Actually the official name of the colour was "ozeanblau" (plus accents in "creme/Elfenbein" which was sort of a mixture between tan and light yellow), a colour not found in the LEGO range of colours. The next best thing would be dark blue. The 37.5mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5mm to 1foot), resulting in a 16.5mm ( 0.65in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435mm ( 4ft 8 + 1⁄ 2in) standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge into Lego trains would require a scaling of (37.5:1435=) circa 1:38. With this scale, a minifigure (height 4 centimetres (1.6in)) in real life size would be 1.52 metres (5ft 0in). This classically-styled train features a steam locomotive with furnace, opening tender, dining car with removable roof, opening doors and detailed interior!

Of course, AFOLs have built bigger and arguably more accurate and detailed models of this, and many other iconic locomotives, but I think this one strikes just the right balance between size and practicality. Following the Emerald Night, the new 88002 Power Functions-compatible train motor and controller were introduced in two 2010 sets, the 7938 Passenger Train and 7939 Cargo Train. This new motor utilized the universal Power Functions connections, used by all components. The standardization of the Power Functions system meant that any of the motors in the Power Functions line could be used and builders were not limited to using a single type of motor as they had been with previous Lego train systems.For comparison, the 10277 Crocodile uses a straight 1:1 gear ratio with a Powered Up Large motor and the same size driver wheels.

There's enough demand for 2 trainsets (one freight, one passenger) and maybe one more freight in a 4 year period. They're too expensive for much more than that.

At 45cm long this is the longest locomotive LEGO has produced and I think it looks excellent. The brown livery looks understated and sophisticated and, as Jamie said to us during our interview, it's a colour that is often overlooked and doesn't see as much use in LEGO sets as perhaps it should. There are at least 2 different versions of instructions for this set. The differences for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items section with Match ID 99. That said, it is my biased hope that this is the beginning of a new, regular line of elegantly-designed Expert-level, "18+" train sets. And if the history with the Technic supercars can teach us anything, it's that the next trains will be even more impressive and desirable, leaving this one (as pioneering and wonderful as it is) in the proverbial dust, desirable really only to completists. Designer Pierre Normandin has done a commendable job of producing something that not only looks good, but which can also be used as a regular LEGO train, on LEGO's ridiculously tight curves and points, should you wish. Personally I think it looks a bit daft when traversing them, but it's good that it's possible.

Embedded in the chassis is gearing which will enable it to be motorised. I will discuss this in more detail tomorrow. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Since we aren't privy to Lego's plans, who is to say this train stays available for 3 to 4 years before retiring and a new train is released? Similarly, this could become the new "Technic Licensed Supercar" thing and a new train could be released every other year, meaning this one would be gone after 2 years and indeed go up in value. It's a total toss-up, not worth buying more than 2 in the hopes of scoring a big payday. Unless you know you live around a lot of Lego newbies or just plain saps who will pay whatever you say its worth, Lego investment is a fool's game unless you just happen to have tons of capital already to throw at it.

Upload an Image in the specific color if you have one and the one in the above listing is not available. I completely agree on this - and I must say, it has become increasingly comfortable for me to do so. Folks do 3D print pieces that don't exist - and well, there is good acceptance and even the purist don't comply - as no LEGO piece was harmed. Then there are the professional injection molders - and well, folks go nuts about the quality. Would dark green have been better? Perhaps, but then 10194 Emerald Night was dark green so using it again was unlikely.

Much has been said about the brown livery and whether it's a bit drab. I thought it might have been, too, but now having built and displayed it, I think it looks excellent: subdued and sophisticated. In 2018, Lego introduced a new Power Functions system, known as Powered Up, or Power Functions 2.0. This system was brought to replace the old Power Functions brought about in 2007. This system was introduced with the Passenger Train (set number: 60197) and the Cargo Train (set number: 60198). In 2019, the Disney Train was released, with the motorised elements in the tender. In 2020, the Lego Crocodile Locomotive was released, designed to be motorised with Powered Up Large Motor, not the usual train motor. In June 2022 LEGO introduced the Express Passenger Train (set number: 60337) and Cargo Train (set number: 60336), also powered by Powered Up, which features the ability of the train to be controlled via Bluetooth and a smartphone app. For some reason there is no gap under the rails and the sleepers, which are formed of dark brown 1x4 tiles between the rails and 1x1 plates on the outside, do not go underneath them. Nevertheless, it looks OK. Now, getting the hands on an original LEGO piece is what? I am doing it the moment TLC is not doing it. So - making a half wide Technic beam in 13L is: Perfect. Look, the simple fact of the matter is: pretty as the Emerald Night may be, it isn't a particularly good representation of a steam locomotive. Just because it's better than the outright swill that Lego typically passes off for steam engines doesn't make it good in general - just in a relative sense. Given the price tag attached even when it was new, I took one look at the thing and started giggling. But I guess people are enamored of bright colors or something.There are several things that can drive up the price of a set. Rarity will do it every time, which includes having its production run cut short and leaving a lot of people scrambling to get their hands on a copy before it's sold out. If the theme is very popular, it can drive prices up just due to completists chasing anything they're missing. If the set is a really popular design, it can go up in price on its own merits. And, because these are all boxes of LEGO parts, rare parts can have a weird and unpredictable influence on set prices. Sometimes a rare part will drive the set price up accordingly, and sometimes the part in question can actually sneak up unnoticed and end up costing more than the set it comes in (I've actually just found two examples of this recently).
