The F.A.Q. for Lego City Trains High-speed Passenger Train 60051 Building Toy (6059265)

I purchased this as a fun activity for grandchildren to play with at my house. Assembly went well (two boys aged 7 & 12). When running the train, the middle train car kept slipping off the rail. We removed the car and two cars ran just fine. I called the 800 lego phone number that came with the directions. After a very long wait, i finally spoke to a customer service person, who didn't see any complaints on file. When i told him i would be returning the product to online store with a complaint, he suggested i wait while he spoke to someone who deals with train products. I waited some more and was told that there were some complaints and they found that the problem was with the front wheel assembly of the back train. There are two orange pieces that cause the problem. They would send a replacement piece in 10-14 days. The directions show these two pieces placed vertically under the large yellow piece. After talking to lego, i switched them to horizontal from the edge (touching the yellow piece) and the train ran perfectly. I don't know why that worked! the replacement piece should be here soon, but the kids were able to have fun the night we were together.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: If purchased along with the flexible tracks, would it be possible to use this train as a "christmas tree" train, by placing it around a tree?

(1) Question: Does this include the parts to make the train motorized? sorry that is weirdly worded.

(2) Question: Is this compatible with the flexible track sets from lego?

(3) Question: I'm confused about the tracks. some sets of extra tracks say they are not compatible with lego 9v trains. is this a 9v train?

(4) Question: I bought this train, put it together, inserted battery, switched it on to the same channel, and the light shows green; but it's not working, and run, any suggestions?

(5) Question: Is it motorized

(6) Question: Is this compatible with the cargo train set?

(7) Question: Is this compatible with 2014 cargo train

(8) Question: When running, how loud is it? i have a motorized set that is too loud. looking for a smooth and quiet remote set

(note) Question: where/how to get Lego (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Lego's products

Best lego city trains high-speed passenger train 60051 building toy (6059265) in review

I love lego city everything and this train is no exception. However, to make this product totally worth your time, i recommend also purchasing (at a minimum) the switch tracks and the flexible tracks. Some reviews state that the train flys off the track at higher speeds, which makes sense. But with additional track pieces, i've had zero issues. Furthermore, i modified the two passenger cars. For example i removed the tops of both cars so my kids could easily access the lego people. I also moved the chairs to the center of both cars. Again for easy access and play. Finally. I did not add the crew cabin (for lack of a better term) on the last car. I think it looks better with a main car and two passenger cars. Please see my attached photos. I am looking forward to buying more pieces to expand this train set! my kids love it!

So far so good. Put it together in about an hour. One thing that you might need to know is that the battery pack and duracells don't work good. Lego built the battery pack so that duracell batteries don't connect via the positive side of the battery. A simple fix was to take a drill bit and ream the holes so the batteries connect. Once that was done it worked fine. If the battery pack wasn't engineered incorrectly the review would be for five stars. Have fun and if you run this train on a table it might be prudent to glue the blocks as you go.

This went beyond my expectations. I have never seen a little boy so excited in my life. Once put together, the train runs so smoothly. It definitely needs extra track because of the speed. Can't wait to add pieces.

This set was well designed and was fun to assemble. The only downside i see is the responsiveness of the remote control. It's not exactly a high performance remote control vehicle. That's not really what we were looking for, though, so that's okay, i guess. Just be sure you have fully-charged batteries in the remote control, or you won't get very good connection.

As always lego is awesome! we bought this for our child's 10th birthday. What an amazing item this is. We also bought extra track to build an even bigger train track! thanks lego for a wonderful product!

Wow. This is one of the coolest toys ever. As a train enthusiast, i thought it would be fun to give my lego-crazed 7-year old son a train to add to his lego collection. I had no idea it would be such a sophisticated, well-built, high quality, functional train set. When i think of the garbage train sets i've bought him over the years, that lasted all of a week or two, i can't believe it. Those cheap sets cost almost as much as this, were much harder to set up and use, and fell apart in no time. . I am sold on lego. If the other lego train sets are anything like this, the other manufacturers (atlas, walther, lifelike, tyco, etc) are going to have some sleepless nights. This set is just incredible, and will dominate the model train hobby very, very soon. . The upside for that hobby is that it will introduce model railroading to a new generation, even multiple generations, and perhaps lead to a renaissance of that fabulous hobby. It may save us from the plague of video gaming that has led to kids the size of bison glued to their couches. You cannot go wrong with this set. As others have stated, they don't provide much track, and straight track is hard to come by and expensive. To resolve that, thanks to a youtube video i found, i've built track out of wood that works beautifully. Dona search for "how to make lego track" and you'll see how easy it is. We're now building a massive train layout in our backyard that should provide the kids much fun outside for years to come.

This is our third lego train purchase, and the best one so far. We added the lego light kit to the front and it looks amazing. The engineer is a very straight laced minifig compared to the freight train engineer who is always seen with a "coffee" cup in his hand. Although we all know whats in that cup. The safety record for this train line has been excellent, and the passenger approval rate is almost 90%. Add in the on time percentage and you have an amazing combo. Kit could come with a few more straight sections and some switch tracks to make it more dynamic.

We bought this for my son for his 5th birthday. We have had it for over 6 months now and it is still just as much fun as the day he opened it. My other kids 3 and 1 love to play with it as well and watch it zoom around the track. It goes pretty fast too at its fastest setting which adds to the entertainment. I wish we had more track but for now this is a pretty fun train and as hard a time as i had spending $125 for it i still think it was worth it.

I'm a huge fan of lego since i was kid, i wanna build my own mini lego city i would like left this as legacy for the next generation and make it more bigger the city. Worth it the price! but some suggestion will be nice and easier way to change batteries and slice the roof of the train also will be nice doors open for the passengers. Also will be cool they could add some light in the front train.

I bought this train for my 6 year-old daughter after having given another train, lego city trains cargo train 60052, to my 7 year-old son for christmas. My daughter loved my son's train so much that i though she should have one of her own. The passenger train is not as fun for my kids because the outside of the train is pretty plain and the track is significantly smaller than the one included with the cargo train. The cargo train also comes with a fork lift, truck, and a bull, so there are more things to actually play with. . This high speed train does have seats in the back two cars and the roof provides easy access. I noticed the front assembly has a set of small pieces that line up with the opening for the headlights so i tried some lights (lego functions power functions light 8870). The second remote knob turned on the lights and they were clearly designed to be part of this train. If you decide on this train, i suggest ordering two sets of extra track and the lights.

My younger son received the freight train set, so naturally my older son who loves trains wanted one. We got him this set and it works flawlessly. Speeds seem to be a bit quicker than the freight set, which is nice, but i feel you get more with the other set, especially when they are in the same price range. One nice touch is that the 3 cars of this set equal the length of the 4 cars of the freight set, as in prototypical life. Nice touch.

This is a pretty nice train set. The train pieces are pretty heavy. The engine has plenty of power and moves right along as long as the wheels have traction. It can go fast enough to tip off the track. I didn't find the controls to be very intuitive and there's certainly room for improvement. Learn to use the "kill switch" on the remote when the train derails or turn the engine off and on. . I'd generally like to see lego tracks be more sturdy so that they could be suspended without a lot of headaches. At the same time this can be a challenge and learning experience. . When you angle the train's long nose its the tracks causing it to derail. The station/crossing isn't built very well and just about every piece breaks off.
