Getting extra straights instead of curves is a good thing! You always end up with way too many curves if you have more than 1 train set

[TomKazutara]

Lego needs to do accessory packs for trains again.
Like Separate wagons of this one. (Or the passenger train)

I can’t be the only one who misses the diesel trains

[calvin.w]

Your set came with only 3/4 of the curve track segments required. :)

Even though you did not need the missing parts, I highly encourage you to contact LEGO Customer Service so they are aware of the error, especially in case it was not an isolated incident.
There should be a lot number printed on an adhesive sticker or near the bar code on the outside of the box, and that will help them to track where the problem occurred.

I have noticed this concerning trend about LEGO City recently, mainly that specific pieces are more and more interesting, having fabulous functions, such as a parachute, net shooters, stud cannons etc. while overall, they get... primitive, a prime example off being that now practically every car has an already done chassis, even the cars on this train seem very simple - with the walls being comprised of 3-element rectangles. What do you think?

8:31 That's a not-very-fancy way of describing that they just reused the same app from the Passenger Train with different visuals while not adding a light to the set itself. That, and many other choices, such as the plastic wheels, just show that Lego is being cheap on their sets, but expensive on their price tags.

Your reviews continue to impress. Thorough, constructive and informative... thankyou for going the extra mile

In my Assembly Square, the whole bag was misplaced with another bag from the same step (it was step number 4, and I got 2 copies of one bag and 0 copies of another bag). Lego support was very helpful in quickly identifying the specific missing bag by just a couple of pieces (I was missing a mustache from the photo guy) and sent all the contents of the bag to me as a replacement. I identified the 2 copies situation because parts from opened bags for step 4 contained 4 minifigure heads while only 2 were expected (and zero mustaches)

Adding the lights looks really good on this engine!!

So I finished this set this morning and I absolutely love it. Worth every cent.
But I cannot run the car transport wagon around my layout. I thought ground clearance was going to be an issue on my inclines but thankfully that's not a problem ( so now I know I can run the 60337 around it :-) The problem is the 8 studs with of the car transport wagon, it hits several pillars and buildings. So that is going to need some adjustment. The Reach Stacker is an absolute beautiful thing. Almost excellent set.

If you have added lights to the set, i am fairly certain you can swap out the clear slopes with trans-red slopes, and you will have rear lights but no front ones

Great video, and thanks for showing the light upgrade option. Just ordered the set together with the led addon. Thx again!

As a train nerd, I have noticed something. A bit unrelated as it’s about the 2014 cargo train, but that one, was the only LEGO City train seeming to be based off of an American locomotive, while the others (the 2010, 2018 2022, etc.) are based off of European locomotives.

I've been excited for new LEGO trains, but neither of these grab me. The 60336 is the better looking of the two, in my opinion, but the price inspires me to save my money for now. I'm glad they're making new trains, regardless.
Thanks for the overview :)

I have had a box of rails with only 1 rail in it and i have had with my crane that a piece was damaged, Happily Lego really helps with this and just sent me a new one

[nikerailfanningttm]

I remember my son getting sets 3677 and 7938. By far those where the greatest train sets from LEGO when it came to “battery powered” trains. Especially 3677, since today my son has a custom Maintenance Of Way high-rail built with the High rail from 3677. Of course the car that carried the high rail still exists in one piece as well. For set 7938, it was scrapped for parts for other locomotive builds.

[MakriaMicronation]

I got this for Christmas 2022 and I love it

[MickPlays]

Your set had less curved track than it needed and more straight than it needed

[Finnmarken]

Can't wait to get this one for my birthday! Great review as always!
