With the City Train Starter Set, kids can operate the commuter trains that bring mommy and daddy to and home from work. As a part of Lego’s City line, which lets younger kids imaginatively explore the devices and roles they see in our civic life, this set comes with 501 pieces and a three-channel wireless remote-controlled motor that operates in seven forward and seven reverse speeds. The remote controls the engine from distances of up to 10 feet. The first instruction booklet details engine car construction in 23 steps. Additional instructions detail construction of the passenger car and caboose in 19 and 21 steps, respectively. The completed model features windows, passenger seating and an LED at the front of the engine car that lights up when moving. The set also includes two passenger minifigs and a conductor. Inside the box you’ll find four numbered parts bags, 20 track pieces, 2 6×24 flats, two molded plastic car ends, remote control, power brick, two electrical connectors, and a sheet of decals. Numbered parts bags make it easier to build the set in stages since the numbers correspond to discreet sections of the building diagrams. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. Between the engine and remote, the set requires 10 AA-size batteries, which are not included. The set’s track pieces will connect for a roughly two-by-three foot oval track. You can make larger, more complicated tracks with the separately sold Lego City Straight and Curved Rails Set. –Porter B. Hall
