LEGO City Freight Train 60336 Building Toy Set with Powered Up Technology for Boys, Girls, and Kids Ages 7+ (1,153 Pieces)

Product Information

Regarding part size, I have to imagine that the *average* size of a parts in each set is roughly the same across the board. I'm fine with larger parts being undervalued and smaller parts being overvalued. It's an approximation that some people find useful - which is very much the approach engineers take in the real world. I'm referring to design engineers, but quite possibly also train engineers ;)

Dimensions - When built, the LEGO City Freight Train measures over 3.5 in. (9 cm) high, 35.5 in. (90 cm) long and 2.5 in. (6 cm) wide Fun minifigure accessories – Includes a toy screwdriver, shovel, walkie-talkie, phone and fruit and vegetable elements

Toy building set for ages 7+ - This LEGO City playset comes with easy-to-follow building instructions for each model Shame to hear about the trouble syncing the controller in a big convention/expo type setting. I suppose some of the strengths of a Bluetooth connection compared to an IR connection (e.g. having a greater maximum range, not requiring a clear line of sight between the controller and receiver, not experiencing interference from bright sunlight, etc) aren't always worth the trade-offs. Then just ignore it. Easy solution. Some people find it to be a useful metric - I don't care about the horsepower of a car that I buy, but I understand why some people care, and I'm glad that number is reported for those who want to take it into consideration.

There are two Dark Orange containers. This is the first instance of the Wall 1x6x5 part in this colour. LEGO City playsets take kids to the heart of the action with realistic vehicles, feature-rich structures and inspiring characters. Kids learn about the world around them as they play out stories and scenarios that depict life in a fun and exciting way. Given that there has been a discussion on the prices of LEGO sets, I have taken a look at City themed Cargo and Freight trains over the last twelve years. Safety first - LEGO components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and analyzed to make sure they meet strict global standards for safety First, there're already third-party BT apps to control PU, both for PC and Mobile. Even if Lego will delist theirs, you'll find a way to connect and run the motor. I'm also positive someone will find a way to extract the latest firmware and update it via an app. Same goes to Mario. BT as a technology is here to stay, at least in our lifetime, and software can be re-written by fans.

This amazing buildable toy train set comes with an easy-to-follow building guide for each model for ages 7+. Kids can choose to build independently or join friends and family members for an awesome group build-and-play experience. I did have the 60337 Express Passenger Train, that uses the Powered Up system, operating without any issues. So I am unsure why I couldn't get the 60336 Freight Train to run. I can make my own judgement about the locomotive for instance, but I'd be curious to know what a real train enthusiast thinks of it. Does it mirror anything in the real world? Does the colour scheme and shaping look good from a train perspective? Etc. Another price per part analysis. Meaningless to me. You look at the set and immediately think of its value. Price per part is pseudo science as all parts are different. When you buy a real car do you divide the price by how many parts are in it? No, you look at features, quality, design, etc. And how can you possibly give the same value to a 1x1 plate and a Power Up hub? Can we stop the insanity???"

At the same public display I had many trains operating using the former IR Power Functions running all day without fault. When loaded, the cars pose a height hazard and will challenge train layouts that include bridges and tunnels.

I'm also impressed with how unique the container wagon assembly is compared to usual City train cars, which are generally built on one large plate or some other dedicated chassis piece. I am not a great fan of the Powered Up system. I had this train set up at a recent public display and was unable to pair up the hub with the controller. This could be due to spurious Bluetooth signals that occur whenever there are lots of people, with lots of smartphones nearby.
