Recommendation: yes 5 / 5

The multiple train cars, tracks, accessories, and minifigures in this set give kids hours of imaginative, open-ended play possibilities. This would also be a great set for a large scale, LEGO City display.

Recommendation: meh 9 / 10 by Nachos Grande

I would have given the set straight 10s across the board for the price in which I got the set ($60 off retail). However, for a set priced at $200 it seems to be lacking in a few key areas. If only LEGO had gone the extra step in a couple of spots (the third cargo car and the depot mostly), this would have been a near perfect set. Even so, if you can get it closer to $150 or so, I would consider it a must buy!

So my eight-year-old desperately wanted this train. I tried to use the Amazon app to show him that the train was discontinued and I would not be able to get this for him since it was $200. however his heart would not be swayed so Santa had to come to his rescue and order this off Amazon. After we got it assembled the engine did not work, we tried and tried and nothing fixed it. My husband called the customer support number for Lego that was included in the packaging. Without hesitation they shipped a new motor!! It took longer than I expected, but once we got it the train worked beautifully. My only advice is to make sure that your eight-year-old hasn't skipped some steps in his excitement to have this baby up and running! Fixed some missed connections and we are full steam ahead! Pun intended....

Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by John

It's brilliant fun for all ages – endless hours playing with it. There's a lot to look at, plenty of great parts, and it's big when it is all set up, as well as having a full track circuit and multi channel remote control. It gets let down in a couple of very minor areas – lots of stickers, some strange details in the cargo, and a very simple cargo station.

I bought this train for my 6 year old son, he loves trains and he love watching Lego trains on YouTube. He built 90% of this set on his own in about 14 hours. He was determined to get it running. The train looks amazing and it is easy to control, within second my son had the controls figured out and the train was whipping around the track! Very happy with this product!
