Recommendation: yes 10 / 10 by Captain Zuloo

This was a brilliant build, and it's such an amazing result. The style of the 1900's steam era is beautifully captured. It's a very cheap set for what it is. Even though it includes no track or power, there is 1085 parts for the price of $149.00 AUD. Maybe not brilliant MOCing parts, but that doesn't bother me as it's such an awesome set that I have no intention of destroying it anyway. It is a real shame that there's not more than 1 passenger car as this train should be pulling no less than 3.

Recommendation: yes 90 / 100 by Brickdoctor

As a D2C set, this set is one of those special ones that does so much right. The only way you can not love this set is if you totally hate LEGO trains, in which case you shouldn't be reading this review or considering buying the set anyways. When all's said and done, the Emerald Night is the first set to score 90% or more on my rating scale where a set get's an 'Outstanding' rating for scoring in the low eighties.

I remember receiving this set as a Christmas present when I was 8 years old. My parents had purchased the appropriate Power Functions set to go with it as well. I spent all of Christmas morning and afternoon working on this magnificent creation from LEGO. It was a pleasure to build, a pleasure to play with, and a pleasure to own. I say this as it is the one LEGO set I have built that I have never disassembled for spare parts in my 14 years of living. Buy it, love it.
