It’s a shame Lego doesn’t make many Lego Trains anymore. I think If they made a new Lego train theme and made Steam Engines for it the theme might sell well!
Yea but too be honest Lego been lacking sets in general, kinda thinks that's why they bought brick link so Lego fans can go see custom stuff over there so Lego can focus on new stuff but who knows what Lego will release in the next couple years, just gotta hope its some cool stuff
@@bobjose5400Lego IS making a Lego Thomas,and to me,who is a fan of almost all Thomas media,I’m glad they are,but Lego needs to make more train sets and have them have a full loop of track
From 2006 to 2016 was (in my personal opinion) the best age for Lego Trains and Lego in general, the designs were quite realistic unlike todays toy like blobs
The 1980's Lego Train sets where the pinnacle. They had all the bells and whistles to be a proper train system. It's only when you see this system for real you also hear how amazing it sounds when running
I got the 7727 for my 7th or 8th birthday. My parents must have saved for months. Best birthday gift ever. I remember initially having to use a power wall adaptor to provide voltage because they then had to save up for the Lego transformer/controller. I also eventually got the stop/start signal , and some switch tracking. And finally the depot with the crane. Wow. What a mind trip this has been. Thankyou !
I had that 90s passenger train - that was PEAK lego design IMO. I also had a set around that time that you did not include, it was cargo crane with one car (IIRC). It was so cool. I wish I made a lego train city back in the day. Great video!
This really goes to show how under-utilised the train series is at Lego. It's a huge missed opportunity. If they released a new train shed, level crossings with control tower, individual train cars and freight cars....they would cash in big time.
I don’t know if anybody has heard yet, but an orient express set got selected to be made on LEGO ideas, so we’re hopefully getting that either this year or next year
One of the many points where Lego is shooting themselves in the foot is trains: Every few years they make a freight train and a passenger train and not much more - and then they're puzzled why the trains sell so badly...
I love Lego trains! I got my 7938 and 60051 passenger trains in Easter 2014 and my 12th birthday, and got the 60198 Cargo Train as a gift from my 10th grade year graduation in 2021, got the 60335 Train Station for my 18th birthday and the 60336 Freight Train for Christmas 2022, my first Lego train set for Christmas! Paid the $200 for it and it works so good compared to my pervious Cargo Train (green), one year later, thus the BLE color connection is a light teal blue color for hub and controller. I got lights to my 60336 and it was easy to install. 2010's Lego trains was way cool than the 2000's. I love Powered Up and its app!
for me the best Lego trains are those 9 volts (one of many reasons is this: I don't have to change the batteries every 2 hours or so if I have to do events) and instead for you which ones are the best?
I've got both the Santa Fe and the BNSF, they were both birthday gifts that I received at the time. Needless to say, because of their money value, and their sentimental value to me, I'm never getting rid of them. Though, I would like to get more of them some day
If they make a UP colored diesel engine I might loose my mind (In a good way). If they sell different types of rolling stock I will purchase multiples of all of it!!! Might even divert some of my electric train money towards Lego. The video was great and I liked and subscribed.
Lego Factory train was by so far the most interesting, Lego should release similar train set like that where you can build not only one wagon or locomotive, you can build a whole train with a locomotive and some wagons.
As a child, I had the 7710, 7720 and 7745. I always liked the 7740, but I never got. It was sold out. And yes, the 12V system was the best train system. After that, beginning with 9V, it only became worse.
0:47 strange that there are clearley plenty of plates and sloped pieces but lego couldn't design a more realistic loco. i guess cost had to come into it. Would be interesting to have just the available pieces from that era and see how good you could make a loco
I would like a set with a locomotive and 3-4 cars BUT each of those is 2 in 1 so 2*2*2*2(if 4 cars *2) =16 or 32(with 4 cars) different combinations! i think that would be fun
@@DZstudios. Not really, Lego is something that I play with my son, but if I wanted a good train then HO/OO scale models will always be much better than a Lego train.
There is a Lego Tram that is sold by Wiener Linien the public transit service of Vienna Austria. I don't think that it is produced anymore, but there are some still available on the website.
3:01 they actually based quite a bit of their old stuff on real locomotives. For example the train at 2:05 is based of of the german E-69 As a sidenote, i never understood the colour pallet used on the passenger cars for the train at 3:27. The passenger wagons are clearly based on the Dutch NS passenger wagons and yet they added DB logo's on it
The current passenger train is based on the new second gen. Rolling stock of the eurostar TOC (train operating conpany) and are siemens velaro D highspeed trains , the horizon express is based on the TGV sud-est , the first generation of TGVs in regular service , and the second generation of TGV if one includes the gas-turbine prototype consist Im german btw Also the new cargo train looks like it has the 373 windshield wich was due to the eurotunnel , sooo, they are implying that theres a chunnel??
R/nostalgic and why did we not remake the side rods and piston rods for the steam trains these were the years for it now we need thousands of money just to buy these antique amazement that were never remade again
12:14 as a transformers fan, i can asure you die cast parts will always make any figure or toy in general much more resistand, durable and reliable. However, companies tend to get rid of them due to production costs
Yes, the 90´s trains didn´t go for the most realistic approach but they were better than the bland stuff that came in the early 2000s. I mean come on they had like 6 cargo trains, how could one not like that? Also back then they offered alternative building ideas on the backside or last page of the manuals.
LEGO was great as long as every piece they produced could be used for many purposes because that was the whole point of the toy: Build the model you bought, build the second model, but then, build your own stuff with the bricks. Today we have sets full of pieces that you could not use to build anything else no matter how hard you tried. LEGO has become Playmobil.
4565 (1996), 4560/4561 (1999), 4512 (2003). You can find them all, if you browse bricklink -> sets -> train -> 9V The last one has a few rare parts in classic dark grey but not as expansive as light grey parts of the Metroliner or Santa Fe.
I really want a little bit bigger train like you can place the seats 1x1 and leave a 2 stud walk way and a overhead storage and make the magnets the connect the cars stronger they are so weak
In the 90 they used this irrational orange-to-blue weird hell portal background that did not make any sense ever,but is most likely a heavy contributor for the increase in popularity of consuming recreational drug for that generation of lego builders when they got older.
@@DZstudios. go for it, you could discuss all the new cars, locomotives and techniques we could use as well as an option for new parts they can make such as bigger wheels, driving rods “etc” plus if you want, to into different buildings and infrastructure that could be built as well
Excuse me, I remembered there was a train set looks very similar to the #10194, can anyone tell me which set is it? I saw it in shops when I was still young, it should have been released before 2003. The price is like Hong Kong dollars $5,000, should be like 639.29 USD
Yes it does. I did have my old 9V trains on display in the middle of the flat, for half a year. The octan tank car and the white stripes of metroliner did yellow alot. Blue parts also took some damage. You have to add UV protection, if you want to display your sets.

Lego needs desperatly to make more trains
Bluebrixx is a good alternative. They have alot of their own train stuff (mainly German locomotives)
Correction, lego needs to make more steam trains
They need to make more steam locomotives, AND NOT THE MODERN LOOKING ONES LIKE THE LNER CLASS A4. JUST THE OLD ONES LIKE THE GRESLEY PACIFIC PROTOTYPE
@@jodiknutson1209 what about an E2, Pannier Tank, K2, or any GWR locomotive!

My whole channel has become about this theme basically
its like model railroading lite
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
You just blew by the 7722 set, my absolute favorite Lego train set. Thanks for making this video!
Sorry
I don’t know if anybody has heard yet, but an orient express set got selected to be made on LEGO ideas, so we’re hopefully getting that either this year or next year
Yes maybe late 2023 to 2024
If so, Lego will bring back the large train wheels which at the moment are exclusively in 7750 tender engine train set
But i think it will cost like 500 dollars so it's most likely that i won't be getting it
@@markolysynchuk5264and? its 300 dollars did you get it?
In my opinion,the 9v and 12v were the best systems.
tks for introducing the history
Super interesting. Thanks. I'm a golden ager (80s), in Germany. Loved my yellow IC so much.
That high railer from the 90s looks awsome
Yep
10:34 The yellow freight I got as my first ever LEGO train! Still have it, still love it. :D

Absolutely the 12V because of the electric switches and working Signals!
this vidio is actully underated and dammm
I wish lego will relase train with 9v track again
checkout Fx track
This is bringing me to tiers
At least there is one more train this year
The Santa Fe süper chief and the BNSF sets were the best

My favourite Trains are the Monster Fighters Ghost Train and the 2019 Hidden Side Ghost Train Express

Older then the bricks even

@@DZstudios. I had lots of tracks, remotely controlled switches and signals. And lighting in the trains and the station, 7824.
@@Nikioko 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Very nice!!! I only have two types in my LEGO CITY, but I'll be adding more soon.
o wow, as a child, I had the 116 starter set. Feeling really old now 🤣
Do more actual railroad sets, like BNSF and ATSF
I would love to see an NS VIRMm in Lego form!
0:47 strange that there are clearley plenty of plates and sloped pieces but lego couldn't design a more realistic loco. i guess cost had to come into it. Would be interesting to have just the available pieces from that era and see how good you could make a loco
Emerald night is my favourite
Very nice ... but I missed the Monster Fighters Train ... Nr. 9467 ... a very nice set and very easy to transform to drive on tracks ...
I honestly hope Lego does a set of the Flying Scotsman to celebrate its 100th birthday this year.
When I was a kid, we tried to get that train depo, never got it sadly.
I personally want to see more Hong Kong trains. There are locally produced sets from a comapany that makes bricks that look like Lego.
A lot of the LEGO trains from the 1980s are based off of trains from Germany.
Interesting
Correct. Hence the red motor. German trains had red wheels.
7:40 got two sets of those :))
I would like a set with a locomotive and 3-4 cars BUT each of those is 2 in 1 so 2*2*2*2(if 4 cars *2) =16 or 32(with 4 cars) different combinations! i think that would be fun
Interesting I am making a video called Making a LEGO trains theme because lego will not. And I will take your suggestion
@@DZstudios. Thank you!
7710 was my first lego train set and later upgraded to an electric motor. I got the 7760 diesel as well as the parcels wagon and a couple of others.
Wow awesome! Would you like lego to make a dedicated train theme?
@@DZstudios. Not really, Lego is something that I play with my son, but if I wanted a good train then HO/OO scale models will always be much better than a Lego train.

In my opinion horizon express is the coolest
I remember having the high speed lego train set 7745
Cool
the best trains were made during the 80s with remote for signals points and isolaters to replicate real railways.
3:01 they actually based quite a bit of their old stuff on real locomotives. For example the train at 2:05 is based of of the german E-69
As a sidenote, i never understood the colour pallet used on the passenger cars for the train at 3:27. The passenger wagons are clearly based on the Dutch NS passenger wagons and yet they added DB logo's on it

The sets from that era came with stickers for many different European railway companies
@@EmperorJake yes! Even some extinct attractions
I think you forgot the duplo trains
Lego needs to make some more affordable Lego trains
can u use the train as platform to build something else on it?
this way u end up with a bigger special cart the way you desire
Freight Train Set 4565 from 1999 DOES NOT look weird, you remember this! It's best set ever (bcs I have it) !!!
I’m probably 10 years older than this guy and they definitely had Lego trains when I was a kid.
8:34 HEY!
The 90's train's livery (paint scheme) looked suspiciously like an Amtrak F40PH.
😮😮😮
The current passenger train is based on the new second gen. Rolling stock of the eurostar TOC
(train operating conpany)
and are siemens velaro D highspeed trains , the horizon express is based on the TGV sud-est , the first generation of TGVs in regular service , and the second generation of TGV if one includes the gas-turbine prototype consist
Im german btw
Also the new cargo train looks like it has the 373 windshield wich was due to the eurotunnel , sooo, they are implying that theres a chunnel??
Velaro trains are cool
R/nostalgic and why did we not remake the side rods and piston rods for the steam trains these were the years for it now we need thousands of money just to buy these antique amazement that were never remade again
Fun fact: some train is inspired by the real life train like one of the set in inspired the ICE 1 or 2
I hope Lego add a train to look like a class 314 or a lode of trains to the uk

You can build each and every single train even your own MOC simply by buying all the right parts and pieces at bricklink
Interesting
@@DZstudios. look at all the trains that dude built I think his name is britishbrickbuilder his train builds are better than LEGO!
I wonder why Lego trains are not 9 studs in width. Maybe to save material and money.
The current train is really bad design. A high speed train simply does not suit the small curve radius.
