Description
About this set
The Explorer Train is a remote-controlled LEGO City train built for adventure. You build an electric locomotive with passenger and freight cars, plus track and a trackside structure with a crane, a cave and a waterfall. It runs on Powered Up with an electric motor, and six minifigures come along for the expedition.
Rated 7+ with 1,517 pieces, it suits kids and families who love trains and exploring. The train measures about 70 x 8 x 6 cm. It’s retiring, so sealed copies will get harder to find.
