This set was never available in stores, making it exclusive to Shop At Home (except in Australia where it was available at Myer department stores). It contains 1085 pieces including 3 minifigures. This set contains an A3 Pacific type steam locomotive, a tender and a dining car. This set does not include train track and motor. However, it can be motorized by adding the new Power Functions XL motor, IR Speed remote control, IR Receiver, LED Lights and rechargeable battery box introduced at the same time with this set. The instruction of 10194 includes the steps of adding Power Functions motor. 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. The flanged wheels include a rubber band for the train wheels to grip the track when the power functions motor is implemented.
The blind wheels are made so the train can navigate standard LEGO curves. The train is composed of three portions: the engine, the tender and the passenger vehicle. The engine is the most important piece of the train. It is primarily dark green and black. The majority of the engine section is the train engine, while the back is a "room" for the driver to stand in. In the cab is a shovel and an opening firebox door with flames behind it. The wheels of the engine section are either small wheels which are independent of the main wheels in order to allow the train to handle curves, and two sets of three wheels connected by a rubber band in the section where a Power Functions Motor could be placed. There is also a smokestack in the front. The middle section is the tender. It has a pair of doors which can cover the "door" between it and the Conductor's cabin. It has a small ladder in the back and like the engine is primarily dark green and black. The final portion of the train is the passenger car.
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. The passenger car has a removable roof. It has four doors, two on either side, as well as openings for travel between passenger cars. There are seats inside, as well as tables, a cabinet and two spaces to hold the suitcases.

It was a fictional store in the movie, but based on FAO Schwartz toy store - on 5th Ave at 58th or 59th street. Was also in the movie "Big" (the real store that is).
thanks will ave to check that one out I didn't realise it was a fictional store used in Home Alone 2 - I always assumed it was the real FAO Schwartz! I have to say I was quite disappointed when I visited FAO Schwartz - the 'magic' I was expecting just wasn't there. From what I've read here, I believe the store was refurbished and hasn't been as good as it was before. Personally I preferred Toys R Us in Times Square, although it doesn't quite have the same nostalgic significance for those of us that loved Big and (apparently inaccurately) Home Alone! The 'toy store' in the Home Alone movie does or did not exist - it was a set on a soundstage. I've heard of splitting the atom. But Poppa has equalled, if not rivalled, this feat by splitting the Translucentlavender posts, both of which were identical, in any event. The joy of doing something on a sound stage is that you can be much more innovative in the way in which you move things around. Whereas, if it had been the real FAI Schwarz toystore, it probably would have been just as disappointing on film as it is in reality.
But I'm not a child ; so perhaps children would have a better idea of whether FAO Schwarz is all it is really cracked up to be. One attraction mentioned in this postMy iffy wireless connection was going so slow I hit the Post reply button twice...so Poppa has suceeded in posting in the time it took me to click my mouse button twice - truly impressive! Thank you both very much - not I truly live up to the nickname dubbed by my wife 'SUPERNERD!' when I saw this I was too amazed - thanks for pointing it out to the Forum. FAO Schwartz was, indeed, better before its reconstruction. There used to be a whole section in the back on the store just for Barbie things - it made a 7-year old me very happy. The sets for the toys seemed more elaborate - the last time I was there, there were no sculptures made of Lego, and not nearly enough robotic singing animals. Toys R Us Times Square has become the premier toy store in Manhattan, and it really tailors to children instead of FAO Schwartz, which seems tailed more to the adults buying the toys.
