The engine has small leading wheels on a bogie to allow the train to handle curves, and six driving wheels connected by a rubber band in the section where a Power Functions motor could be placed. On 8 August 1989, the locomotive set a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive traveling 422 miles (679 km). Unlike the Lego kit, we’ve created separate coach compartments and three sets of Emerald Nights that are comparable yet distinct. This set includes a dining car, a tender, and a steam locomotive that resembles the well-known A3 Pacific 60103 Flying Scotsman.Similar to the A2, the tender features two ladders leading to the roof at the back and a shovel in the front. A small smoke plate is attached to each side of the front, and three little smoke outlets are attached to the top for a realistic smoke effect.

Light yellow and brown make up the majority of the color scheme, which appears harmonious and vibrant. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. The Emerald Night steam train is arguably the most classic and best-designed product in the Lego train series. This is the first official steam locomotive to have coupling rods on the wheels since the 12v era of the Trains theme. In 2009, as the original Flying Scotsman was being repaired by the British Museum, it was put up for sale.This is also the first train to have the new "large train wheels", four of them moulded with a flange and two of them moulded blind.

While the car is not available for purchase separately, it has not only stickers saying "First" and "1", but also extra stickers that say "Second", "2", "Third", and "3" for people who make their own cars or get extras. Nowadays, the connotation of the train has already transcended just being a mode of transportation and has grown to symbolize a variety of cultural conceptions as well as spiritual nourishment. This set contains a steam locomotive resembling Sir Nigel Gresley's famous London North Eastern Railway's Class A3 4-6-2 Pacific no. 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.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.
