23:52 thats one of the reasons why i want two of these sets. The other is, so i turn both locomotives into a 4-6-4 + make a bigger tender from that dinky little one. In case anyone is wondering, I'd use car #3 as a passenger coach and car #4 as an observation car. I just need to get the funds for one set first.

City names in a language that nobody knows, bad quality track pieces, bad prints on the locomotive, incorrect stickers, no motors or batteries and most importantly another Hogwarts Express locomotive design. Unfortunately, it's a very lazy design. But still asking for a 300 bucks, just terrible. Now we have to wait another 5-10 years to get a realistic train design or what? So sad...

City names are in language from the country of the origin. For example Beograd is in serbian, Bucaresti is in Romanian (although it should be Bucuresti), Munchen and Wien in German as it was on a Original. Now i see that "Bucaresti" is an error on lego side, because on the original it said "Bucuresti" as it's supposed to and Budapest should be after Bucuresti (although it would be weird because train first stopped in Budapest then in Bucharest).

@@oskarskalski2982 I can speak German and Turkish so I want to comment about them. ISTANBUL is not turkish, it should be İSTANBUL with "İ" and MUNCHEN is not german as well, it should be MÜNCHEN with "Ü". BUCAREŞTI is just on another level. I can't say anything about it. So, city names are not in their own language. It is impossible to understand the language connection between these. It should be new language lol.

@@bartuguney3989 Yes, you're right and I was fully aware of those differences. Maybe it's something about not being able to use special characters outside of latin alphabet. On the original train (you can find images online) there is definitely umlaut in Munchen although I couldn't see if the first charachter in Instanbul is correct. And there is definitely no special character in Bucuresti. So I would go on a limb and say that those names are written in native languages but without special characters (for whatever reason).

Thanks Johan, and thanks Sariel! This set is such a disappointment. While I do think the cars look fine, the locomotive is a bad joke. This loks like a freight or at best mixed use locomotive, one you'd only find in front of the Orient Express during shunting. Add to that poor QC on the prints, lots of stickers and that terrible base, and this went from one of my most anticipated sets to one of the biggest let-downs of the year. Some other brand that shall not be named also made an (obviously unlicensed) Orient Express set that blows this thing out of the water completely, for less than €200. And that one actually is motorized, includes an oval of track, and even has a smoke generator....

This thing reeks of development he’ll. At least the engine. Also, glad they included the classic empty spot in the tender car to allow for motorizing the train without having to use the engine (source: I motorized a train with the engine one time and it was the worst experience of my Lego building career).

The loco could have used more detail; it’s more like one to move an empty consist rather than for mainline operations. But I bought it for the carriages. Annoyingly, my set came with the yellow backed stickers instead of gold.

Your review is fantastic as always! Great job. However, there is something that has been bugging me. I know a ton of people have complained that the locomotive is not what they wanted and I don't want to come off as rude, but the more I hear it, the more it sounds like people are whining they didn't get the toy in the right color scenario. The original submission of the locomotive would have been impossible to work with the tracks(especially on the curbed ones). The wheels are not even on the rails. What I am trying to say is I would rather see if someone could create a locomotive that has more detail like the original submission but still be a reasonable design.

It's a neat set, though the attention to the cars over the locomotive is rather disappointing. The Orient Express is after all a train, not a locomotive, so I suppose that influence makes sense. However, the majority of people who voted on the set most likely voted for it wanting to see such an impressive locomotive turned into an official set.
