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.

Same!!

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.

I like the overall look of the train, but unless you buy two sets ($$$$$), it looks like only half a train.

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!

It does look underwhelming compared to past train sets, but it really seems to works when two kits are combined.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 wish it was double sided, now we have to buy two just to get a full train

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

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 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'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

9V Train era was sooooo much better.

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 👍

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...

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 best reviews of Lego trains from anywhere...I can buy this theme or build from your videos, perfection.

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

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 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

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..

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!

I got this train as a Birthday gift, It is amazing so far!

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!

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).

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.

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'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

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.

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.

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!

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.

I am obsessed with your Channel and I've watched every single video

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.

I had a similar situation but with the previous train station and the 2014 High speed passenger train.

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

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.

This video just makes me want to see your next city updates... Can't wait till you get back to custom work!

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!!!!!

1,000,000 subs! Congrats!

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)

That’s so cool and I’ll be happy to have it!

Nice Review! Thanks !

Cool! Can’t wait for this one to come out in the us!

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.

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.

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 may get this and then a table to try and start a LEGO city!!!

I like the look, kind of a lot of yellow but it's still cool

I will probably get two of these, turn the second locomotive in to a driving van trailer, and use the motorisation in another model.

Awesome! i love the new train sets!

This actually looks pretty good. 👍

Best train in years. Glad I will get this hopefully in a few weeks.

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.

I LOVE THIS SET!!!

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

4:57 Awww Lego, common! Why Lego, why?! Just one little door is all we ask!

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.

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.

I might get two of these to combine them

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.

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%)

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.

I think if you buy two of those it would be one of the best trains

I like the dining car stickers

I like a lot the combination of the colors

I'm getting dizzy watching your trains go around your city! But nice review!

Nice Lego City huge build.

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.

Love the colors

Thank you!

If you think it's inspired by the Eurostar (which, looking at the most recent livery, I certainly agree with you), then it's actually closer in linage to the TGV that the Horizon Express was based on (most northern European high speed trains outside of Germany and the UK tend to be part of the TGV family).

Hmm, neither of them really have a nose that is particularly similar, but I'd argue the lack of passenger compartment and bloody great grill would lean it towards the 373. Anyway, either way, I think it looks rather smart, think I'll have to pick up a couple at some point.

Will the 2022 passenger train be £130?

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.

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 am getting it for my b-day! :D

I feel like 2 of these would be cool

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.

Could you do another Lego trains in action video, to show some of the newer Moc trains and custom locomotives?

I will combine this with my city sets so my minifigs can get around

I feel like Lego needs to make their trains more realistic and expand away from them being European or dutch inspired. None of their train kits are appealing to me as a railroader, train lover and Lego fan. I've always wanted a Lego train and bought this set. I intend to build the set just to build it but take the wheels and motor etc and build realistic Lego train mocs in proper scale etc. this set is 200.00 CAD. I liked it back in the mid 2000s when they made those US train kits with the Santa Fe passenger, BNSF loco and some freight car kits that you buy multiple kits of to build more cars and longer trains. They should bring those back and PLEASE with the track kits, take those flexible tracks out of the kits and sell them separately.. they look tacky... Nice review
