This is a very nice train. The passenger and dining cars are very feature rich with lots of play options for kids. Despite the size of the set, it builds quickly and is very enjoyable. The length of each of the cars makes for a very long train overall which results in a tendency to slow down on curved sections of a layout.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted a Lego train set. Ever since I’ve started to get adult money there haven’t been many with the pizzazz that caught the eye of younger me like the emerald night or horizon express. That is until now. This baby is it. Low slung fast looking and the brick-built arrow on the engine is sick. The green glow from the rear of the running locomotive is a awesome touch in the dark. Oh yea it’s got headlights too.
