My son had this train for his 7th birthday and absolutely loves it, he has always enjoyed
playing with trains and this was a bit more grown up for him, obviously it is made from lego
so does require more careful handling, if you drop it it will break! but once put together
which is all part of the fun, it is brilliant, I have brought extra track and he spends hours playing with it, it has 7 different speeds controlled by a remote control, on the downside it requires 9aaa batteries, although an expensive toy it is worth every penny.

LEGO is a toy manufacturer of the highest calibre and this train-set proves it. I got this as a Christmas present to my six year old boy and he was thrilled. He managed to assemble it in approximately forty five minutes while I was making sure he was not missing any step and despite the fact that we had no batteries and that he was only able to run in manually once he finished, he loved it.
Now this train is perfect for a six-year old boy who is into LEGO City kits but for an older kid or a grown-up LEGO fan there are some features missing that might be disappointing. For example, The train has no doors. Unlike other LEGO city kits, like the yellow bus that comes with the pizza restaurant and its bus stop, the only way to insert mini figures inside it, is by lifting its roof. Not very realistic.
Yet the colours, the design the stop etc are all very nice and make a very nice set indeed.
+
design = this is a truly modern electric train
colours = the red is much better than the white of its predecessor.
train stop = its basic but cleverly designed and well equipped
-
no doors = mini figures can be inserted by lifting the roof
tracks = provided you want to have your train running in a closed shape the only one you can make is a small ellipse
passenger wagons = there is only one and you cannot buy more separately

We gave our son the Lego freight train for Christmas. He used all his birthday money to buy this train so that he had two trains. He says he prefers this train to the cargo one, but he usually plays with both of them.
The track in this set is very limited, you will need a lot more than this and it will take up a lot of floor space.
We bought 1000ma rechargeable AA batteries for the engines and think this has been a good investment.
As a previous reviewer said, these trains are a bit tall and at full tilt on new batteries will just roll off the track on the corners. He has tended not to do this.
We have used most of his existing LEGO blocks to make elevated track which has impressed his friends. You have to climb quite high to get over the pantographs.
Overall this has proved to be a fun toy, but a lot of the fun is building the tracks, as it cannot usually be left out.

lego train
Good quality as expected from lego. Lots of fun had with this. Could have been improved with more track but this can be bought seperately.

Excellent train
Train is solid with strong engine and surprisingly high maximum speed. Roof can easily be removed for lego mini figures to enter. My 6 year old son loves it!
