>>9391230Lego's non-city trains tend to have a shorter shelf lifespan compared to other sets in general
>Disney Train & Station - 2 Years 4 months>Winter Village Train - 3 Years 3 months (An outlier and only lasted as long due to being a Winter Village set)>Horizon Express - 2 years>Maersk Train - 1 Year 9 Months>Emerald Night - 2 years 9 months>Holiday Train - 1 Year 4 monthsIt's also a bit of a hard sell in most places due to being based on a Swiss train. It's an iconic locomotive yes, but it's a set that's only really appealing to established Trainfags like myself due to coming with
>No motor (Although it's built ready to be motorized out of the box.>No track (The display base doesn't connect to track pieces)>No cars to pull (Which would've gotten in the way of the display aspect of the set)I fucking love the set despite it's flaws (The gap between the cab and noses of the locomotive, the set's construction and Lego's sharp-as-fuck curves meaning they had to gimp the driving rods) but for an extra $60 you can get the City passenger train that comes with a motor, a loop of track, and parts to make three train cars.
If you like trains go and grab it before it retires and watch Jang's video on modding it to both run and look better. I normally hate Lego YTers (Jang, Tie, etc) but his video is pretty straight to the point.
