Opening The Horizon Express Lego Train Set
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2013
- It was my birthday at the end of August and I decided to treat myself to not just one, but two of these great train packs from Lego. Lego have called it 'The Horizon Express' but it's obviously the French TGV from the 1980s - a train that was a firm favourite of mine whilst I was growing up. To see this train recreated out of Lego bricks and even better to see it coupled up to a second set really is jaw-dropping. In this video I show you the contents of 'The Horizon Express' set as well as laying out the pieces, assembling each unit and then taking a look at some of its features.

Thanks for the detailed comment! I'll be sure to get some more Lego vids done soon. I think it will be a few normal reviews next, then some project vids and finally back to Lego again.
haha I can't help it - I genuinely enjoy that part just as much as the building too!
haha, I sure am! I've heard them say that too
I glad to see that
AAH...the days of spot-the-difference Legos...I miss those, but I love them
It really is a great model. Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it.
Great RUclips clip, I thought it would be fairly small, but using your hands as a comparison the set would be quite huge! Always a great review and huge thumbs up be me! I was in to Lego big time when I was younger but never ventured in to the Train Sector of the Lego! It’s been great watching you slowly put it all together! It’s never straight out of the box and run, which is what makes it stand out from just about all other reviewers I’ve watched you do! Love to hear your excitement and enthusiasm whenever I watch you! There should be two thumbs up for this Lego Set! Lego, where your imagination runs wild with endless possibilities! Well done for getting to the end! The ending had a bit of BTTF feel to it, where Doc wanted the train destroyed.... funny enough another Robert Lee Zemeckis Film, who also made Polar Express! Great ending!
I cannot believe how exciting your assessment of the lego TGV was. please keep up the fantastic work.
In the first instance I am a passionate lego train collector and what would make me very happy would be a review of the maersk train.
I know I'm being really cheeky but you are seriously a million times better than all the other reviewers on RUclips and I would not even consider asking for such a thing.
nice car design by the way, I have a degree in Architecture, and I use lego to influence my work.
many thanks
Very well done. My dad loves running this train along with his Harry Potter and Amtrak Lego trains.
i would never have enough patience to organise the parts like that!!
+The london and LU enthusiast Especially when there is 1000-2000+
Would jubilee've it! I know I would never have patience I thete
There
I bought two of these as soon as they became available on the website. Best buy ever!
This started out slow (a little too much repetitious talk), but once you got into the construction, it held our interest for the rest of the video. Thanks for making it!
Lego trains have come a long way, I remember when they looked nothing like real trains! PS remember to look behind you next time, and keep all the lights in the house on! ;-)
I once got the technic Unimog for christmas. It took me all day to build! That, I think, is the biggest Lego set.
Love your LEGO vids , you have a great voice for narration .😍😍 Wales .
A superb new addition to your collection mate! The two sets look amazing together! Can't wait to see it in action when it is motorised!
Another great Video InterCity82 . I am really happy that the IC82 The LEGO Collection Videos has started seeing as we have waited over a year for them to come out. I would love to come to your house helping build your LEGO Trains Sets, and to have a piece as well. I also loved the Creeper from Minecraft effects added into it, hearing the Creeper sound twice, and then blowing the Emerald Knight Locomotive. That was an amazing way for you to introduce you building the Emerald Knight Set on camera.
That Zombie Character blowing the Emerald Night to pieces was hilariously funny.
Zombie appears onscreen.
IC82 (watching in horror):
Oh no!
Steam engine explodes! Silence.
There was a lot to cover and I wanted to show it being built as well - so yeah, this one was a biggy - but the others won't be as big.
Excellent video, loved the stop motion and the ending, made me laugh :) The train itself and the level of detail looks excellent, much better than I thought it would be. Thanks for the many days effort in making it. I also liked how you kept moving the second box around at the start like you wanted to show the complete train but they aren't printed in opposite directions :) - Sim
Looks great, i can't wait for more! Cheers, Jack
haha thanks, and so am I! I just hope two motors are powerful enough!
That is funny especially when the creeper came in lool
Boiler pressure to high on the emerald express will booom!!! PMSL,great stuff!
Fantastic video well done. Loving you laptop. Liked the creeper blowing up the train. Looking forward to your next Lego video.
Great video! Looking forward to seeing the TGV running under its own power.
I have that book and another called "great train journeys" combined into one giant book, I think you are awesome inter city 82!🚆🚆
Thanks for your video, because of you I just bought two of these
haha, loved the ending! Can't wait for more!
thanks! Yes I love it, perfect for work.
HAHAHAHAHA That bit at the end was pretty funny. Looking forward to the next one.
Love the ending
Hello Inter City 82,
This is the TGV PSE (Paris Sud Est). This is the first version of french TGV.
The TGV Sud-Est fleet was built between 1978 and 1988.
He running on 25000 Volts.
Great Jobs!
Thanks for the comment!
+InterCity82 hi
NECTOUX Pierre
Brilliant video!!!
As a polar express fan, it's a Berkshire Locomotive, and although the Emerald Night "ALMOST" looks like it, you would need another set of drive wheels and switch the trailing trucks with the front (excuse the proper name) plus add about five cars behind and you will have an express
haha glad you heard it! I was worried people wouldn't notice it lol
that's cool. hope 2 see more of the Lego trains :) . i like the set out as well! :-)
Amazing
Can't wait!
The pantographs are designed to fall away if there's any kind of obstruction, that's why there are two, they are designed to fall backwards, so depending on the direction of the train is moving dictates which is used. For example (prototypically) the front (pull) engine would have its most rear pantograph up, and the rear (push) engine would have its most forward one (nearest coaches) up. If you have a play you'll notice those two fall back when you push them down.
very good love the video very funny end cant wait for more!!
WOW that's a french tgv in lego kewl :D
I remember when I got this for my birthday, think I was 10...was a good birthday!
Thanks for the comment! I find it perfect for doing work on my Ultrabook but definitely prefer Windows 7 for playing games on the desktop PC. I hear Windows 8.1 is just around the corner and should make Windows 8 much better - so we'll have to see.
It's not a bad book, perfect for quick browsing from time to time :)
cool lego set you are awesome
super video!!! keep 'em up!
haha thanks! It took ages to make that ending!
Love lego trains!
Yup! It has trains from around the world.
good idea!!
thanks ic82 u have real have me thinking about lego trains
I heard somewhere that the Emerald Night was based off of Gresley's A3s. German Smoke Deflectors defiantly helped with the build of this i must say. Great review though!
Well, doesn't it look like a Gresley A3 in BR Brunswick Green?
Another Great Vid!
Great ending haha
When it has a bogie shared with another coach it is known as articulated
a gresley design like the quad set at the North Norfolk railway
Most, most enjoyable...keep them coming.......
Love watching other people spending money....
Our taxes at work....
Creeper awesome ahah great ending I really want to build a massive Lego city with a mainline and airport
There ya have some serious lego brickwork will.like the interior detail with the passengers and stuff,thats just quality.I request a meat feast pizza will,then jobs a goodun!
me too! Two of them in fact. They're not trains and are more of a sort of monorail but I might have to do a video on them one day.
Finally a Lego video!
The Lego model is awesome. The only Lego Train I ever had was the first ever Lego Hogwarts Express, but that doesn't compare to this! You've really convinced me to nuy one, or maybe two sets. Also I'll keep an eye out for Creepers whilst doing it :P - Will
Nice Computer and sense of style!
haha thanks for the comment and glad you liked it!
As always IC82 A Amazing review,Thanks for following me on twitter.Also love the ending,And it really does look like thE Turbine TGV . Brandon :-D
Those pantographs on the TGV are a lot more complicated than I thought
On LGVs, high speed lines, only the rear pantograph is used because raising both would cause oscillations in the catenary. The front power car is supplied via a high voltage cable running along the roof, which the LEGO model correctly features :)
There are 2 different sets of pantographs for AC and DC depending on where it's running. On DC it has to use both pantographs, and both AC ones are used on lower speed AC lines
Nice legs!
From what I heard, the two pantographs are used at the same time because, at the voltages used, a spark on sole pantograph would cause a power surge that would damage the locomotive.
clever ending :D
Good vid man
yes that sounds good
The front pantograph would be for forward, and the back one would be reverse. This way you aren't pushing the pantograph, as it would cause a lot of damage. Thus you have to pull it. Hope that made sense!
Coaches sharing bogies (articulated coaches/bogies) are true to the real TGV, Eurostar sets also have this feature but it's quite rare in Britain.
Really wow atpfter all these years of train loving uv got a car laptop background
I definitely would recommend that! The 66 by Bachmann is a gorgeous model.
Your OCD makes me sooo happy :))
I love 💖 all your videos Intercity82 I hope you do a Winston Churchill Funeral Train review soon
what a great way to show off your posh touch screen laptop will XD
Each set was £80 so to get two cost £160. Money well spent I think - it's a lot of fun and looks seriously ace.
You must have had fun ripping the emerald night apart :D
haha!! it was hot! And thanks for the info - I knew some people would know.
LOL at 34:49-34:57! That creeper destroyed it!
i have that exact book from my local library i love it
thanks Dan!
Love it will
Thanks for the comment!
If you haven't motorized it yet, you can get away with just one motor. All you have to do is rebuild the dummy loco's front bogie so it doesn't use cross axels.
They have two pantographs because they run on lines with 2 different voltages e.g. 25kv on LGV lines and 1500v in Belgium. Same with the Eurostar.
The TGV has two pantographs so it can run at multiple voltages, because not every country has the same number of voltages.
Ohhh No Opps! Really good vid thanks
Best youtuber
CREEPER !!!!!!!, CREEPERS BE CREPIN AGAIN...... OW NO, REBUILDING FASE TAKE 2 I suppose for you and awesome video for your first lego vid and I will be waiting to see you in the next video, keep it up lad
I think what would be nice would be to put the 2 center coaches, and make them share a bogie, so prototypical, all the coaches share a bogie, instead of having bogies in the middle of the train, there could only be one!
Cool
I think if it did it would be even more expensive. I think it's cool for them to copy Hornby and Bachmann's business model of some train sets have track and then train packs featuring just trains and no track.
haha ace!
Good video Will
thanks for the comment!
Double pantographs are used for units above 8 carriages, for ample power and so that all electrics can be enabled. Nothing prototypical about it.
love it by the way love the minecraft server as well
ALL HAIL THE HST
cant say ive ever heard of the american big boy till you mentioned it
