Description

A loco with real presence

The diesel loco is built mainly in dark and light bluish grey, with black panelling and red accents along the front and sides. Headlights, footplates, handrails and an open driver's cab give it a convincing look that clearly sets it apart from the smaller City locomotives. Like other large City trains of its generation, the loco is designed to take a separately sold motor unit, and it uses the same couplings as other City wagons, so builders who already run other City trains can simply add this one to the fleet and keep the whole line moving together.

Wagons built for heavy cargo

The train pulls several wagons: one carries logs, another mounts a small crane for loading and unloading, and others hold crates and containers. The load beds sit low so the cargo stays visible, and each wagon uncouples on its own. That turns the set into more than a train that simply runs in circles – it becomes something to load, unload and shunt around a layout, which is exactly the kind of play freight sets are built for. The crane itself can also be operated by hand, letting cargo be moved between wagons before the train sets off again.

Five minifigures on duty

Five minifigures come with the set, including train crew and station staff with matching tools and accessories. They spread across the loco, the wagons and the small level crossing that appears during the build, bringing the scene to life. Builders who already own a station or workshop can post the figures there, while the train itself runs as a self-contained highlight on the layout, ready to connect with other City sets already on the shelf. Their varied gear, from hi-vis vests to tool belts, makes each crew role easy to tell apart at a glance.

304 parts for other builds

Among the 304 distinct parts are plenty of chassis, wheel and panel pieces in dark grey, light grey, black and red that work well beyond the train itself. The full parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, so missing bricks are easy to reorder or set aside for other railway creations built from the same colour family. The gap between 984 total pieces and just 304 distinct parts also shows how many bricks repeat throughout the model, useful for anyone stocking up on a particular colour.
