Australian YouTuber "TrainGuy 659" understands the simple pleasure that Lego can bring, and has dutifully shared a video of a ridiculously impressive Lego train set. Talk about sharing the love. The masterpiece of engineering, energy and miniature engines has already racked up almost half a million views. It's got everything: Lego, trains, an absolutely bangin' soundtrack, a cameo from a Christmas tree...

For questions, please call (630)260-8162.One of the nicest recent LEGO train sets is the #7939 LEGO City Cargo Train.
It was first released in 2010, it is motorized and includes a full set of train-tracks, plus a bunch of other extra stuff. The normal price is $180, and it is totally worth it. Please note that this set is soon going to be retired and replaced by the new #60052 LEGO City Cargo Train (video below) with similar features and another nice train, but for $20 more. To get rid of their old stock Amazon is having a 25% off sale on the #7939 LEGO City Cargo Train. This is a no-brainer deal on this very solid LEGO train set, and I would suggest that you take advantage of it while it last, and before prices jump up when the set gets retired. The #7939 LEGO City Cargo Train is still available at the Online LEGO Shop for $180, although it is currently shown as out of stock with an expected shipping date of April 14th. I’m pretty sure this will be the last stock available before the new #60052 LEGO City Cargo Train becomes available. Even at full price this set is wonderful for any LEGO train fan.
Here is the official description and details: Load up the new Cargo Train and send it down the line! Use the big crane to load and unload containers and cars from the train and container truck. Open the canopies on the engine to reveal the driver’s cabins on either end; use the 4-channel, 7-speed infrared remote control to transport the goods along the tracks around the LEGO City! Includes 4 minifigures: 1 train driver and 3 freight yard workers. Includes a full set of tracks: 2 switch tracks, 8 straight tracks, 16 curved tracks, 16 flexible tracks that equal the length of 4 straight tracks. As I have mentioned the #7939 LEGO City Cargo Train is at a 25% off sale on Amazon at the time of this writing for $134.39 with free shipping and no tax to most states. Please note that prices can fluctuate on Amazon quite a bit, so if you still see the deal when you read this, grab it! See here: LEGO CITY CARGO TRAIN ON AMAZON As far as the upcoming #60052 LEGO City Cargo Train it is going to be a great set, and in fact the two trains together would be perfect!
The #60052 LEGO City Cargo Train is also motorized with an 8-channel, 7-speed infrared remote control. It includes rail tracks, truck, forklift and cargo train station as well. There is also going to be two other train-related sets, the #60050 LEGO City Train Station for $64.99, and the #60051 LEGO City High-Speed Passenger Train for $149.99. You can see all three upcoming LEGO train sets in the following video: I don’t really care for the new high-speed passenger train, however both the old and the new cargo train sets are wonderful in my opinion. How do you like the LEGO train sets? Are you planning to pick up the #7939 LEGO City Cargo Train before it sells out? And are you looking forward to the new one? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! And you might also like to check out the following related posts: How do the costs compare between a railroad layout constructed with LEGO trains and a nearly identical layout using traditional scale models, such as HO?
I'd say that an initial HO scale set was probably cheaper than a LEGO version, although a direct comparison isn't easy, and it can rapidly get out of hand once you start adding more elements in. The closest I can find is probably comparing 7939 LEGO Cargo Train, which is currently selling in the LEGO shop for £130: With something like the GWR Passenger Freight from Hornby, which is selling for £80: I chose that one as it has the basic oval plus "Track Pack A", giving some additional track including points. Add a TrackMat accessory pack for £30 for some buildings or platforms and you're still cheaper than LEGO set. An entry-level set from Hornby with just the basic oval of track retails at around £70, compared with £102 for the Passenger Train set: However, once you venture out of the initial sets, go for the digital options, or move out of the "RailRoad" brand, the cost goes up to the point where you're paying £200-300 for an engine, up to the giddy heights of "Live Steam".
The comparison becomes even harder now, however this is where LEGO wins on price, if not on range. The LEGO shop lists a Switching Tracks set with a pair of points (left and right) and 4 curved rails for £16, compared with Hornby's price of £12 for each point - or £29 for a pack with a pair of points, 2 curves and 2 points. HO Scale will offer you more options in general however: Hornby for example have 4 different radii of curves, a number of different lengths of straight tracks, 4 different styles of points (Standard, curved, express and Y), crossings, and two flexibilities of "flexible" track (about £4/m compared with LEGO's £12/m), as well as a much larger range of locomotives and rolling stock.

You will never get the level of detail, scale or even perhaps value with Lego railroad sets as compared to normal model railroading but I just bought two Lego Train sets 7939 and 3677 and was blown away by the care that has not only gone into how they look but also how they operate.
