The shaping on the train, especially in the front, is actually very nicely done. The designers put in so many details that they never really included on a City train before, but they did. Yes, the lime color is a bit exotic, but I personally don't mind it too much. I really like this new passenger train.
The way Ms. Hood described the front of it is actually pretty correct, that round section would open up to reveal a coupler so they could run them in doubles (or triples, too!)
Thanks for your review of this set Robin. I had been curious about this new Train (tho not out in the States til Aug 1) and now seeing your video has helped me to think about this more for sure. It does look pretty good and look forward to seeing your tweaks!
My favorite thing about the box art on this train set is the double-arched glass station in the background. I wonder if you could make a reduced version of that for Brick Nottingham. It would suit this wonderful train perfectly!
Wow, it actually fits on your layout! I really appreciate the comparison shots between the other trains, and I’m very eager to see what you end up doing to improve it even more!
I'm always fascinated when Lego put out something expensive and it has such clear design flaws. Obviously it can't be perfect at this scale, but Robin's moc trains show what can be done! It's nice to see a new front style and colour though, even if both are a bit much!
I personally really like the train. I think the colour choice is bold and makes it stand out. I can’t wait to your improvement’s. Also with the head, could that be a printing error?
Can't wait! I've been on the fence with this set so I wonder if after watching this review my mind will change! It does look nice but idk something is a bit off about it plus I have other sets prioritised.
Hi Robin, can‘t wait for a modification where you convert the engine car at the end of the train (yes, I will buy two sets 😀) into a control car, which has a normal cab but also includes seating. Same as you did before with passenger train 60197. That would be so awesome! 😎
A great review--can't wait for suggested modifications and improvements--especially to the doors! I really want full-height doors that minifigures, bikes, and wheelchairs can pass though, but with a different opening mechanism.
I don't tend to like opening doors, as long as they look like they would open. Easily done though with bars and robot arms like in any of the 8-wide jets. Check out some of their instructions!
@Robinhood Bricks I thought earlier in the week when you said something from lego was coming I thought you got the friends theater set. But this is even better. Keep up the great videos.
Excited to see the RHB modifications. Since it's lime it should be the conquest line. You forgot to open the naming game LOL . I vote calling it the Alien 👽 Commander and change the conductor to an👾👽 conductor
Wow, I'm really liking this new train the more I see it. I can't wait to see all your improvements my friend. I'll be sure to take notes. I think I would definitely need 2 of the sets to make one long high speed train. Fantastic video as always
Amazing not only the train but the amount of Lego sets you have .must of cost a heck of a lot of cash for all that ..I too love Lego but nothing to this stage ..fab
Hi Robin yay I finally. Got it. This passenger train. Saved $65 on special sale. From toy R us.just got it delivers 2day ago. Now building it. As I re Waching this vid again 😊 I am adding few extra touche s to it ..😊
I like the look of this better in your city than I did just seeing the pictures of it on its own. It probably won’t tempt me as I can’t justify another train - especially as I am just about to rip up what is left of the existing track for a revamp of Blockville’s Old Town! 😱
Hello, I love your town. How did you manage to get the little guys to move on the railcar, hooked to the big train that passes at the bottom of the yellow station, please? thanks you. It’s for my young son
I would get this set but I just don't have the room to add a new passenger train to my city right now when this set arrives in August for me. I will be getting 2 older train sets though this weekend that are actually the 2 remaining sets on my life long lego wanted list ever since I got into lego when I was 7 years old thanks to lego batman the video game from 2008 and those sets are 10254 winter holiday train from 2016 in and 10259 winter village train station from 2017. I always wanted a steam train displayed and to make it lego will make it even better.
That is the train I’m interested in. But you folks in Europe gets a head start with these new sets. In North America we have to wait till August 1st to get the new trains.
First things are first, ditch both the new wheels and the wheelchair access. Second things are second, upgrade to 9V if one has that sort of system. And third, do something about those new doors, really just not very train like, now are they? And fourth, will somebody please figure out a way to fix the new Lego City School? It needs both a roof and a wall on the second floor. Also needs to ditch the solar panels for Brickonium Energy Crystal Power Boxes. Yep, good job. In other news, would you consider a massive triple funnel, coal fired, minifig scale, unitary hull ocean liner for your city? I’ve got designs if your interested. A tad expensive, but that’s to be expected for something in the 1800 piece category.
I agree on the doors and the wheels. I have similar plans for those. Happy and very interested to take a look at the ship plans via email but no promises I'll build it!
Mr Hood your LEGO city is EXACTLY how a LEGO city should look! I have one of my own and it is vast, but your city is so dense and colourful with a very good balance between official sets and MOCs. One look at it and I can safely say it is my favourite LEGO city on RUclips! Quick question: what's it called?
Funny thing is, lime is my favorite LEGO color, and bullet trains are my favorite type of train, so this feels like an incredible set to me. I was saddened that a lot of people didn't like the images at first.
very nice review. I'm no train fan so it's not for me, but it's always great to hear the thoughts of someone who is not only a train expert, but a MOC train expert :)
Great to hear your enthousiasm about the new train!!! I just bought the yellow - blue one becouse I think this one is nog going to fit trough my tunnel. And fomo and it was on sale 😅
Great review and this set has surprised me, it looks way better then my first impression. I guess you already have a second set to make it have a front and a back; and you are already thinking to add a carriage with a panorama view 😃.
Hello mate, thanks for the great review, i just purchased one. Bit pricey as you said but it will be my first train. Hopefully i can get it right 👌 cheers mate thanks again
Great review - Personally have no problem with the colour... I actually quite like the lime green... however, I hate the look of the front. Look forward to your upgrades though. 👍
At last! Doors! We've built the previous passenger train 60197 and my then 7 year old said "but there are no doors ...." I've ordered this new passenger train and I'll see how east it would be to add the doors to 60197- maybe you could MOC it for us, as I feel you are maybe, just maybe, more experienced than me!
If you watch the next video in this series I add doors but they don't open. This is my preference. That technique could be used on all these trains. By the way, don't look at all your cars and trucks. Most of them don't have doors either!
@@RobinHoodBricks That makes sense. I watched your other video. I thought the doors "look" good. This is the adult v play worlds colliding. My 8 year old likes doors that open. I've got the Emerald Night carriage that has opening doors- why didn't they add those to the Hogwarts Express!
Robin. I’d love for you to show us what the new train base looks like for the passenger carriage. I was thinking it was just the same base that you used on your double decker carriages.
Hey Robin I’ve got the 2015 cargo train and want to get a passenger train, either this one in the video or the 2014 one off bricklink or eBay. What’s your opinion
Personally I prefer 60051 from 2014. It's the best looking for me, but this one is no slouch and comes with Powered Up. I think your wallet might decide. Two sets of this will be waaaay more than two second hand sets of 60051 off eBay!
This new train just screams inter-city to me so it looks like you'll need to get a second Lego room.😀
Good idea. I'll ask permission tonight. Fingers crossed!
He’s asked. Guess what my answer was? 🤨
@@mrshood3369 I'm assuming it was an enthusiastic "yes" 😂
Sadly not!
The train will have to be inter-house as well as inter-city. Now that would be a Lego challenge.
The shaping on the train, especially in the front, is actually very nicely done. The designers put in so many details that they never really included on a City train before, but they did. Yes, the lime color is a bit exotic, but I personally don't mind it too much. I really like this new passenger train.
I'm warming to it. The lime stands out well in a busy city too!
The colour is the exact same colour as the commuter rail where I live! Look up GO transit trains.
7:40 That one!
Buffet Lady faceprint decisions 😂😂. Alright alright, alright! bring on the Robin-style mods 😃🍿
The conductor lady face had me rolling on the floor, lol. Thanks for that Robin! Great review as always too.
Glad the joke landed. It tickled me!
just got it, the thing is fast easy to assemble with lights even. awesome, cant wait to do more.
Great to hear. Check out my other videos on this train like adding Jacobs bogies. Enjoy!
I think the lime color looks great in your city. You have so much color in your city and I think the lime is a great addition. Keep up the good work!
Yes, the line shows up well against everything else. It looks better than I thought!
Wow your city is amazing, what a great place to live for mini figures
Thanks so much. Yes, there's a lot going on, that's for sure!
Another train!!! At this point Its not surprising. I assume you can no longer fit them on the tracks all together.
No chance. Maybe if none are moving, just!
The way Ms. Hood described the front of it is actually pretty correct, that round section would open up to reveal a coupler so they could run them in doubles (or triples, too!)
Ahhh, makes sense. Good train facts!
i honestly thought it looked like a fish head
I laughed out loud near the end, when the new train came through the station twice in the time it took for the cargo train to pass through once!
I like it much better”in person”. With three more cars it would be a very dynamic addition to your city. Love it.
It's on its way!
Thanks for your review of this set Robin. I had been curious about this new Train (tho not out in the States til Aug 1) and now seeing your video has helped me to think about this more for sure. It does look pretty good and look forward to seeing your tweaks!

Your city looks great and the train really stands out among the other trains and buildings.
Thanks so much. Very kind!
Looks sick
2:02 aight imma use my tony hawk skills real quick dont mind me
Do you have a picture of Richard Hammond for your profile? Or are you a lookalike?!
@@RobinHoodBricks Yes I do have a Profile Pic of Richard Hammond. I wouldnt even have the skills to be a lookalike xD
I really like this train because they finally included doors for the train
Check out all the trains from the 80s and 90s. They had even better doors!
What an amazing city - much less the awesome new train!
I did a full tour last January!
Wow, it actually fits on your layout! I really appreciate the comparison shots between the other trains, and I’m very eager to see what you end up doing to improve it even more!
Just saw my son build the city passenger it’s so cool and the express looks great also bullet train I dig the colors
Thanks very much. Careful, buying trains can lead to a large LEGO collection!
Hi looks good at the moment
It's a fun video for sure. Funny too!
I'm always fascinated when Lego put out something expensive and it has such clear design flaws. Obviously it can't be perfect at this scale, but Robin's moc trains show what can be done! It's nice to see a new front style and colour though, even if both are a bit much!
Very true. I think the cargo train, especially that container wagon, is even less inventive. I'm passing on that one!
@@RobinHoodBricks me too. I love the forklift on the cargo train, but I've already got the yellow and red ones.
I personally really like the train. I think the colour choice is bold and makes it stand out.
I can’t wait to your improvement’s.
Also with the head, could that be a printing error?
I love the color
Can't wait! I've been on the fence with this set so I wonder if after watching this review my mind will change! It does look nice but idk something is a bit off about it plus I have other sets prioritised.
Well after the review video I plan to amend, fix and add to it to make it better. Then you might want it!
@@RobinHoodBricks Probably!
Hi Robin, can‘t wait for a modification where you convert the engine car at the end of the train (yes, I will buy two sets 😀) into a control car, which has a normal cab but also includes seating. Same as you did before with passenger train 60197. That would be so awesome! 😎
I copied that and made the same for our 60197- it's fab!
Love the train and the lime green

@@RobinHoodBricks To each his own!
Great review Robin can't wait till Friday !
@Robinhood Bricks I thought earlier in the week when you said something from lego was coming I thought you got the friends theater set. But this is even better. Keep up the great videos.
Yeah, I can't get it all at once so I figured this was more important!
O M G i love your lego room!!!!!!
Oh thank you. Check out my full tour video on 31 December!
Wow, it looks great, I wonder how it looks running in your city. I can't wait!
It... Looks... Awesome!
Hello it’s Adrian again
Your so lucky to have a new passenger train hope you will have fun.
My favourite things about this train are the doors and the front, they make it much more, well better
Hello everyone my name is Oumar and I'm a Robinhood Bricks addict it's been two days since my last viewing and I very much need another fix!
Lol you will be here a while
The lime train cars remind me of the ride I took from Utica to the Yankee Stadium, when they did add the food cart at Albany it was really that high!
Hi Robin, I am sure you will make modifications to it, hope your train will become a full train instead of a half train like that lego makes
Oh it will. The second half is ordered but not here yet!
I did not like it until I saw your first video on it. Now seeing it on your city makes me want to get a copy ASAP.
I wasn't sure either but I quite like it now!
Looks great in your city, I can’t wait to see what modifications you do to it!
Yes, several videos will be coming soon, starting Monday I hope!
Not bad. The fact that the carriages have doors at all is a bonus. I might pick this up discounted.
Cool city and train system
Thanks very much. Try the full city tour from January!
Love the train, just wish it came with a trailer unit!
That's LEGO telling you to buy a second set!
Excited to see the RHB modifications. Since it's lime it should be the conquest line. You forgot to open the naming game LOL . I vote calling it the Alien 👽 Commander and change the conductor to an👾👽 conductor

Hi Robin yay I finally. Got it. This passenger train. Saved $65 on special sale. From toy R us.just got it delivers 2day ago. Now building it. As I re Waching this vid again 😊 I am adding few extra touche s to it ..😊
Fantastic!
Awesome video and i can't wait to see your custom carriages for this new train
Looks gorgeous Robin, absolutely needs more carriages to fit it's zooming! Looking forward to it mate!!
I like the look of this better in your city than I did just seeing the pictures of it on its own. It probably won’t tempt me as I can’t justify another train - especially as I am just about to rip up what is left of the existing track for a revamp of Blockville’s Old Town! 😱
They often look better in a real life setting. Good luck with the revamp!
@@RobinHoodBricks the only thing I’m interested in is the minifigure with coral coloured legs for one of my ongoing Monofigure Habitats 😂
Do you want one of mine? I have a second train coming so could send it to you? Email me with your address, if you want it!
@@RobinHoodBricks thanks, that would be fab. Have sent you a message via Instagram as I can’t immediately find your email address here. 😃
It looks like a Japanese Shinkansen (bullet train). I really like that. Japan Railways is really top notch in case of trains!
Yeah, they are next level!
Looks really great, might pick it up, i hope the next lego city passenger train is based on either the class 43 hst or class 91
Fingers crossed. Check out my latest video for how I amended it totally!
I also was wondering if you made a HST class 43 British train cause I want to make one.
Hello, I love your town. How did you manage to get the little guys to move on the railcar, hooked to the big train that passes at the bottom of the yellow station, please? thanks you. It’s for my young son
There is a video for everything in my city. The pump wagon is on my Train playlist and shows you how to make it!
@@RobinHoodBricks Thank you very much I didn’t see. That’s great thanks for your channel 💜
Is it too pointy??!!!! Love it. I had same thoughts, glad it looks ok and will go round exisitng tracks!
Haha, yes. I had visions of it sweeping over all my details between the tracks!
@@RobinHoodBricks love the fact you did a simple comparison of previous trains. The new one is an optical illusion! It will fit!
Really appreciate the review Robin. This will be a fun one to get when it arrives in the states on Aug 1.
It's weird you have to wait so long!
Can't wait for the next video
I would get this set but I just don't have the room to add a new passenger train to my city right now when this set arrives in August for me.

One look at it and I can safely say it is my favourite LEGO city on RUclips! Quick question: what's it called?
Thank you so much. Very nice to hear from a dedicated LEGO fan. It's called Brick Nottingham as I am Robin Hood!
@@RobinHoodBricks Thanks for answering :-)
In vienna the CAT (City Airport Train) is also "lime" (+black +white) so the color does not bother me too much (or is it colour?) ;)
Colour for me. Yes it's a good combination that's for sure. Modifications coming very soon!
Funny thing is, lime is my favorite LEGO color, and bullet trains are my favorite type of train, so this feels like an incredible set to me. I was saddened that a lot of people didn't like the images at first.
Just from the thumb nail, I really want this set
Robin did they include an appropriately colored 1 by 2 tile that goes on the Remote like they did last time I must know
No, they didn't actually. Easily fixed though!
Now I can’t I see the snake head. Thanks Mrs Hood!
It freaks me out a bit!!
'Pointy-ness' was my concern, so thank you for the guidance there!
Yes it has a high hairline but the pointyness is at acceptable levels, haha!
very nice review. I'm no train fan so it's not for me, but it's always great to hear the thoughts of someone who is not only a train expert, but a MOC train expert :)
Good lego set
It sure is. And even better with my improvements!
I like your creations
The first time I saw picture's of this train I didn't like the lime green really, but like a fungus it's growing on me and now I want to get it lol
Great to hear your enthousiasm about the new train!!! I just bought the yellow - blue one becouse I think this one is nog going to fit trough my tunnel. And fomo and it was on sale 😅
Great review and this set has surprised me, it looks way better then my first impression.
I guess you already have a second set to make it have a front and a back; and you are already thinking to add a carriage with a panorama view 😃.
Suggestion: If you're making a moc of this thing, Try adding an abbatoir car for a dining car.
Hello mate, thanks for the great review, i just purchased one. Bit pricey as you said but it will be my first train. Hopefully i can get it right 👌 cheers mate thanks again
Be careful. Everything I have started with a white passenger train. It takes hold of you, haha!
morning Robin .hay he's got the new train in. 😊🎉👌💪the Lego .from Lego has arrived ..I get mine in 2 day s. 😊..
Enjoy!
@@RobinHoodBricks Shaw will thanks 😊👍 man.
I think that with the length of the nose, the engine carriage needs to be lengthened, it looks very short with the long nose
I think the carriages could be converted in to a wicked DMU!
That could be very nice, although a bit of a waste of the current locomotive. It'd also work better on 9V track so a battery box isn't required!
@@RobinHoodBricks The lack of a box would be much better.
I love LEGO
Idea: instead of another engine for and end car/wagon, you could put something different like a cab car.
U should make it eleven cars long (including locomotives) like the Avanti West Coast trains.
this set is nice, i wish i had one 😎
I feel your pain. It's a bit pricey!
This train is awesome! Too bad I will only be able to buy it in September 😂
Great review - Personally have no problem with the colour... I actually quite like the lime green... however, I hate the look of the front.
Look forward to your upgrades though.

At least, with LEGO, you can fix that!
I think you'll need more tracks!
Technically I do, but I've tried to build a balanced city and tracks take a lot of space!
Robin how many trains will be enough
Will you be getting another couple of these and making it loads longer
One more set and lots of mods!
Robin. I’d love for you to show us what the new train base looks like for the passenger carriage. I was thinking it was just the same base that you used on your double decker carriages.
The piece comes in 60282: Fire command truck.
@@_RandomPerson_ oh, so does it use 2? Why not just use the old train base?
@@bertkears6208 It has 4 (2 per car). Not sure why lego wouldn't use the old one.
wait wait wait a second, did they include a car front part as pantograph? not even a proper pantograph piece?
Yes, that's right. But it kinda works because it looks more substantial!
Hi how do I get my train to move. I’ve built it and connected the remote to my iPad but I don’t know how to get the train moving. Thanks
I'm no expert as I use Power Functions mostly. Good luck though!
Its only half the train to complate it you need to get a 2nd set of it.
Hey Robin I’ve got the 2015 cargo train and want to get a passenger train, either this one in the video or the 2014 one off bricklink or eBay. What’s your opinion

Are you planning on adding a second train to this one like you did with the last passenger train?
Yes, this week I think!
How would it stop at high speed when it is coming to the station. Mabye 200yd apart?
No idea. I just hit the red stop button!
If you think the front looks like snake and it being green, you should call the Serpent Express.
*I WANT MINE!!!*
August where are you? 😢
UK, we were June!
Looks like the Japanese Shinkansen
BUT must be much ,much more longer than the basic
You could call it the Viper
