this pretty much on his own, it’s a really easy set to build for any younger Lego fan who’s used to Lego. A newbie to Lego may struggle. Instructions include about 90 steps; and took us maybe 40 mins to build, Instructions are easy to do, and it’s not hugely detailed (so easy to rebuild once it gets broken down!) I don’t think this will work on Lego track, but is easy to play with on floor etc. the roof doesn’t come of, and no seat within, but easy to customise this if you want to. It is a relatively basic model, but much better for a child than the other train sets Lego do which are significantly more expensive.

My biggest issue with this, is it doesn’t come with any mini figs! Whilst they aren’t advertised as coming with the toy, I think anyone who buys Lego frequently would expect mini figs, either a train driver or a passenger. Slight shame, but we have lots at home!
