Description

A train built from several sections

A ghost train typically isn't a single build but a locomotive plus at least one carriage, each built separately and then connected with couplings. That spreads the 699 pieces across several standalone sections and lets you play with, split apart or rearrange the train in parts later on. For fans of vehicle and train models, that's a distinctly different building approach compared with one compact building or vehicle built as a single fixed unit that never comes apart.

Black, grey and dark red for the spooky look

The palette of black, dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and dark red deliberately sets a dark mood, matching the ghost theme running through the whole Hidden Side range. The dark greys and black form the train's frame and structure from the boiler to the last carriage, while dark red works as an accent colour on windows, trim or warning details. That restrained, dark palette sets this set apart from most standard, brightly coloured train sets from other LEGO® themes and underlines its spooky character.

Six minifigures for crew and ghosts

With 6 minifigures, the set includes both human characters and the ghost figures typical of the Hidden Side theme, styled and coloured to look clearly distinct from one another. That allows for play scenes where the two sides actually encounter each other on or inside the train, rather than just displaying an empty carriage. For a vehicle set this size, that's an above-average figure count that adds real play value beyond the build itself and its finished look.

254 elements for a detailed train

With 254 different elements across 699 pieces, part variety runs high for a vehicle set this size, which fits the level of detail on the locomotive and carriage: windows, wheels, couplings and trim each need their own specialised pieces in different shapes. The parts list on this page shows how those elements split across the four main colours, particularly useful if you need to replace a specific part of the train or track down a piece later on.
