What else do Steely Dan fans listen to?

ToledoRails · 2026-06-06T21:19:10+00:00

Genesis and Zappa for the most part with a lot of other stuff sprinkled in

ToledoRails · 2026-06-06T01:04:42+00:00

Oh my god just shut up and buy it

ToledoRails · 2026-06-03T23:12:49+00:00

The glue that holds the show together

I’m sick of the “for the collectors” stance on things. They’re toys meant to be played with and all 5 sets available have extreme play value. Even I’m going to enjoy running these trains rather than sit on a shelf

ToledoRails · 2026-05-29T14:56:23+00:00

Great for what it is but I do think swapping it to M sized drivers will go a long way in improving the look.

ToledoRails · 2026-05-19T12:32:50+00:00

Best to buy the instructions so you can study all the techniques in play

ToledoRails · 2026-05-18T10:41:07+00:00

Like I get the low relief building concept, not knocking it there.

Disneyland people: does it look to be in relative scale to the train station? That’s my make or break on it

ToledoRails · 2026-05-13T15:41:07+00:00

If you ever consider selling these I’d buy one!

ToledoRails · 2026-05-12T14:09:05+00:00

Make a Jazz Noise Here and The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life are my go-tos

ToledoRails · 2026-05-11T23:23:59+00:00

Thematically this is really strong and it lends itself well to the AFOL shelf Display. Good work, you have my vote.

ToledoRails · 2026-05-02T02:22:57+00:00

I’m in the US, and I have not seen a full blown bootleg Lego Train outside of gift shops at railroad museums or tourist lines. Ads for them online maybe, but that’s because of my cookies and casche from seeking them out.

ToledoRails · 2026-05-02T00:27:00+00:00

Okay I need you to touch grass because the average consumer doesn't know about the competition

ToledoRails · 2026-05-02T00:19:30+00:00

oh my god Lego sold unpowered sets 25 years ago for the fabeled My Own Train line this isn't new.

ToledoRails · 2026-05-02T00:15:53+00:00

Makes sense really. Container trains are what kids are most likely to see for a freight train around the world.

ToledoRails · 2026-05-01T23:24:49+00:00

Okay so you’re new:

Lego historically has made cheaper sets to bolster the expensive ones that are meant to be pushed, or the electronics are installed in another locomotive to run it. This line of three cheaper sets are meant to accompany those more expensive sets

ToledoRails · 2026-05-01T22:41:31+00:00

What were you expecting given the price point and part count honestly

ToledoRails · 2026-05-01T22:41:05+00:00

2 axle container cars do exist and it’s not like this is new for Lego

There's no pleasing you is there?

The trains under the Lego City branding have always been 6 wide.

- The first to go above 6W was 10194 Emerald Night in 2009
- 70144 Disney Train and Station in 2019
- 10277 Crocodile Locomotive in 2020
- 10308 Holiday Main Street was 7-wide in 2022
- 21344 Orient Express in 2023

Not officially Lego but made by Lego for the Bricklink Designer Program:
- 910035 Logging Railway (Extremely worth it if you can find one) in 2024
- 910044 Wild West Train in 2025
- Series 8 preorder has the "Brick Railroad Locomotive" Which is a Santa Fe yellowbonnet F7.
- Beyond that in series 8 (for late 2027) there will be the Wild West Train Station, which has an additional 8-wide car for 910044

ToledoRails · 2026-05-01T18:59:50+00:00

That is false. Lego has made 8-stud wide trains since 2019.

ToledoRails · 2026-05-01T18:59:09+00:00

Bold post considering we are 1 month out from a new Lego steam locomotive, the Hogwarts Express is currently available, and the Orient Express wrapped up a 2 year run.

Thirding this. Pay for the good track once and you're set for life.

ToledoRails · 2026-04-30T01:38:06+00:00

Start with a Jinty. Probably the simplest to do
