With the City Train Starter Set, kids can operate the commuter trains that bring mommy and daddy to and home from work. As a part of Lego's City line, which lets younger kids imaginatively explore the devices and roles they see in our civic life, this set comes with 501 pieces and a three-channel wireless remote-controlled motor that operates in seven forward and seven reverse speeds. The remote controls the engine from distances of up to 10 feet. The first instruction booklet details engine car construction in 23 steps. Additional instructions detail construction of the passenger car and caboose in 19 and 21 steps, respectively. The completed model features windows, passenger seating and an LED at the front of the engine car that lights up when moving. The set also includes two passenger minifigs and a conductor. Inside the box you'll find four numbered parts bags, 20 track pieces, 2 6x24 flats, two molded plastic car ends, remote control, power brick, two electrical connectors, and a sheet of decals. Numbered parts bags make it easier to build the set in stages since the numbers correspond to discreet sections of the building diagrams. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. Between the engine and remote, the set requires 10 AA-size batteries, which are not included. The set's track pieces will connect for a roughly two-by-three foot oval track. You can make larger, more complicated tracks with the separately sold Lego City Straight and Curved Rails Set. --Porter B. Hall

 Excellent Product From Lego June 27, 2010
M. Harris
This train is so great. It goes fast if you want it to. It stays on the track very well. I recently changed my track from a race-like track to a cruvy, twisty track. I can still go fast, and the cars do not fall over. They can handle speed well. The station included is nice, but the big yellow one is better. It is good to buy extra track because an oval can get boring very quickly, but this is only a starter set. The remote is great as well. I am glad Lego came out with a train that is much more affordable than the 9v sets. With the 9v, the only pro that I can see is not having to change any batteries. But, the speed regulator must stay in one location, unless you want to move it to another piece of track. But then you have to worry about the wires. Thew 9v is good for someone who has a huge train layout, but still the RC can be just as good, or better. With the RC trains, there is a wireless remote, and the train tracks are less expensive because they do not conduct electricity. Rechargeable batteries are a good money-saving option. I have Energizer batteries. The train is quiet, but not too quiet. With the RC trains, you can expand your railroad much less expensively.
My son loves this train! February 8, 2010

If your child loves trains, this one is worth the $$$'s. It is easy to assemble but time consuming. Do purchase extra tracks along with it, switching tracks and at least 3 sets of straight and curved rails. Amazon doesn't carry the straight and curved rails but they are available at [...].

My 7-year old son loves trains. The LEGO City Train Starter set was a wonderful Christmas present from his grandparents. He quickly set to work in constructing the train and then put the track up around the Christmas tree in his room. Overall he is a very satisfied little boy.

My 8 year old grandson got this set for Christmas. He was so excited. He put it together in about 2 hours and had it running the rest of the day. He explained, in detail, to his 4 year old brother how every part worked and why it did everything it did. He followed the instruction book, page by page, and had no trouble getting everything correctly together. I think it is a great toy and a good teaching tool for the mechanically minded child and of course a must for every "train finatic"!!! Good choice Santa!!!!
Great model train December 30, 2009

We got this train for our 6 year old for christmas. He had the whole thing assembled and running in just a few hours. It's very durable and very realistic. It works just like his grandfather's real model trains.
