LEGO City Express Passenger Train Set - incl. a Remote Controlled Train Toy with Working Headlights, 2 Coaches, 24 Track Pieces & 6 Minifigures - Gift for 7+ Year Old Boys & Girls - 60337

The Lego City Express Passenger Train set (60337) was released in August 2022 and so is the latest passenger variant from Lego. Unless of course you’re reading this way in the future in which case it may not be. The train perhaps takes some inspiration from the French TGV or Japanese Bullet Train but has enough of a Lego twist to make it look unique in its own right. Probably also a good decision legally. Whilst it’s lime green colour might not be to everyone’s taste, it seems that Lego have aimed for this to be a more modern design compared to it’s predecessor (60197) which had more of an inter-city commuter vibe. The train itself consists of an engine / driver cab and two carriages, one for dining and one for passenger seating. The carriages are connected by traditional Lego magnetic train buffers, the roof is removable from both carriages allowing access to the interiors, and the driver’s window can be opened in the engine / cab. Both carriages also have opening doors on both sides which, I’ve been assured by regular commuters, mirrors a real train. The set also features front LED headlights, a nice new feature for Lego passenger trains, and again I can confirm this is faithful to a real train. The set comes with six minifigures which is adequate for the set. They’re nothing particularly extraordinary and include a train driver and dining car attendant, a woman with a laptop, a woman with a briefcase and phone, a woman with a bike and a man in a wheelchair. This gives a staff to passenger of 1:2 so I would suggest adding additional minifigures from your collection or your train company will likely face financial ruin. Build time is roughly three hours depending on brick knowledge and shouldn’t prove too difficult for young builders. The electric motor and battery unit is in the front of the train behind the driver and is accessed with relative ease by just pulling upwards which will bring away the unit and the roof above. Worth noting that you will need a Philips screwdriver to access the batteries so some parental assistance might be needed for younger users as I gather not all children possess screwdrivers. The train is powered by 6x AAA batteries (not included). The remote, another 4x AAA, so 10x batteries in total. This may seem excessive because frankly it is, but if like me you’re happy to pair a phone to the train and use the Lego Powered Up app, you can at least get away with just the six train batteries. You would think that Lego might have introduced a rechargeable battery pack by now, perhaps USB or similar, but maybe by keeping the set battery powered it future-proofs it for collectors? Or perhaps they have shares in a battery company, who knows? I used a popular name brand battery for my build (the one with the rabbit) and so far my train has been operational for roughly an hour of use. Batteries are available from Amazon. The set comes with 24 track pieces, 16x curved and 8x straight, allowing you to make a good sized oval straight out of the box. Track extension kits including points can be purchased separately and are relatively inexpensive (for lego). There’s also a small single platform station included, although with its lack of basic amenities such as toilets, wi-fi and name-brand coffee shops, most builders will want to add to it or supplement it with a Lego station set. The performance of the train is surprisingly fast notching an impressive 303km/h or 188mp/h in a straight line which is viewable on the Powered Up app, a very nice feature. Word of warning here, if not in a straight line your train will potentially derail at the top speed. I’ve only managed 50% power on the default oval track for fear of the train leaving its track and flying into the abyss (off the dining table). But hey, it’s Lego and younger fans will enjoy learning about the physics involved in driving a train and possibly rebuilding it. The Lego City Express Passenger Train is a must have set for both Lego and train fans alike. In fact it’s probably my favourite Lego purchase in years. Younger fans will delight in the endless playability and track designs. Older fans will be left with questions. Why didn’t I buy one earlier? Do I need a bigger dining table? Should I delay or cancel the train in a satirical nod towards real life services? Either way this set will not disappoint.

I recently purchased the LEGO 60337 City Express Passenger Train Set, and it has exceeded all my expectations. As a long-time LEGO enthusiast, this set brought the joy of building and imaginative play to a whole new level. The assembly process was a breeze, thanks to the well-organized instructions that LEGO is known for. The quality of the bricks and components is outstanding, as always, ensuring a sturdy and long-lasting build. The attention to detail in the design is truly remarkable, with every element of a modern passenger train faithfully replicated. What I love most about this set is its interactive features. The remote control functionality allows you to operate the train just like a real conductor. The lights, sound effects, and smooth, quiet movement make it feel like a genuine railway experience. I was especially impressed with the ease of controlling the train via the remote – it's perfect for both kids and adult enthusiasts. The passenger cars are equally impressive. The ability to open and close the doors, along with the inclusion of a platform and passengers, adds an extra layer of realism to the play experience.

It's a fantastic value for the price, providing endless hours of entertainment and encouraging imagination.

All aboard for an unforgettable LEGO journey with the City Express Passenger Train Set!

It's a nice train set, looks good and runs well. Earlier design faults have been corrected. But all Lego trains EAT batteries, so make sure you get rechargeables! I particulartly like that, unlike earlier issues, you can change the batteries without having to partially disamantle the loco. The additon of a dummy end car would have been nice, but I understand the need to keep costs down.

The Lego train is great to build and what you would expect from the Lego brand. Vibrant colour. Driver with the engine and then two additional carriages. The only downside is that you don't get much track so we brought additional track to make it much longer.

It is strong, a great toy, my kiddo loves it, you need to get your self a battery charger because if your kid is anything like mind you gonna be eating batteries for breakfast!

A brilliant present. The kids have had hours of fun.

Excellent price! Cheaper than anywhere else. Brilliant gift for my son.

Really good idea for 7+ The best Toy I ever bought to my kids Good quality

Excellent, the kids loved it. Adding batteries requires an adult.

Marche super bien , il va vite Cependant je conseille d'acheter + de rails pour s'amuser+ Il faut aussi beaucoup de piles ...

My 5-year-old son, who’s a huge fan of trains, absolutely loves this set .He’s had so much fun building and playing with it, and he specifically asked me to give it 5 stars .It's a great set, but It would be perfect if it would be a bit more affordable.

El favorito de los niños. Todos los niños adoran los trenes y más si tienen un motor y se mueve. Tuve que añadir alguno más a la ludoteca de LEGO, porque siempre había colas y niños esperando para poder montarlo. El ego la diversión siempre es doble puesto que después de montar se puede jugar, pero no sé qué tienen los trenes que siempre se hace un círculo alrededor del tren y niños, pasándose el mando unos a otros para ver cómo da vueltas.
