The fact none of the 12v sets are on here is crazy. They were arguably some of the most playable sets (or at least series of sets) due to their powered switches, signals, crossings, etc. The 80s and 90s saw the most diverse offerings to the Lego train lineup and they’re not even on here.

@pinobluevogel6458 2 ай бұрын

Out of all these, I can imagine this train coming out on top. It is barely available anymore though, which you could also see as a con. I'm a little surprised there is no 9V electric in the list, I love this system as a design philosophy, requiring no batteries. The track itself is rather expensive, but it can be bought from excellent 3rd party companies as well. That said, having the current RC system, which seems to work very well is probably the method going forward for quite some time now. I'm not familiar myself with the 12V system, but I hear a lot of positive things from train enthusiasts about that too, but like the Maersk set (which is probably excellent because of the realism in the design) it is very hard to get.

@xq1234wzts 10 ай бұрын

As a Steam Engine fan I could agree with Emerald Night being second, however I would add the previous (not 2023) Hogwart Express to the list. To tell the truth after COBI's TY2 steam engine I do not see LEGO being able to keep up with competition. The oversized Hogwart Express is 2 levels below what COBI has recently made. I cannot even put LEGO near TY2 as they look like cheap toys compared to that monster.

I just got myself that numer 1 train for Christmas, it is my very first Lego train. Always wanted one but they were too expensive when I was a kid. As an adult when I could afford one I was on a fence because I don't have room to lay it out. Last year I said to myself screw it and buy one.

@chriscummings4206 7 ай бұрын

I would be interested in what type of a LEGO train sets would you create. Maybe a listing of trains from $160 to $600. I would want a LEGO train with a nice switch Tower, maybe 16x10 studs with stairs going up to the switch tower and down below a break room for crews. A small rail Yard set with a rail yard office and a separate set that would be for Maintenance of Way vehicles. I wish Lego would make garage doors that were 10 or 12 studs wide and were completely solid (non transparent) and more like an industrial overhead door.

nr1 knight, one of a kind thing looking nice, nr2 blue cargo train (for the rail chain loader), nr.3 red cargo train for loader, nr.4 green cargo...what annoys me in current sets is lack of sturctures that are moving and doing something in place of few small cars/plants/banks/ car-loaders. The city express trains right now lack the end part and you are forced to buy two sets to make it look finished, something in past never happened.

3677 has the red battery box and the red loco windows both of which are expensive and exclusive to that set. 3677, Maersk train and the emerald express are all quite rare and worthy to be on this list. The rest of the trains on this list are average at best plus most of them run on shitty AAA batteries. Where are the 9v and 12V trains? Santa Fe Super Chief and its wagons? Burlington Northern Santa Fe I know it is just a loco just like 7750 it is worth a lot more than some of the trains featured in this list.

The green cargo train at the end and the orange passenger train (Not the Horizon Express) is what i have. And i have honestly not had a good experience with them. Like yeah they run well when they have power. But when the batterys are low they spass out. Only want to go 2 ways no matter what you press. This was also around the time when lego decidet to use powered up instead of Powerfunctions. And i still to this day do not understand that when PowerFunctions was superior in more ways than powered up was. And in my opinion still is. If it is because of powered up´s bluetooth feature. Why could they not just make a bluetooth brick for PowerFunctions? I mean they already figured out an IR Reciver. I just do not understand why companies see the need to reinvent a perfectly working thing. When they could just make another part for it. It is the same i see with modern train concepts. Like who told them to redesign the intire train. You already have a shell that works. And most diesel trains today are just generators on rails. Just rip the engien out and replace it.

Great choices! I agree that 60198 is a really great set: It's the cargo train I got. My personal favourite remains the 7745 High-Speed City Express Passenger Train from 1985 though, the one I got as a kid and stil operate today (although I adjusted it for modern power functions). It might look blocky compared to modern trains, but my nostalgia goggles see right past that.
