Best Recent Goods Train but improve electrics
This train set is the best goods train in recent years, mainly because the vehicles and features can be used easily in multiple around a layout. Signal cabins and level crossings can be similar in several places, the vans can be a fleet, the wagons make easy rakes. The cranes can be paired for breakdown train and the locomotives can run in multiple on the same channel. It also uses bricks to build the train and avoids a single-piece front end. The bricks are more versatile for reuse in different models. So good that I bought 4 of this set. Something we really want is the ability to run two motors from one port or to run two motors in opposite directions from one command with the handset, without using a phone. That would enable a single loco to have two motors for more power and a longer train. That was easier with the previous Power Functions system. Please make the electrics more versatile, perhaps add a 2-port lead with reverse option switch for one of the ports, so we can drive "simple" motors like that. The lead could look like a train motor as its ID (pins 3-6) and just reverse the motor connections on pins 1&2. Without that versatility, people turn to 3rd-party products and you lose market share. The same goes for needing a LiPo battery for the hub. Power Functions had the 8878 LiPo battery but Powered-Up is back to unsustainable cells. So a great train set but an electric system that needs improving.

Choo choo
I always wanted a train set as a child, but never had the opportunity. Now as an adult fam of Lego, I've been able to fulfil that wish, but with the fantastic added bonus of Lego. Great build experience and so much fun finally sending a locomotive around the dining room. Great set, highly recommended 👌

Lego Cargo train
Easy build for my 8 yo, however connecting the Bluetooth controllers to make this thing work is another matter altogether. This is the second train we have from the LEGO city collection and unfortunately the remotes done want to work at the same time. There are no installation instructions provided and this has lead to a lot of frustration on my LO’s part! What a shame the last part lets down the whole build. Also finding the train seems to fall apart easier than the last build too, have put it back together myself ensuring all clipped together properly, but pieces have come off a few times afterwards.

Gift for my dad. He loves it
He’s been happily building it since we got it for him. You need to include gift recipient options for parents and grandparents, fyi.

Great set
This really is a fun set to build . My first lego train set. Lego should use the Bluetooth controller the Lionel uses so I don't have to use my phone for the sounds . The reason I gave 4 stars is the locomotive... as an American , I hate the looks of European locomotives. Other than that the crane car is probably the coolest par of this set.

Great train
Whilst it has great features and I love the playability it could probably of been better with a cargo truck rather than a bank truck. But this really stands out when it passes around the table
