There are two Dark Orange containers. This is the first instance of the Wall 1x6x5 part in this colour. Regarding this set, I am very disappointed with the automobile transport car. It's way too high, specifically higher than the pantographs on the locomotive, which makes absolutely no sense. Something like that should have been noticed early in concept design. There is also no logical way for the bottom car on the transport to get out—the focus is all on the top platform, so maybe the entire thing should have been designed to be single-story.

However, I would have certainly appreciated more opinions throughout this review. Bar a couple of sentences here and there, the majority of this review reads like a description of the images. It's handy having the recolours pointed out, but what about the design of the train? To a non train fan like me, pretty much every one of these freight train sets is exactly the same, so it would be interesting to know what sets this one apart, or doesn't, besides simply the price."

Specifications

The open wagon makes very effective use of those 4x6 hinge plates from the Vidiyo theme, and the car carrier (like this year's passenger train) does a great job showcasing how useful that new-ish 6x16x2 2/3 chassis piece can be for train models. I'm also impressed with how unique the container wagon assembly is compared to usual City train cars, which are generally built on one large plate or some other dedicated chassis piece. Regarding part size, I have to imagine that the *average* size of a parts in each set is roughly the same across the board. I'm fine with larger parts being undervalued and smaller parts being overvalued. It's an approximation that some people find useful - which is very much the approach engineers take in the real world. I'm referring to design engineers, but quite possibly also train engineers ;) The male E-car driver's ginger hairpiece is a new colour and his face print is new. His torso has only been seen twice.

IEC 60336:2020 cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. A special thanks to the team at Toyworld Botany for supplying this set at a discounted price for review. Toyworld Botany is one of the largest LEGO retailers in New Zealand.

Summary

Now that they’ve making sets with sequences of numbered bags being opened at the same time, maybe they plan to do away with duplicate bag numbers. If they do, all you’d need to know going forward is the highest number…assuming all the bags are from the correct set. I am not a great fan of the Powered Up system. I had this train set up at a recent public display and was unable to pair up the hub with the controller. This could be due to spurious Bluetooth signals that occur whenever there are lots of people, with lots of smartphones nearby. The significant changes of this fifth edition with respect to the previous edition are detailed in Clause E.6. These changes are: Third, you will be able to modify the train to the then current motor, just like you can convert a 9v train to PF/PU. Cars will run just fine as is, it's just the engine that will need to get modified.
