LEGO City Passenger Train 60197 Building Kit (677 Pieces)

The media could not be loaded. TRAIN! It's a Lego train, and if you like Legos, and/or trains, this is fun. It was fairly easy to build. Says 6+, a 6 or 7 year old may need a hand, but I can still see them able to do it with limited help. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the bags of pieces numbered. Each page only adds a few pieces, and uses clear pictures to guide you step by step.The motors have a good amount of power, and 10 settings for power/speed. If you crank it to 10, it is fast enough to derail itself around a bend, so I'm happy with the way these perform.While I do think Legos are pricey, they do make top quality products, and their customer support has been fantastic for as long as I can remember. Very very rarely have I ever had any missing or broken pieces, and they've never given me hassle when I brought an issue to them.If you watched the video, you'll notice I bought 2, and combined them. Neither set was missing a single piece, and as usual, had some extras. It is possible, and easy, to sync multiple "engines" to a single remote.

My son waited for 2 years for this train ( to be 6) and he was over the moon to get it for his birthday. The train took 2 adults and a 6 year old a couple hours to fully put together. The train speeds are ridiculously fast, as in I don't see why anyone would need a lego train to go that fast. If you speed it up too much the train will fly off the tracks, but if you stay at a normal speed it stays on the track well. It does require an insane amount of AAA batteries (10 total, 6 for the train alone). We have already had to replace the batteries twice in a matter of 2 weeks. I would suggest investing in rechargeable batteries to save money. The price of this train is also very good ( or it was when we bought it for under $150). Our 4 year old is also obsessed with the train and its simplicity to put on tracks and drive.

This is one of my favorite LEGO sets I can think of! The train took a ‘whopping’ hour and a half to assemble, and I took some time to arrange the tracks...so about two hours to set up. Remember, you need a lot of AAA batteries for this set, so keep this in mind when building it. I’m surprised that I haven’t had to refill the batteries yet 🤷‍♀️. The train itself has a pretty sleek and modern design that makes it way cooler than all of the trains I’ve ever seen in real life. It’s more like a high speed monorail, to be honest. The mini figures included were the only thing I didn’t like about it. They were just...average. I don’t think there were any new pieces, nor rare ones, as far as the minifigures. But, overall, this set was great.

The media could not be loaded. This took my 6 year old about 2.5 hours to build all by himself. He is good at Legos in general. He loved putting it together. It does take a lot of batteries. 7AAAs in total. Like most other Lego sets, it's well designed. Comes with a small train station, as you might be able to see in the video. The train can move at different speeds, the fastest of which is pretty fast! We bought an extra set of tracks. We might need more!

This is an excellent train set. Fun to build with my son and the quality is out of this world.

The pictures that the seller provided don't show just how large and well designed this train is. This is a very nice train set and much larger than we expected. See the picture I provided with me holding the engine in my hand. It's big !We also ordered extra track so the train could run around our Christmas tree.Linking the train to the provided bluetooth controller was easy. Linking the train to my iPhone using the Lego Powered Up app was also easy. (Although the train can only be linked to one of them at a time).Overall, Lego has really designed a GREAT train set. We liked it so much, we ordered the Lego Cargo Train set also !

I purchased the Lego Passenger Train as a gift for my 11 year old grandson who has wanted it for a long time. The price on Amazon was much lower than other retailers so this was a plus. Since putting it together we have purchased additional track pieces as it comes with just enough to make an oval and that gets boring quick. I was surprised at the actual size of the train cars...they are not small at all! We also added a light kit that was purchased separately. I think this is a great piece for the Lego kids that have everything and want something different. It is very durable when assembled, haven't lost any pieces yet!
