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

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.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

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

My son saved up all his birthday money to buy this. We just got it today and he waited all afternoon for the delivery. He is beyond thrilled. He sat down at the table and had it all put together in about 2 hours. It's pretty sleek and nice. My son is 11 and now he's saving up to buy some more train track. I wish it weren't so expensive, but he loves lego's and this was a real treat for him. I'm glad he could save up and buy this on his own.

My son really likes this train. He was almost 9 yrs old when he got it and was able to put most of it together by himself. He needed a little assistance with the electronics part and attaching the front/back of the train was a little difficult even for me. Like a few other reviewers have said, the train goes faster than the tracks can handle. If you build this on a table, it will end up on the floor in 100's of pieces. While the product is very good quality as all lego products are, i would not pay the amount of money some online store sellers are charging for these various trains. But i'm not an avid collector, just a dad buying toys for his son.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I actually bought this train set for my husband as a christmas gift. I wish that lego stuff wasn't so expensive, because honestly this was one of the best gifts ever. He loved it. . The train is a great three piece locomotive. It can move forward or backward on the track. You are given enough track to make a small oval. There are also several other pieces in the box. Makes a small station and some people. You can open the train cars up and put any people inside if you wish. . It took my husband about 2 hours to put everything together. So i would guess for a child, it might take 3 ish hours. Also, it requires a lot of batteries, hopefully, you bought some ahead of time. . Finally, keep an eye on the price of this set. It can fluctuate from time to time. Lego charges $150 for it. Sometimes on online store it goes on sale or is just marked down for random reasons. If it is on sale, you should grab it then! happy building!

My grandson, fifth birthday, received this for his birthday. He began immediately to put it together, with minimal coaching from his engineer dad. The train is up and running and looks and operates perfectly. Not much track comes with it, so we augmented with an additional purchase, but it is a great start and our grandson couldn't be happier, nor we. The 2 1/2 yr old gets to run it too- it's battery operated and safe. The train is large enough to be easily handled and is stable. Actually i think my engineer son sneaks in and runs it too: he loves all thing lego.

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.

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.

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.

F. Sally, Islington says

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.

V. Williams, Ile-de-France

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.
