I can’t be the only one who misses the diesel trains
Getting extra straights instead of curves is a good thing! You always end up with way too many curves if you have more than 1 train set
Has happened to me before, lego goes by weight when packaged, guess straight and curves weight is the same, I sent lego a email and to my surprise they sent a free box of curves
Lego needs to do accessory packs for trains again.
Like Separate wagons of this one. (Or the passenger train)
And make new track pieces, new switches that are two curve tracks and two straight tracks in size would be nice so we don’t need to make parallel tracks all the time with the switches.
I’d buy every “2-Pack of Train Cars” for $75 if they existed
@@alexls1923 extra curve pack in a different radius would be great.
i would love to see additional wagons for the passenger train
I remember them making the set have certain wagon colors then the singles would have different ones
Your set came with only 3/4 of the curve track segments required. :)
And 5/4 straigt track
@@coen7606I've heard complains about how Lego always provides plenty of curved segments but few straights, so maybe it's fortunate?😅
Even though you did not need the missing parts, I highly encourage you to contact LEGO Customer Service so they are aware of the error, especially in case it was not an isolated incident.
There should be a lot number printed on an adhesive sticker or near the bar code on the outside of the box, and that will help them to track where the problem occurred.
Your reviews continue to impress. Thorough, constructive and informative... thankyou for going the extra mile
I have noticed this concerning trend about LEGO City recently, mainly that specific pieces are more and more interesting, having fabulous functions, such as a parachute, net shooters, stud cannons etc. while overall, they get... primitive, a prime example off being that now practically every car has an already done chassis, even the cars on this train seem very simple - with the walls being comprised of 3-element rectangles. What do you think?
This is a thing Afols have complained about since the first person talked about lego on the internet. Imo it's more accurate to say that specialization comes in waves- as older parts are discontinued, new parts are introduced, and it isn't always a 1:1 ratio. Take a look at City in the late 90's/early 2000's, modern city is incredibly complicated by comparison
I think a more accurate thing that can be said about city is that it progressively becomes more action oriented as time goes on, moving away from dollhouse style play. This isn't a bad thing- kids love action toys, and City is designed for kids!
8:31 That's a not-very-fancy way of describing that they just reused the same app from the Passenger Train with different visuals while not adding a light to the set itself. That, and many other choices, such as the plastic wheels, just show that Lego is being cheap on their sets, but expensive on their price tags.
Well you could say that they reused the control profile from 2018, from this aspect there's really nothing new in it. Removing a button could have been one click, so I like the intention of leaving it in. The biggest issue of Control+ for Technic is the fact that you cannot even add a light to the models that almost all have free ports for that. Here we at least have the possibility, although the set would definitely require some guidance about it.
@@RacingBrick Or better it could include lights so we can actually put them on.
Great video, and thanks for showing the light upgrade option. Just ordered the set together with the led addon. Thx again!
Adding the lights looks really good on this engine!!
In my Assembly Square, the whole bag was misplaced with another bag from the same step (it was step number 4, and I got 2 copies of one bag and 0 copies of another bag). Lego support was very helpful in quickly identifying the specific missing bag by just a couple of pieces (I was missing a mustache from the photo guy) and sent all the contents of the bag to me as a replacement. I identified the 2 copies situation because parts from opened bags for step 4 contained 4 minifigure heads while only 2 were expected (and zero mustaches)
If you have added lights to the set, i am fairly certain you can swap out the clear slopes with trans-red slopes, and you will have rear lights but no front ones
I remember my son getting sets 3677 and 7938. By far those where the greatest train sets from LEGO when it came to “battery powered” trains. Especially 3677, since today my son has a custom Maintenance Of Way high-rail built with the High rail from 3677. Of course the car that carried the high rail still exists in one piece as well. For set 7938, it was scrapped for parts for other locomotive builds.
Looks interesting!
I've been excited for new LEGO trains, but neither of these grab me. The 60336 is the better looking of the two, in my opinion, but the price inspires me to save my money for now. I'm glad they're making new trains, regardless.
Thanks for the overview :)
Your set had less curved track than it needed and more straight than it needed
Thanks for all your great Vinzenz👍🏻
Content!
Thank you for the light info.
So I finished this set this morning and I absolutely love it. Worth every cent.
But I cannot run the car transport wagon around my layout. I thought ground clearance was going to be an issue on my inclines but thankfully that's not a problem ( so now I know I can run the 60337 around it :-) The problem is the 8 studs with of the car transport wagon, it hits several pillars and buildings. So that is going to need some adjustment. The Reach Stacker is an absolute beautiful thing. Almost excellent set.
Do you know if the train can run in reverse as well as forward using the app?
I have had a box of rails with only 1 rail in it and i have had with my crane that a piece was damaged, Happily Lego really helps with this and just sent me a new one
Great review as always.
I got this for Christmas 2022 and I love it
Did they provide enough train tracks to go around a Christmas Tree on this set?
Even if I have the missing piece(s) in my personal inventory, given the price of these sets, I do contact customer service... Also, there's this slight issue with the car being higher than the pantographs 😉
My Favorites it's Lego City 2022 7+60336 Freight Train Set
How does this set compare with 60198 in regards to build fun and playability?
8 minutes ago wow thanks great video!
Another great review video
As a train nerd, I have noticed something. A bit unrelated as it’s about the 2014 cargo train, but that one, was the only LEGO City train seeming to be based off of an American locomotive, while the others (the 2010, 2018 2022, etc.) are based off of European locomotives.
I feel the same and would wish for an american type of engine for the next cargo train that lego comes up with - because they look much more interesting to me.
PS: For passenger trains I prefer the TGV / ICE / Shinkansen /etc. inspired designs.
@@christjoeng Intresting. I never gave a thought about passenger, but it is interesting on what you said.
One thing that makes this set better than previous cargo trains is no hooks and no ropes
I like this set much. It will be agreat addition to the city train I have. Sad that lego does not provide rail wagons to ourchase seperetly as an addon
Which lego train set is the best compare the usability and price? I'm thinking about my almost 5 year old son, I can clearly see he prefers lego not duplo (finally! :D).
Really good set. If I had kids, I would buy it for them. But i would give them the choice. LEGO train or Märklin. Both doesn’t make sense. Trains or Racing track system like carrera. I like the lego trains. In 1980 we had lego trains with lights. My god. What an innovation. Trains with lights. Lights …. We need more lights. Titanic with lights…. More lights please.
I might be able to buy that at the lego store at woodlands mall on Friday
does this have batteries or motors or magnets or anysort of electrical stuff and not lego plastic bricks because i bought these in australia and i want to bring them home as a handcarry on the plane edit: which is the battery and motor the big gray box or the small black thingy
The LEGO Lights 88005 have been out of stock in the Australian LEGO Shop for over a year!
related to the missing track maybe the set was boxed after a Coloplast factory party
I would have liked to know if 6 studs cars can enter the transportation wagon?
You switched the megnetic coupler and buffers from the locomotive with car transporter.
Cool
The mistake reminds me of the Mustang gt creator set I got a mistake in, they gave 2 of the outside bags for 3 instead of one outside bag for 3 and 4
I would like to do a Santa train to run around the tree at Christmas, using a goods train but making presents as carriages would this be do able? Sorry new to lego stuff thank you
Thanks for the review. Am looking at getting one for my grandson. Are there tracks you can buy separately to build longer train tracks?
Yes, you can check them on lego.com
Trix Brix loads of track at excellent prices check their website out.
Nice video
I really want it i have the Passenger Train from 2018 can i put lights on Passenger Train from 2018?
What is it with LEGO and train sets with only one switch point???
I'm not into LEGO trains but i might get this set if i can get a good discount. I bought the off-road buggy last year (with 50% discount) because i wanted to experiment a bit with motorized builds but was very disappointed because the buggy could only be controlled via an app that did not work on my old phone - and i am not going to buy a new phone just to be able to run a single app. This set have what all motorized LEGO set should have - options to control with both an app and a dedicated LEGO remote. With this set (and other sets like it) i can do motorized builds without having to get a new phone.
Which set is the currently cheapest set available with same idea of control, that is at least an option to use it without a phone app?
The train controller can only be used directly with this 2 port hub. Any other sets (like the buggy) will require the Powered Up app and some coding to act as a bridge between the remote and the Technic hub. Currently only the trains come with the remote in the box, nothing else. There are 3rd party solutions to control cars directly with the remote, but they require some coding - th-cam.com/video/OI26ok1Kekc/w-d-xo.html
I once got 2 number 2 bags instead of a number 3 bag
I don't understand how I went through 22 years of buying Lego with no parts missing but lately they've been screwing up.
The car hauler won't pass any switch tracks without derailing or detaching for me. Doesn't seem to matter on the speed or load. 🤷🏻♂️
this is a good set but the official retail price in Vietnam equals 350 usd which is ridiculous
I mean I wouldn’t send straight tracks back
They worth a lot more money xD
Sell it and buy 4 times as much of curved tracks
Hey racing brick nice review but you put the engine buffers on the car transporter
OMG and it won't roll this way?
Thanks for the review. I think it is a great set. A must buy for LEGO train enthusiasts and for those who had not a chance to buy some of the past trains. The set seems to be in line with the other 2022 LEGO city sets, in terms of design and concept (green technology, etc.).
I can’t notice anything wrong when he opened the box; can somebody please explain to me? 😅
What model is the black and red rally buggy in the top shelf?
This one rebuilt with different body panels - th-cam.com/video/3D0Zz4N5zD0/w-d-xo.html
@@RacingBrick thanks for your reply! Made my day :)
Old green cargo train look much more better. New high-speed passenger train has nicer design
@RacingBrick, you made an error by putting the locomotive buffer on the car transporter and the car transporter buffer on the locomotive
Thanks, luckily they still both work this way :)
@@RacingBrick lol
I think the problem is that you have more straight rails (20) than the curved rails (12)
Which means 4 more straight rails
Locomotive is like MAV hungarian locomotives
I'm not a fan of the look of the new locomotive. I love your reviews though!
Are all the wheels has plastic axels now??? or just the locomotive ?
All sadly
@@Mir_Cl212 Thank you, I did find out they are all plastic and I exchanged that train set for the old yellow passenger train, I do prefer the metal axels over the plastic.
@@spirit.canada tbh the trains devolved over the years
Nobody noticed that bag 3 has a different layout from all the other bags?
That happens frequently, I guess it is produced in a different factory
What was I supposed to see looking at the Lego part bags laid out? I’ve been staring at the video paused looking at bag numbers but no they seem correct. lol
Look at the tracks ;)
Does anyone know if this train can be operated in reverse as well as forwards?
I believe so but im not so sure
Hello. I want to take this train but they keep saying it derails. Did you experience this problem?
I didn't experience it. It might be possible derail the train at full power with fresh batteries, but this is not average use.
@@RacingBrick Which model has better handling? 60336 vs 60337? Can you help please? Nobody knows where I live.
@@kingdom.35 I didn't test the other model so I cannot tell you that, and I'm not sure what you mean by "better handling". The app profiles very similar and you can practically exchange them if you feel like, it's up to you (or the kid) to decide if you want to play with a passenger or a freight train.
@@RacingBrick can you watch it, what's your opinion? 60336 engineering error? 31:29 th-cam.com/video/8C6OFbLQ73k/w-d-xo.html
Nice set just not my cup of tea. As always your build and opinions are greatly appreciated.
No atach on the tracks
You placed the windows the wrong way on the white car 4:59
Every Lego sets are very expensive and it was made in Denmark
here the big problem is shown of the new powered-up system against the great power function system we had.
I'm not sure what "big problem" you see with this set, actually the train system is the only one having the dual physical and app control out of the box which is an advantage over the old PF system.
@@RacingBricki am not talking about the set itself (i like it) i am talking about a lack of ports and/or not being possible to stack several lights or other cables. and you need a controller for each train. can not control 2 trains with 1 controller.(so far I know) > where the older system you could even control 8 trains with 1 controller. (i do not like to use apps for trains, it works terribly when want to control more trains at the same track/time
@@basberend you can connect one controller to 2 trains, that's been tested and working. Not sure if it works with even more, but definitely works with 2. Regarding PF vs. PU, yes the new system lost the stackability of the ports, but we have interactive motors and sensors instead with way more capabilities and BT instead of the super limited infrared connection. I don't think the problem is with the hardware, we would need solid and simple to use software to be able to use all the hardware properly.
Balàzs, az ablakok meg vannak cserélve a fehér autòn (5:01)
Megesik, majd szólok a gyereknek hogy fordítva rakta össze :)
@@RacingBrick ok :)
It's a bit bright and colourful for a freight train lol
Meanwhile it's a construction toy for 7 year old kids so...
Something else that's irked me about the lighting for the cargo train, usually when lighting is optional, they include instructions on how to add it in (eg, previous passenger trains). There's no such instructions in this set, so I was fully unaware that it'd been designed to take lighting!
That's exactly what I was talking about, the app has the option but it's not indicated anywhere else.
@@RacingBrick Imagine if the app didn't have the option either; we'd never realise that the design of the cab was to facilitate the lights. Oh and one more cost saving that you might not have noticed, they no longer include the 1x2 tile for the remote. (old passenger was a yellow one, old cargo was a green one).
@@neothermic1 interesting, I assume they tested if people need an indicator which side of the controller should be used.
@@neothermic1 Exactly. I missed it immediatly. Had it myself. Now I have 6 remotes on my table so the colour indiciation with that tile is absolutely needed.
The locomotive looks like a passenger train
There's no crossing and that means the inner track layout is inaccessible unless you drive cars over the rigid tracks. This limits the play value especially for newcomers and they're missing out on this one feature that almost every cargo train set has.
For us enthusiasts no problem but I doubt a kid getting into lego has the parts to make a crossing for vehicles.
Pass their train sets have been going down hill for a long time
It's the exact same train design as always. SUPPORT THE THOMAS THE TRAIN ON LEGO IDEAS. MORE STEAM TRAINS NEEDEDS
I honestly dislike the trend of double ended cabs on the locomotives and I don't like the look of the cargo train for this year at all. In my opinion, the rollingstock looks better than the locomotive
Double-ended cabs on freight trains is a very very common European train design, which this is going for a similar look to a Siemens Vectron; to which it's done rather well.
Double ended cabs on locos has been a thing here since we had the first diesel-electrics in the 1950s and 1960s.
20 straight tracks and 12 curved tracks ofc
Aaaand this train set sucks so much
H.O,W
wow modern Lego trains look pretty bad. I think they peaked with the Mersk Freight train
This set needs a serious buffer ...
The instructions are in separate plastic bag
Nah that normal with some lego sets I think it's the fact that two of the bags have no numbers on them when all the other bags have them
Now that I look at it those bags contain the train only parts like bumpers and the controler. but also the amount of straight tracks are more then the curved tracks every train set has a even amount of straight and curved tracks
@@leoconto1043 non-numbered bags are very common for parts that odd shaped and/or electronics. If you nab, say, the City lunar base or the launch sets, they include their large plates in a non-numbered bag.
I have all lego train in the last 20 years but this cargo train Sorry Lego its a joke!!!!!!
Maybe you could elaborate this, why is it worst than e.g. the previous two PU trains?
The locomotive seems pretty awful.
First
