They still give full circles of track for train sets just not the ones that are not motorized as a way to keep down the price like the Harry Potter sent. You mentioned is over 1000 pieces. I can’t imagine how much it would be with a Full Circle of track.
Eh, the trains haven't been so good lately though have they? As in release times and whatnot, they used to do 2 every 4 years and a cargo train 2 years after the first 2 would come out, and if you wanna compare to what was available in the 80s and 90s... the stations, add ons, expansion carriages and wagons
I bought 3 Trains last year. The Cargo Train, a Yellow Passenger Train, and the new Green Express Passenger Train. All of them had full tracks. The UCS Harry Potter Train is pretty badass, just pricey.
I had that train too…idk why but i broke it down for parts and not even a year ago i scavenged some parts, images on google and i rebuilt it with a few mods and because i was missing one wheel piece i made something called Jacob’s bogies for it…works well, still powerfunctions powered and still awesome
I remember my most hated kid bringing this train to school and him bragging about it and that made me wanna have it too but i never got it but years later i luckily got a green cargo train from lego
Okay, to be fair that Hogwarts Express set isn't a TRAIN set, its a Harry Potter set that happens to be a train. The Hogwarts Express' purpose isn't to go around a track, it's purpose is meant to fill a scene within Harry Potter, and it was always like this since the first Hogwarts Express released in 2001. While the first Hogwarts Express came with instructions on how it can be powered, all other Hogwarts Express models that came out after it were never intended to be powered without personal extensive modification. However, you look at a modern train set, such as sets 60337 and 60336, its purpose is to go around a track, therefore it comes with a complete circle of tracks for it to go around as they are designed to be powered.
They make sets specifically for tracks that cost less than half of most trains but give tons of track, I got about two boxes and have more track than I can ever use
@@Nelson_is_coolThey are just regular lego city sets with tracks in them that you can probably find in most stores, there are two types, those with straight track and flex track and those with switches, I think both include four turns
As a train fan and model railroader I always felt Lego missed with the trains, at least the powered ones. I don’t know quite why, but they just never had the same play value as trucks or planes I guess
that’s the 2013 horizon express. that, the 2009 emerald night, and the 2011 maersk train are the holy grails of the power functions era of trains and are the standards i want TLG to have for all of their trains, especially any 18+ trains like the new oriental express is rumoured to be.
Actually that makes sense because the type of people who are buying Lego trains either already have more track than they could possibly use, or are willing to buy the tracks separately.
Bought a Lego train set for the kids at Christmas. Can confirm, it comes with a full circle of track! 😂 Also, goes damm fast at full speed, and the carriages fit Lego horses.
The original end of the 80's 12v was the best era for Lego trains. Remote contolled crossings, switches and decouplers, and with some simple mods remotely powerable track parts. Nothing after that comes close.
oh it is not just the amount of tracks... The tracks also went from being electrified with two metal rails and a central station that could adjust the speed and direction of all the trains on them to being solely made of plastic and the trains powered by batteries. And then Lego even started to remove the individual remotes for them, relying only on apps. That is of course, if you actually get a motorized train and not a display set that's meant to rot in some shelf.
Just for clarification: Train loops are only exclusive to the Lego City line, as they are designed with motors for play and are therefore useful. However, other train sets such as the Crocodile Locomotive, Hogwarts Express and most recently the Orient Express are meant to be for display (however with the option to actually run them on a layout), and thus only come with a few sections of molded tracks or a special display track built from scratch.
I remember when my dad bought me a set one time, it was exactly the train set in the video, and my dad also bought me a load of track pieces, it was so fun, and I could actually use the train with a remote.
even though you can cause a short circut with them (idk how it happens but apparently its a thing) theyre vastly superior to the plastic tracks, and besides they're more like real model train tracks in the way that they deliver power to the train
@@WesternMDRailfan It's very easy to cause a short circuit with them: Both rails are a different electrical phase (or one is neutral and the other one is "hot", I don't remember, but that doesn't matter), so you can't have a track layout where the two rails are connected. e.g.: A single track that ends in a balloon loop
I remember my grandma had this Lego train that would drive in circles on a coffee table during Christmas time. As far as I know it’s still sitting in a box in one of my uncles rooms
In theory selling the track separate is not only beneficial to Lego but the consumer as well.By having the track come separate collectors don't end up paying for track pieces they don't need. This also benefits Lego because on kit like the Hogwarts Express Warner Brothers gets a percentage of the profit so if the track is sold separately without the Harry Potter branding Lego is the only one profiting.
Mom still has all my old LEGO sets in the attic, I'm wondering if the freight train set from the 90's would still work. Had a big wired control box with a giant yellow knob. Crank that thing past about half power it would derail in the curves, it was pretty dang quick.
I had the Electric train set as a kid for Christmas it was my first Lego set ever I still remember the set number OVER 2 DECADES LATER set 4559 I remember also my buddy got the 4561 train set the same year we built both together over the holiday break
This is true, and I think that with some of the sets that do include track, it’s not even the usual track that you can connect with others and is just for a static display. Ik because of the crocodile locomotive that I own
I seen one of the most unique setups of a lego train set! The platform or table the train sert was on was made of legos too with transparent blocks revealing the subway lego train running in the table as well! 👍
It's only the smaller, non-powered train sets that don't come with full tracks. If you buy any of the ones that have the electric motors in them, they all have enough tracks to make one complete loop. You're just not looking at the right sets.
Honestly i've always preferred the playmobil train sets over the lego sets. One part because i like the bigger scale of playmobil compared to lego and another reason is that i had the older sets which came with a ton of things to play around with as a kid. My all time favourite train set being the set with number 4018 followed closely by 4019 (which had a lot more parts to play around with).
Sets like The Hogwarts express and the Orient Express are primarily pieces for collectors, they don’t come motorized so there’s not really a point in selling it with tracks, however that dose not mean they are incompatible with rails
Bro the new passenger train even has working lights. The train you showed is not part of the main LEGO City train line which has only gotten better. Motors are more powerful, battery lasts longer and now you can even control them with your phone. Lego trains are better than ever
I'm having 2022's Lego City express train and I can confidently say this short is too short and gloss over way too much. City train sets always have full circle track, with motor, and in the case of 60337, lights even. There are also trains mostly for display, which are either Lego gauge or bigger, and usually not include enough tracks. Heck, the one you showed at the first few seconds, 10233 Horizon Express, also contained no tracks, and it predates the 60051 you showed later!
I’m lucky in that my dad grew up with Lego and has a whole indoor Lego train system with the 12 volt brick with the pickups downside is that if anything happens it’s expensive cause people charge way more than what they’re worth
There's an impressive subset of people in the modeling hobby that use Lego. It's probably the cheapest option for the most part. If Lego leaned into that more they could become a legitimate competitor in the market
Track is expensive to put in a set, and so they only put it in sets that are motorized. To compensate, standard train track packs include both curves and straights (though fans are not too fond of all the excess curves - we just want to buy straight track!)
because that hogwarts express set isn’t motorised, it’s more of a play set

Not to mention the 30 odd years of lego trains that existed before the one he showed.
I got a Lego train three years ago and it came in a full loop, I can’t believe stuff this
The trains that are motorized come with enough track. That train isn’t and is meant to just be a model
They give you full track loops for City trains, just not for other sets involving track. Though the loops included have been getting smaller...

For Lego-compatible train sets, look for bluebrixx ... they have a relatively large choice of trains.

Compared to regular Lego train setup, Duplo setup is way more affordable, especially when you want to go all out with different rail configurations.
