Wow. This is one of the coolest toys ever. As a train enthusiast, I thought it would be fun to give my Lego-crazed 7-year old son a train to add to his Lego collection. I had no idea it would be such a sophisticated, well-built, high quality, functional train set. When I think of the garbage train sets I've bought him over the years, that lasted all of a week or two, I can't believe it. Those cheap sets cost almost as much as this, were much harder to set up and use, and fell apart in no time.
I am sold on Lego. If the other Lego train sets are anything like this, the other manufacturers (Atlas, Walther, Lifelike, Tyco, etc) are going to have some sleepless nights. This set is just incredible, and will dominate the model train hobby very, very soon.
The upside for that hobby is that it will introduce model railroading to a new generation, even multiple generations, and perhaps lead to a renaissance of that fabulous hobby. It may save us from the plague of video gaming that has led to kids the size of Bison glued to their couches. You cannot go wrong with this set. As others have stated, they don't provide much track, and straight track is hard to come by and expensive. To resolve that, thanks to a YouTube video I found, I've built track out of wood that works beautifully. Dona search for "how to make Lego track" and you'll see how easy it is. We're now building a massive train layout in our backyard that should provide the kids much fun outside for years to come.

Amazing LEGO train set
This is a wonderful LEGO train set that will be a wonderful complement to any LEGO City. The set provides a good amount of playability and will be a great addition to any LEGO collection. This set comes with everything you need to complete a full track with a full battery-powered LEGO train. The passenger train is a worthy addition to your LEGO collection and will provide countless hours of enjoyment.If you're able to find another passenger car to add to the one that comes with this set, you'll have a more realistic set of two passenger cars with two locomotives. My son absolutely loves this train set and plays with it non-stop.You control the train with a remote control, which also allows you to control two different trains when applicable.There is a small train stop that comes with this set, which brings the entire train process full circle. I would highly recommend getting some additional train track to expand this set and make the travel time a little longer. Please note, adding additional train track comes with an additional cost, particularly because the LEGO train track isn't' cheap, but you'll be greatly rewarded by a more enjoyable experience.Be aware... the LEGO train sets go through tons of batteries, so be prepared to get stock in battery companies to keep these trains running. Great overall though.If my review was helpful, please let me know below. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.Happy bricking!
