Poor battery life, problematic pairing
This train burns through batteries very, very fast. The remote and train frequently won't sync. The flashing lights on the remote and train don't offer any helpful information regarding pairing. You will spend lots, lots, lots of time frustrated changing batteries and fighting with the pairing. I wish I hadn't bought this.

Excellent train for train enthusiasts
I was a bit skeptical about the newer trains, but because this one does not have one-piece nose cone/etc, I tried and this is really more like the 90s trains. Basic interior pieces like the original chairs. The door glass is fine. Just lots of common bricks. Bought a second one for the complete look.

Best Recent Passenger Train but improve electrics
This train set is the best passenger train in recent years, mainly because it uses bricks to build the train and avoids a single-piece front end. The bricks are more versatile for reuse in different models. So good that I bought 4 of this set.
The set is ripe for adding another as the other end of the train, making 6 cars, but that is more difficult to operate becau...

Love it but needs a tweak
I live my set. I've been wanting to get it for years. Building it was great...but the little magnets are not strong enough to pull the carts. The front de-couples on 2. It also shows down alot on the bends. I also have to take a battery out for the lights to go off...not sure if that's how it should be or if fault somewhere. Overall....I still love it and looking forwar...

Fun train
Bought this set of Lego for a 10 years old boy, he loved it! From received, built, set-up, testing and completed...he enjoyed every moment. The train run pretty fast, he also thought about extending the track to let train goes faster. This is his first Powered Up set, super excited.

Amazing detail
This set was perfect for my 3 year old. She loved helping me build it every step of the way. I was surprosed at how much detail there was and howsimple it was to put together. She loves playing with it especially because I work on the train. Well done lego on bringing this home.

Train
What a great build from beginning to end, with the added bonus of battery power. It can go super fast around the track without derailing. The lights are super bright & can be dimed to suit your preference. My 13 year old son also enjoyed this.

Great set love it.
This set was a bit of nostalgia for when I was younger I got the set 60052 which is the blue cargo train it had me playing with it for days. Fast forward a few years and boom another cool train. This set is a great addition to my city... if I had one that was not destroyed.

Single-ended train, hard to play with
I would love to say that this train is the best train yet, but in reality it’s really hard to use. The cars are really long, which creates extra capacity but also limits where the train can go, like platforms on the inner side of a curve. It is also single ended, meaning sending it in the other direction requires me to use 1 or more switch tracks or purchase of an extra...

A Childhood Dream made True
I grew up watching plenty of videos on some of the Lego trains throughout the years, and I have always wanted one.
My parents would not get me them due to the prices, but I eventually purchased this one with my own money now that I am older!
For the first Lego train that I have purchased, I really enjoyed building and playing with it!

Travel train disaster
Train was working for a few times, but after a few uses, it stopped working properly. It would function for about 30 seconds and then it died. Replaced the batteries several times. It blinks blue and yellow lights with no mobility. We believe the hub is not functioning properly. What a waste of money and time. Son is very disappointed.

Mind the gap! 🫨
This passenger train set looks amazing when built. It's quite sturdy, it looks modern, and the engine/control works as it should.
There's just a few cons: (1) the train's nose is a bit too long you'll need ample space for it - as it chugs its way around your mini city; (2) the station platform can't be placed very near the train track, ergo, that big gap between the p...

Needs improvement
I bought it for my 7 years old son and it’s really nice. He loves it. I would like to recommend that instead of batteries which run out really quick, the train can be rechargeable. Batteries gone really quick.

Bought this for son for Xmas and the battery life is not good on the train I’m replacing them in a few hours. Yes the batteries are new and no they aren’t cheap store brand that’s my biggest complaint.
We do have another Lego train that I’ve had for 2 months and haven’t had to replace the batteries yet

good Christmas present
I bought this train set for my 6 year-old as a Christmas gift and he's been having lots of fun with it ever since. He was able to build it mostly on his own without too much help from me except for connecting the motor and cables for the lights. He loves the lights and using the remote control for the speed of the train! We've only had it derail once so far even despite...

Finally! A new better-than-ever train!
I enjoyed this new product, with the first brick built nose since ages ago, and WORKING DOORS ( the issue with older trains is they didn't have doors or a tardis!).
The station has loads more detail than stations before but... Maybe next time we could have a level crossing or a bike crossing to spice things up a bit!

Lego Train
I bought this to add a train to my city’s empty tracks I have going through it. I love the colors used on this train, they’re much sharper when built than how it looks on the box. I’m not a fan of the front of the engine, but I’m well aware these are designed in Europe, so I expect the nose of the engine to look like this. I did replace the front headlights with differe...
