Cool, very cool jang ^^
Reminds me of my old uncles modelrailwai in his basement ❤️
How strange… I had just finished building the latest train station and thought about this train, went to check your review, assumed you’d already reviewed it and here it is, the first video on my feed and a new upload 😂
Lol me too
Totally agree with your "strange" situation, because happened to me too but in different topic. I was repairing my PC, and at the end it need battery replacement. I open my phone, & out of nowhere TH-cam recommended the video for the exact problem.
🤔I'm not paranoid, but makes me wonder if my phone was listening or seeing what I'm doing. Because the odds for that can happened is almost impossible.
There is just something so special about Your videos. Even knowing I won't own almost everything you review, it still feels so close and real to watch you explain and show the tiniest details. Thanks for all the effort you put in your videos, it means so much.
“Look! We gave the platform a ramp so it’s wheelchair accessible!”
“How do they get across the gap?”
“The what?”
I've got the train myself, it's really good but I just wish that Lego would sell smaller sets that allow you to extend the train line what they did with the World City passenger train...
Can never go wrong with a good old-fashioned train set. Great review.
As a child of the 80s, I love Lego trains and this set hits all the nostalgia nodules. Niiice.
Great review of my first Lego train. From the moment I saw it, all I could think was, “I choo-choo-choose you!”
That gap is insane. Practically homicidal design! First thing I did was to customize it for the well-being of minifigdom!
It always warms my hart to see how happy Jang gets about trains. 😃
I'm not big into trains, let alone Lego/toy trains, but this is one of the very few train sets I went out of my way to purchase when it first released and it didn't disappoint. It's definitely a great set, especially if you want to get people started off into the world of model trains like myself. I also don't feel it needs all the clear back stickers to be applied. It has a wonderful sleek design.
Thanks for your great review. This is my first LEGO passenger train and I am very happy having two of them combined. They were discounted significantly in Germany, which made the decision easier - on top of your helpful thoughts when it was unveiled. I did not include the motor in the second locomotive but rather inserted some windows and seats. The lights are great in the dark.
Driving through the mountain in Jang’s city looks so cool
So much better than the previous set! It's a shame it's again just half a train and that platform is just silly, but other than that this is pretty much perfect. It is a bit pricey, but over here it has basically been continuously on sale for €100-120, a few times even cheaper. And that's a bargain for so much Lego Train goodness!
Best Lego train in ages. Brick built front, actual lights and doors... just like in the 1980s. 😅
Great video, thank you so much!
I love this train, i really enjoy that the front end is built up rather than being all one mold.
Great job, should be a great addition. Take your time and take time for yourself, too.
It nice that it has working doors rather than an indication of doors
Hi Jang
Big fan here and also part of the silent positive majority 😉😉
I have a general question:
In this video you clearly state that you are not sponsered by LEGO. Question: Have you ever been offered to become a LEGO Ambassador? (Because you would be perfect for it). And if yes - why did you turn it down?
Great review btw!
All the best
Jakob
Thats one nice train.
LEGO needs to make more trains
I love your Lego City! I've been following your series for ages. It was nice to see a lot of the old buildings like the shopping mall again. 😄
I’m glad you compared this to the horizon express because this is clearly based on a TGV train
Ah, I’ve been waiting for this one for a while. Nice to it finally reviewed!
In Germany I bought it for 95€. 33% discount you can get all the time and sometimes 40% for a short period.
The time has come for your review
Looks AMAZING in your city. Great way to review it
Great review, the full train looks amazing running in the city.
This looks fast, even when it's static
Your videos always have such a chilled vibe. I love it 🤌🏻
i just bought that train a few months ago and i made a little modification to mine when i was building it by replacing the electrical connector that's on the roof and putting in 4 of the 1x4 solar panel tiles on the roof to make the train more compact and easy to carry around
I really love the overall look of the train. Lego has done a terrific job on this one, although IMHO, the passenger car doors look weird. I do think having two sets is a good idea, in spite of the price. Thanks for reviewing this.
Great review, it is on Sale now where I am, so if I can, I will get it! Love the layout you have created, too.
Loved the train vlog looks amazing jang
I've never been into collecting Lego trains, but this one looks genuinely nice.
This is defintiley the best train made by Lego city. It has doors, the inside is more than just seats, and also the train looks alot like the horizon express.
The dual train build looks fantastic in the city. 👍
Hey jang i just bought lego 4561 railway express and the local bricks and minifigs store im so happy with it. Not related to the review other than it being a train ,my first 9v train never going back to batterys its just so much fun other than the whole don,t build reversing loop thing.
I've been looking forward to your review of this set, great review.
This set is awesome, I agree that its better than the last train
Those minifigures better make sure to get a running start to get on the train! 😂
I am so glad I bought this set. I got it a few months ago. I haven't opened it yet but watching this video makes me very glad I bought it.
I got it for Christmas 2023 it's quite possibly the best Lego train and I've owned most of them
Love the song in the background. Reminds me of the 2015 good times.
Love this train, the only thing stopping me from getting two is 1: the cost and 2: Lego needs to make rechargeable battery boxes again. Also rechargeable conrollers. 10 AAAs is ridiculous in 2023 even if they themselves are rechargeable. thats lots of extra cost. If i do get this ill likely use aftermarket parts to power them and sell the powered up parts.
I adore this review.
Great review. Every year I think about getting my first Lego train but just haven't done so yet. Hoping to get a good "starter" train and if Lego makes one that really jumps out to me I'll take the dive.
That looks so totally awesome! Thanks for sharing.
This train is more than just a toy, it's a piece of nostalgia that both kids and adults will cherish long after it's gone.
Your Lego city is so cool I think it’s so tastefully done 👍🏻
Love this train, so happy it has a nice green colour scheme, certainly better than the previous one, and the wagons are long and nicely detailed. Hopefully the newest cargo train will follow because I love the locomotive on that set.
I just bought this set & may eventually buy a second. I will try to make what's called a Jacob's bogey using only pieces from the set. That would free up enough parts to make an extra unpowered bogey.
I was just showing my family this!
9:30 That torso also appeared in the Hidden Side Newbury Highschool-set, 70425 (and maybe some other Hidden Side-sets?), that's probably their school/team's mascot on it as well, that little squid (for the... Squids).
Which means that Hidden Side is spreading into your city! This entire train-set is infected with spooks and spirits! No city will ever be safe again, the next train to arrive will be the ghost-train!
Or maybe not. Just saying, it could, it's Lego after all.
The rare sets you reviewed that I have bought! I did actually expect to hear your review before I bought, though apart from the tease in the Lego Train station review, there's not much more and I bought the train anyway.
It is certainly a beauty, and the train runs fast.
I don't have the luxury to buy another, so I converted the other end to a Koploper-ish head. Looks weird, but I've seen some Japanese trains (not the Shinkansen ones).
That bench on the platform is crying out for a sticker/print on that tile
Thanks Jang. Hoping you are able to review the Cargo train which came out at the same time as well!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees !
As Jang's said : I gotta get 2 sets to get a fully train
Awesome !
Nice review Jang Thx a lot ! The usual price is129,99€ in France and we can easily find it at around 90€ on sale or during BF. I bought two of these for 185€ and kept the second Powered Up unit for my Hidden Side train and replace it by a home-made bogie on the tail engine. The result is a very nice and sleek 1,50m long passenger TGV-like piece of machinery !
That is a really well done train, and green is my favorite color! But man $190 is a major ouch to the wallet and really only half the train. Great review though and thanks for showing us the full train going around your city!
For running two trains at once, would you be able to flip the back bogey?
9:10 I like that funky shirt on the middle figure, reminds me of something from the late 80s/early 90s.
this is sick :]
I like your hoodie!
Hey Jang nice review keep up the good work edit: didnt know they did magnets like that 😮
This is such an amazing train. Part of me wants one (two for double ends) but it's a 500 AUD plus a room of floor space investment and realistically I doubt I'm going to run it much.
this may be a silly question, but how does one activate the light?
So "Powered Up" doesn't have an equivalent of the "Power Functions" 8869 polarity switch.
That's... not great.
Looks like the Video Game Tournament Truck has a big brother! They have the same color scheme! 😂
What's that train set ? The white with orange on the bottom one ? In 11:27 , the one that has 3 passenger coach ?
I kind of wish they did more antique trains. I get why they do a lot of modern ones, but gosh darn it, I want my old west steam train :3
6:55 you think that minifig has it bad? Think of the poor guy in the wheel chair trying to mind the gap.
If you buy two of the set is one of the locomotives strong enough to pull everything? (So 6 cars?)
I love the set never gonna get it or miss after seeing the new 2023 "american summer" wave world wide yk what i mean lol but i already have that older train the uhmm yellow one so ill be alr plus im much more of a ocean person such as boats and submersables and wreckage/lost voyage stuff really peaks my interest
I enjoy to watch your reviews.
This train I never liked it in beginning. The nose is too long and the doors looks silly in mine eyes. And you mentioned about the gap of between trainstation and doors.
How low of a hight is the door frame of the train next to a ramp piece?
Is the power unit strong enough to just have one power unit pull the double train?
The gap is there for liability reasons. If a train hits an onboarding minifig with doors open it's a lawsuit waiting to happen!
I bought this for the powered up functions and track for my winter village Tram. I paid 116 euros for it. A little bit more than the cost of the powered up and track components separately.
Wish we got more 18+ trains like the “Crocodile Locomotive” same scale but more of an emphasis on detail, greebling, interior details.
I love LEGO trains but we need more from the theme similar to how 90s LEGO trains used to be.
Haha really admire the commitment to buying 2 just for the fun of seeing it double-ended like that.
Do you think that newer trains could have the same width as Speed Champions cars?
The previous passenger train (60197) could be run using single controller to control both train motors (if using 2x sets). i.e., both motors (1 forward and 1 reverse) could be controlled using a single button on one controller. For this train, you mentioned 2 controllers are required for that. Is that because there are additional lights now?
I wanted to buy this to get my Christmas tram working.
Please make a moc of this train
A question....do you have any input on selling on bricklink??? thank you
Minifig scale trains are basically too narrow to really do something interesting with the interior. They should have been 8 studs wide instead of 6, which also means wider track elements. But that ship has sailed.
Disagree, and that's from someone who builds 8 wide trains. It absolutely blows the cost out (More than double the pieces really) which doesn't work for a 'toy'.
Hey man, do you have a solution for the front lights not working properly in the app???
Hmm.. I don't like the shade of green, and wonder if that color could be subbed out for a white, a gray, a red or a blue.. VERY good to see Mid-Legs in the set, and the bike car and Dining Car. I am wondering though: with Speed Champions now being 8-wide, wouldn't it be nice to have some 8-wide trains? think of the possibilities?! great review by Jang of course:)
Lego should make more trains like the 12v era. With light sets and switches with automatic. Think about the possibilities with new technologies they have now instead of the 12v era.
But no, they dump Dots and Vidiyo junk and still make millions of profit.
Sorry, didn't want to end in rant. The review is good. Couldnt agree more, train is looking good. Got myself 1 for a great discount. I would suggest to wait for a discount
The build kinda gives me the feeling of the 7745 LEGO High-Speed City Express Passenger Train from like 33+/- years ago.
When will you review 60336 Freight Train?
nice hyaku-shiki
I need some 3D glasses next time you show the directions. 😂 Great review of a good set! Thanks always!
Coming out of a second dark age…I find most LEGO passenger trains underwhelming, but I picked up one of these on sale based largely on your recommendation. The engine looks a bit out of proportion somehow, but I’ll grab another if bigger discounts appear in coming weeks.
Who melted a pink cone on that minifigures head?
Love the trains but I think they’re just getting too expensive at this point. Still like the locomotive a lot though.
I really like it, I’m definitely going to not buy it and then regret it in a few years hehehe. The Aerotube Hangar is dominating the space of my big table, I had to exile all the non-space stuff from it to other surfaces.
It reminds me of a snake, the Python Express!
It puts the bicycle into a vertical position, or else it gets the hose again.
At this point im starting to think that for the 2026 Lego city passenger train might be a single locomotive which means we have to buy more than one
That gap is ludicrous, but understandable due to the train design. The hollow window frame that is holding the map is a weak design choice. Just overly simplistic for my tastes. Aside from that I think this is a really good train set!
