Cargo Train

I picked this up for my three year old. He loves it. I love the new technology that Lego has integrated into the train engine. The system uses color coded tiles that the train can drive over, recognize, and respond to. The tiles include sound, stopping, changing directions, pausing for a period, and lights. Fundamentally this is the foundation to learning simple programming. I need to see if these tiles are available separately. more less

This will be a fun way to encourage creative building and play. Adding in the action bricks gives kids more control over what the train does and allows them to set up new play scenarios each time. This is a big set that will inspire a lot of imaginative storytelling and be a fun first construction and train set. more less

Recently purchased this for my 3 year old son. He loves it and can't get enough. We already had one train set and got this one for him for his birthday. The trains and tracks are consistent with his existing set (works great together). This set has the new action bricks that adds to the train fun. He love to move the action brick around the tracks to add to his train play experience. He also love the crane in this set, the end of it locks into the LEGO bricks so he can pick up any LEGO bricks to load into the train as it passes. Would recommend this set to anyone who has kids that love trains. more less
