SpinX125 That blue emerald night looks really impressive, almost like the Tornado steam locomotive built here in the UK (it is the same class of locomotive after all). Also the door is not very sturdy as it is only held together by one stud on the outer edge of the coach car. The Emerald Night steam train is arguably the most classic and best-designed product in the Lego train series.

From the steam locomotive with furnace to the opening tender and dining car with removable roof, opening doors, and detailed interior, this classic-styled train is designed with a ton of stunning details. It's more than just a model; it's a shimmering representation of a time when rail travel was not just about the destination, but the journey itself, filled with luxury, wonder, and starry nights.Since then we’ve have a number of CITY trains and trains in other themes, but no Creator Expert-like trains. The train is a perennial subject in the modeling world, full of power and mechanical sense of modeling, and a vivid recollection of an era.

Similar to the A2, the tender features two ladders leading to the roof at the back and a shovel in the front. There are so many varieties you can build - make the appearance of that beautiful train as it suits you!

It can be driven by the new powered-up motor, the power functions motor, or the older 9v train motor. I built up a simple caboose design using the same color scheme with some of the same troubles as the coaches in terms of color matching. From the steam locomotive with its blazing furnace to the ornate dining car, every aspect has been lovingly recreated.It was employed on long-distance express East Coast Main Line trains by the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably on the London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman train service after which it was named. On 30 November 1934, the locomotive became the first steam locomotive to be officially recognized as achieving 100 miles per hour (161 km/h). Despite some notable flaws, the Night was very successful in introducing Lego fans to a new style of highly detailed train builds.

Meticulously crafted to capture the essence of a bygone era, this set combines the charm of classic train design with LEGO’s signature attention to detail.

I'm not a purist as I only got into Lego trains about 3 months ago however being a railfan and a railroader, it doesn't matter to me if it's pure Lego or not.Alternatively, you can rig your own lights, or you can purchase our KernowBrix Lighting Solutions, which does not need a cable from the tender and has its own battery. People can be upset and shoot me for saying this, but I purchased the Lepin version of this train and powered it for half of what it cost to get the Lego version.
