Trains

Hi everyone! Which train would you like to see next in the CITY Trains theme? I'm a fan of the cargo trains because of their multifunctionality and playability, but there are also great passenger and panoramic trains out there just waiting to be built in LEGOs. The CSX Loco The Norfolk Southern Loco Glacier Express train The Rocky Mountainer These are my likes. Which ones are yours?

This set is bringing back big money! It was sold for $40 new and there isn't one available for less than $400. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=10022-1 That is like 1000% increase from MSRP. WOW!!!!!

Was it a very limited release in 2004? I can't find too much info on it.

is it a good price? for investment

I have a chance to buy up to 10 10194 Emerald Nights at $230 each. What is everyone's opinion. Should I get a couple at that price?

I just checked the LEGO Shop at Home Spain store and the Maersk Train is sold out with no expected back date. Grab a few while you can!

I cant wait to get my hands on the new 10233 Horizon Express : http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=10233-1. I love my 10219 Maersk Train but I find it uses too many stickers. The new 10233 doesnt look like it relies as much on stickers as the Maersk train does, wich is a really good thing to me because I hate stickers!

10277 The Crocodile Locomotive - 1271 pieces Its been a LONG time since we had some Creator Expert train love!

Hey guys, while checking out TRU, I noticed they had the 10507 - DUPLO My First Trian Set marked at half off TRU prices in store. Checking their website, they have it listed as out of stock, and I notice that none of the other big player retailers have the set in stock/listed on their website. It still is listed as Avail now on SHOPLEGO, but I have a strong feeling this set is heading for a very quick retirement. It's shocking because the previous incarnation of this set was out for 4-5 years, and this one came out in Aug 2013. So either there may have been a mistake with the set itsellf, or DUPLO may be replacing it or possibly even moving away from …

What about the 12 Volt train motor, to a modern one that Lego uses today? Power functions motor without all the battery boxes or sensors in other cars. Like a motor with a small battery and sensor already on the train motor itself. It would be like running a 12V train(Example 7730) without the battery in another car. It would be compact as 1 part, but still retaining the motor shape and size used for the last 35 years. And the middle wheels would be included too, and the driving rods as well to keep that retro realistic look.

As per tradition since 2005, Lego holds an annual special event known as the Lego Inside Tour and at the end of these if you were one of the lucky few to attend then an exclusive set would be given as a gift commemorating the tour.

Mods, if this doesn't merit a thread, feel free to move. This is less about investment (although this is a good set I think for the discounts people are getting it at), and more about building. Anyone else built this? We popped one open tonight, and instead of 4 straight track pieces, it included 4 sets of 4. So 16 total. That is weird right? Or based on the piece count do they always represent 4 pieces that way in the instructions?

Anyone put lights in this train yet? Trying to get some ideas as how to proceed. Thx

The recent revival of the Horizon Express topic made me think about the future value of this set. The train theme growth stagnated in 2015 and I was wondering what people really expect from this set. I thought that I would list some pros and cons and maybe some other people will have some input too. Pro: The crane dock is very well done and easy to expand upon The engine is excellent, especially if you are from North America. There's a cow There is no helicopter Two switches are included and that makes it easy to start a collection with this train or to make this your second purchase. Con: The "cargo" wagons a…

Hi everyone, Does anyone has an idea of the value of the rare train set "65537-1: Classic Freight Train"? The only information that I found is here were the price is around 185$ and on bricklink (just one set) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPriceGuide.asp?S=65537-1 were the value is around 2600 EUR. I know it is a really rare set but how to put a value on it. The set is NISB because there is a little wearing on the box. Can somebody help with this. Thanks, Anthony

Just want to start a discussion about this train . . . Looks like it may be a good "Base" to modify into something close to a "Stock" buildout. I dont MOC trains very well, so i generally take a stock or base set and modify. What have you done so far, or how does it look against the others?

is a good deal at 160

Anyone else think this set will be parted out (especially if discounted a lot) for the track? It appears to have 16 curved and 4 straight PF tracks in "Dark Bley". The curved tracks are quite costly on the secondary market since flex tracks aren't very popular. As noted, retail price is 99.99. Granted, that might be higher price for parting out (unlike other sets with a decent amount of desirable minifigs. E.g. Jabba's Palace)
