This set was purchased from the UK. It is scheduled to release in the Americas on August 1.
A similar real-life locomotive is the Eurostar-branded British Rail Class 374, based on the Siemens Velaro, in turn based on the ICE 3.

why doesn't LEGO release all the sets at the same time all over the world
I'm pretty sure it will be in australia way later than that. We almost always get the sets last.
JANGBRiCKS nice!
Jangbricks your videos are awesome keep up the good work
JANGBRiCKS hello jang
I found one,wrongly priced,at £49.99.The manager let it go but insisted any more would be full price.Nice turn-up for the book!
How’s it goin, Jang?
Man, I stop building regularly a longgggg time ago, but your videos are actually so good I still decide to watch them. No other youtuber has done that for me. Thanks, Jang!
Same!!
I like the overall look of the train, but unless you buy two sets ($$$$$), it looks like only half a train.
the second I saw this train I immediately knew I wanted it. Now I'm waiting for it to come out next month and I'm getting three, going to be moding it a little but I just love the look of it and seeing it run just makes me like it even more
"There's a good chunk of this that's hollow and empty inside."
Me too, Jang, me too.
Whenever I have a new set of LEGO in the mail I always watch your reviews a bunch before I get them :) congratulations on getting too 1 million subscribers, and thank you very much for all the awesome and honest and reviews! You the best Jang!
Jang the reason why your videos are so lovely and a joy to watch, is that even when you're being your most critical of something you are still positive about it. It doesn't matter if you are 5 or 50, everyone can appreciate an island of wholesomeness in a sea of chaos. Thankyou mate for all the sunshine and joy your videos bring, please never stop being you.
P.S. another thing I've noticed, is that even though I'm not interested in this particular set, your enthusiasm for Lego overall is infectious and I'm still compelled to watch the entire thing just to hear you describe it.
It does look underwhelming compared to past train sets, but it really seems to works when two kits are combined.
I wish it was double sided, now we have to buy two just to get a full train
Yeah, but it would cost like £300 so thats not great
Wow
I wouldn't be surprised if someone else had the same idea or you already did but what about making a old broken and rusty train sitting in your Lego city somewhere, this is just and idea and although it would be cool to see you review it once you make it everyone has a limit to Lego pieces at some point.
I feel like this really shines when you put two of them back to back - but then you actually need to buy two of them.
It seems like the theme for LEGO In 2018 is to buy 2 or more sets for things to look good. This set and the city hospital are two perfect examples where to make it look good and realistic, best to buy 2 or more.
YEEEEEESSS!!! I love this set!!! I love everything about it. Except that it is only half a train for $150.
Considering that with this hitting shelves, the older passenger train will hopefully be going on sale.
The locomotive of the previous passenger train (60051) lools like a ICE 3. This one's looks more like a RB used in Northern Germany. (the shape of the front is exactly the same and it also has simmilar colours)
I love how it snakes along your layout on short curves
I really like the new trains they’ve done, although I wish they would release a cheaper one maybe a $40 unmotorized version
The simple stop made me think, why aren't LEGO releasing a new City train station this year? There was one in 2010, another in 2014. I doubt the 2014 one is still available to buy, yet they want people to buy this train but give them nothing to supplement it with. Very odd..
The train looks nice, but the lack of detail in all three of the cars really disappoints me.
ZG Brickfilms
Not enough parts to make it cheap enough for the price.... But least u get power function.
I think this is one of if not the nicest city train ever.
I think those brown cupcake top pieces could easily be seen as a chocolate muffin, which seems to be pretty common conveniant food for sale
I wish they would offer it in a non-powered version so we could re-use our old power functions with it and save a bunch!
EraserMice Labs I agree. I have the 2014 cargo train and want this but I wush I could run both trains with one remote controller.
Or sell all sets non-powered and leave space and instructions for the motors
Maybe someone does it on ebay or something
You inspire me to be more creative with LEGO
The passenger train and cargo train sets are on my to get list this year.
Good looking train, the Cafe car is available to be modified to add seating and although the Station is forgettable it has a good set of parts 😎 also the Main engine is able to be modified also to add seats to it or a toilet etc
9V Train era was sooooo much better.
Reminds me of the Horizon express they released a couple of years ago, both in design, and the fact that they dont give you a complete train :P
I'm a fan of this train! I think of it looks great! And I think I will aim to get a 2nd locomotive and keep it shorter - my city is nowhere near the size of yours. For me, I was never blown away by the previous passenger train. I found that boring and this is much more interesting. But, I do still have fingers crossed for another LEGO Creator train! Thanks Jang
I think the space is because the locomotive was originally designed to use the IR system but with the upgrade to power functions 2.0 its no longer needed. It does mean you can retro fit the IR.
the 2 trains end to end looks so much better, its too short otherwise. it is almost hypnotic to watch going around the city. it has a nice solid and sleek look. I do think though this train is more like the ICE 2 rather than the ICE 3 that the previous train was closer to
I'd appreciate that they made a classic looking train, with an engine, charcoal car, a couple of wagons and a nice yellow caboose
Yes, we need one other than the emerald express or night or whatever that thing is called
The best reviews of Lego trains from anywhere...I can buy this theme or build from your videos, perfection.
Hi Jang, thank again for another great review. I personally like the look of this train as I brings back lots of memory’s for me. My dad used to be a train driver and it looks like the British HST (High speed train) that was in service in the 80s & 90s, I remember my dad taking me to work with him before health and safety law went crazy and these trains looked so futuristic at the time. I think I’m going to have to get one to put in my city just for that reason.
Thanks again
The locomotive's wheel interval between the front and the rear bogies kind of bugs me, and I feel like the round, centered front lights of the locomotive are somewhat ditracting, but I don't dislike the overall shape and aesthetics of the train.
It was nice to see your city by the way! Feels like it's been a while since the last time I saw your city. Also, it was cool and funny to see that the train and your central station's platfrom color kinda matching. Nice review:)
The three cars are massively under-utilised, a train of this size should hold twice as many figures or at least a more substantial dining area!
It feels more like a $130 set, max.
For mine, it needed another end drivers car to make the train complete. And also agree that the space wasn't used effectively. The previous white passenger train may be a better buy at the moment, especially if you are deep into the first PF system.
Thanks for the honest review 👍
Personally, I think that I will try and get this set because I have not gotten a train set in the past but I have always wanted one. I like the look colour scheme of this one the most and I don't mind the lack of passenger space because I won't be able to see inside most of the time. I will also build my own custom station around the tiny one they provide. I think that if you want a train but don't have one, then you get this one.
Hello again, Mr. JANGBRiCKS!
This is a good review video! It's very helpful for people who are considering buying this set, so that way they know of what's to come.
Do you think that the red-sleeved torso with the space minifigure head on it is going to replace green-sleeved torso with the full space minifigure on it? I've been observing lately that the first torso, which is used on the boy minifigure in this set, has become more common place than the torso used on the boy in set 31036, Toy & Grocery Shop.
This is the first LEGO passenger train set in five years that has two passenger cars and a locomotive instead of one passenger car and two locomotives. Even though the whole train set looks good on its own, I believe that the LEGO Company should release an expansion pack or two for this set. First, there would be a "dummy" locomotive set which would have seats where the battery box would normally be. Then, there would be a baggage car set. Each of these sets would include two pieces of straight track. I highly doubt this would happen, but what do you think, sir?
Once again, this is a good review video! I enjoyed all of the sixteen minutes and six seconds of it. Take car, sir! Kind regards, cheesy. 6/29/2018
I got this train as a Birthday gift, It is amazing so far!
Fully agree with your criticism of this set. It's odd, but while just about all aspects of LEGO have evolved a lot since the 1980s/90s, the evolution of the trains have rather gone backwards. No doors, lots of unused space, sparse interior, few minifigs, tiny platform...
Compare that to the 1991 Metroliner, which included a much more detailed interior with sleeping compartment, cargo area, engine detail etc. as well as 11 minifigs, 7 suitcases, 2 bikes, 1 trolley, a rather large platform - and still just about 100 pieces more than this. Not to forget the actual lights at the front of the train...
Now I suppose one reason for today's simple trains is that the recommended age starts at 6, while it was 8 for the Metroliner and other classics, but still...
When I first saw this set, I was really excited, because its colour scheme really reminds me of the Hungarian train company
called MÁV. And it especially reminds me of a certain train type called Flirt with its newer white-blue-yellow colour style (the older ones were red and white).
It feels like an Amtrak for me. Just need a few more passenger cars, and a replica of the train to make the set feel complete
I have to agree that it does look similar to the Eurostar, but the nose and orange color reminds me of the Brightline train in Florida! (But that train is diesel, not electric)
I kinda like it just with one end cab! It reminds me of the new SC44 Charger locmotive pulling the Missouri River Runner, which terminates near where I live!
Although I don't care much for real trains or Lego trains I think it would be nice if Lego offered a proper train station and single train cars of different variations. A train depot would be appreciated by train fans, too, I think.
Have trains in my city I would like to have more train stations and cargo ports in the city.
They've done two passenger stations, but they might be harder to find now. I agree about the single car kits. They did one back in the 9V days that could build a dozen or so variations from a single kit, but only one car.
What are you on about? look up their''mine own train'' stuff from the early 2000s, there were loads of rolling stock you could get. do you mean the red crocodile loco they did which was a fan inspired loco which could be built in to a few dozen variants around a decade ago? back in the 12v days there were proper railway side buildings and yards, not to mention much more than just 3 train related sets for 4 years. The trouble is, i think, lego builds are so complex now, that you need lots of parts for a set, which requires a high purchase price which is out of reach for most children.
I think this set is great. Definitely buying one. Don't have a train in my set up, but it sure would look cool so this is a must have for me.
I am obsessed with your Channel and I've watched every single video
The two different wagons remind me of the 7740(?) train from the 80s, maybe lego will make a sleeping- and a mailcar next year, fitting to this train😄 that would be awesome
I was inspired to do LEGO videos from you thanks if you didn't really existed I'm sure I don't have a LEGO video thank you so much you're the best JANGBRiCKS.
The new trains get the seal of Meh from me. Nothing particularly positive or negative to say about both. Also nothing I must add to my collection.
I love this new PF system, now I can motorize my small custom trains now, instead of having a huge trailing motor car behind it, or having to fork up alot of money for 9V motors. Nice review!
I like the look, kind of a lot of yellow but it's still cool
Nice Review! Thanks !
I would disagree with you about the look, but I do agree that they could have done more with it. It seems this passenger train is no exception to the trend of underwhelming passenger trains of the last decade.
I really loved the 9v era trains, at least the early 90s. I always wanted to get more as an adult, but I really didn't like the IR controllers, so when this came out and I got excited. My wife really wanted to get into legos as she never had them as I child and wanted to experience the magic of lego trains)) We bought it for $115 on a Christmas sale from our local retailer and I actually love it. It's not as compact of a system as the 9v motors, but it's definitely simpler than all the IR components. I feel like I want to get a second one to have a bigger train)
This video just makes me want to see your next city updates... Can't wait till you get back to custom work!
I will probably get two of these, turn the second locomotive in to a driving van trailer, and use the motorisation in another model.
I like this set better than the last high speed train set. I know it is only half of a train, but it looks way better. More detail for the loco, and a diner car! I love interiors and this one has great interiors except for the no chairs in the DINER CAR. And I'm pretty sure that those separated windows on the cars are supposed to represent doors. Great review...typical for you. Been watching since 2013!!!!!
If I were to buy this set (I'm not going to, but if I did..) I would have to customise this and insert train doors. It seems laughable that the train pulls up to the platform only for the minifigures to be unable to enter the carriages. They'd be frantically falling over each other trying to find a door.
1,000,000 subs! Congrats!
That’s so cool and I’ll be happy to have it!
On amazon Germany its going for around 90€ per set, I think that's ok, considering buying two of this and the Christmas train together gives you all you need for a proper "Regional Bahn" and motorized rotating tree.
Great vid as always Jang.
When considering the price, an important factor to note is that (In the UK at least), for £20 LESS than this Lego set, you can purchase a Hornby Railways model train set that is very similar in that it contains an oval of track, three part train, some extra trackside parts and all the stuff you need to run it but crucially, it is a fine scale model with high accuracy and quality.
I find it interesting that this Lego set is more expensive than an actual model railway set, given that this set is retailed as a toy compared to the railway set that is sold as a model set.
Of course, not everyone wants a train set rather than a lego set, but I am sure that a large number of people who are fans of trains, would rather get an accurate model set rather than a toy set. Of course lego has the benefits inherent to lego and also it is compatible with other lego sets which is a large factor of why people would rather have this set than a model set.
My point is that this is marketed very high in price for a toy train set when people can buy cheaper sets that are non-lego but arguably better as train sets.
I have one of these. I modified it so it has a single bogie between the two coaches. I also moved the photograph a bit back and added cab controls.

Always have to get the jang seal of approval before buying a set
The design reminds me of when I went to Berlin earleir this year. It reminds me of the trains there as it has a similar colour scheme. I prefer this one to the last white one.
I just got this for christmas I am so excited to finally after 4 years of waiting since my first train related set I finally have a passanger train to go with set 60050 the 2014 train station.
Me to!😁
I had a similar situation but with the previous train station and the 2014 High speed passenger train.
Will the 2022 passenger train be £130?
I LOVE THIS SET!!!
This actually looks pretty good. 👍
I may get this and then a table to try and start a LEGO city!!!
Cool! Can’t wait for this one to come out in the us!
I am definitely planning to get this, I like the look of it and it becomes a better bang for buck as I am able to get a discount on it from work (25%)
Awesome! i love the new train sets!
4:57 Awww Lego, common! Why Lego, why?! Just one little door is all we ask!
Best train in years. Glad I will get this hopefully in a few weeks.
For Christmas?
I'm getting dizzy watching your trains go around your city! But nice review!
ill have to wait till mine arrives on November 9th 2018. it will be coming with a track pack. the next day another kind of track pack should arrive. when ill get it ill post my rating when its all set up.
I might get two of these to combine them
Thank you!
Top tip for UK folks: ARGOS has the old 2014 train for sale, which is far superior, for £84.99, which is £35 less than this train.
Also feels/looks somewhat incomplete compared to the white and red passenger trains, without the cab car on the opposite end. Having to buy 2 kits to make a more appropriate looking set is very expensive.
Although I know it’s based on the Eurostar color scheme, it reminds me of the old C & O streamlined color scheme of the 1950’s and 60’s so I just might get it for that reason.
I originally thought the engine front looked kind of gross but I am totally converted now that I see its only one engine with two passenger cars. Now you can actually get two to make a good size train.
Love the colors
I think if you buy two of those it would be one of the best trains
I wish LEGO would include a "dummy" engine car with these type of sets. A second engine (without the motor) facing the opposite direction rounds out the train. You need to buy two trains to do this. And I also wish they would put some type of door on the cars.
Garfield Smith I’ve done that with the horizon express but the weight of a 6 car train is too much for the motor. So I run both powered with white and red lights and you can balance the pull push nicely. It really flies too
Good point. I was thinking of a 4 car train. Two 4 car trains running on a "city" road as an LRT was what I was thinking about.
My plan is to buy two and I plan on useing the other powered part to upgrade my older cargo train.
That’s a wonderful idea
I will combine this with my city sets so my minifigs can get around
I need this
I am getting it for my b-day! :D
I like the dining car stickers
Finally got this for 40% off on Amazon. Gonna be exciting to find a place for it in my tiny tabletop city. I know Jang doesn’t like this trains aest but it rle speaks to me.
Could you do another Lego trains in action video, to show some of the newer Moc trains and custom locomotives?
I like a lot the combination of the colors
This set is amazing. It is the same price as the 2014 train but it has the new and improved functions.
I don’t know why you don’t like it. We can make the function area a sitting area ourselves.
😐
I feel like 2 of these would be cool
I will buy this set on my bday
Yeah this train screams to be doubled up. It looks quite good then IMO.
The locomotive kinda looks like the streamline SC44 Charger on the Florida Bright Line express train. 🚄
Guys the buffet is so cool!!!
