LEGO City Express Passenger Train 60337 BuildinKit – 764 Pcs

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 because the second motor would be the other way round so it would need to run in reverse at the same time. Using the other port on the second hub, one could press both buttons on the handset together, having rotated the dial 180 degrees (great feature), but what we really want is the ability to run two motors from one port or to run two motors in opposite directions from one command with the handset, without using a phone. That was easier with the previous Power Functions system. Please make the electrics more versatile, perhaps add a 2-port lead with reverse option switch for one of the ports, so we can drive "simple" motors like that. The lead could look like a train motor as its ID (pins 3-6) and just reverse the motor connections on pins 1&2. Without that versatility, people turn to 3rd-party products and you lose market share. The same goes for needing a LiPo battery for the hub. Power Functions had the 8878 LiPo battery but Powered-Up is back to unsustainable cells. So a great train set but an electric system that needs improving.

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 forward to building a little town arrou d my track. When or if I can afford to.

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.

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.

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.
