Ok, yeah I know, I kinda threw him in the deep end of the lego build pool, but I figured, why not, thanks to this pandemic, you have lots of spare time. Enter the locomotive. 15 (or so) build days, and now it proudly sits on a shelf, and he's already looking for the next one! He's hooked...even messing with my mom's build when she's not looking! (My dad is mid 60s and not detail oriented, so I'm sooo proud of him!)

The Brothers Brick

Recommendation: yes by Edwinder

If you're undecided and sitting on the fence on this purchase, the easiest way to decide is whether you like the finished look as you see in the photos here. If it does appeal to you and you have display area ready to show off to your adult friends visiting and could potentially be a conversation piece and share your love of LEGO, I'd say yes, give it a go. It's decently priced at $99 USD and while we don't enjoy highlighting the speculative nature of the LEGO aftermarket, train sets such as these do tend to rise in price quickly once they're no longer on shelves. So hesitate not, and get them now if you like them.

Brickset News

Recommendation: yes by Huw

I'm finding it difficult to say anything negative about it. Even the price, £90 / $100, seems perfectly reasonable for a 1271-piece set. Overall, a worthy addition to LEGO's loco shed and one that will undoubtedly be highly sought-after and revered long after its retirement.
