Terrible derails constantly
on September 8, 2026
Posted by: TalentedVultrix078
Waste of money. Motorized it & it won’t go. Tried adding o-rings, still constantly derails
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice holiday purchase
on February 14, 2026

Nice little train. Only complaint was it didn’t come with the motor, and the motor was on back order until after Christmas (a month prior to Christmas). Otherwise, this set is great for what it is. A great addition to the holiday village collection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very disappointed with this build! Couldn’t get the motor parts since they weren’t available. This AFTER I already paid for it. LEGO should make sure to have enough parts if they’re going to sell something that has a motor!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wheels do not get enough traction
on January 18, 2026
Posted by: allplans1lego
Building this train was fine - bent flowers were a pain, and the train car parts get in the way of the couplers - but I was really excited about the moving smoke and polar bear. Disappointment. The train does not have enough weight for the moving part wheels to get any traction, so the moving parts do not move. How did Lego not catch this in development?

Despite rebuilding this several times, I was not able to get it to run correctly with the powered-up functions, similar to many others. This was extremely frustrating, however, the set does look great, and wasn't a challenging build.

This was purchased for my grandson. While he enjoyed the build he was disappointed that the train wasn’t powered. I hadn’t realized that the parts were sold separately. I don’t mind buying the parts but I find it unconscionable that Lego would sell the train without having the 3 necessary components in stock. Hopefully by next Christmas they will have it in stock?
I would recommend this to a friend!
