AgentRick Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Drat, now I'll have to get two of these. Quote
legomilk Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 hi I have previously reported that this year we will train through shop at home. I said a locomotion only had information but no one now is this picture from leaked. the corpse to me that it is a real set is all you never know. I go see if I get more info on where to find it.

MightySlickPancake Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 i think this is not a fake but the best train set since mid 9v. i think the motor is in the tender as like explaned in railbricks issue 5. also the front wheels are the same used in rc motor wheels. whether it is real or not i am running round my room singing. bang,bang, bang(neighbours) be quiet. eney way thgis is for me a must have although only having 2 semi circles and 2 striaghts it will be very hard for it to run. ps thanks for this info cant wait for more. cb Quote
BillytheKid Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 1st april? Well, I eat my vestas windmill if this set is real . Well, maybe not . Quote
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I hope it is real it is so large and fantastic, if so it blows my budget. I love the looks of the large wheels, great colors mostly I am thrilled that it is a classic steam engine. It will be a "MUST BUY" for all of us train fans. I cant wait to see what rolling stock, buildings etc TLG has in store in their train line. Quote
Zorbas Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Let's just hope this is the real deal and that we'll have new trains soon enough. Does anybody thinks that the train's photo (photo only) being larger compared to the minifigs means something about the set being real or fake? I still can't make up my mind. Quote
simonwillems Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 This looks fantastic, and I hope it is not a fake (it looks too professional indeed to be fake!) Maybe Emerlad Night is Lego's counterpart to famous trains like the Orient Express, or is it a real train from the past? I am too lazy for wikipedia-ing right now... I hope that this train, if released, will not be restricted to the new flexible tracks and that it runs on the 9v ones too. Can't wait till april first! Quote
snefroe Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 it looks like a "factory" product, i'm guessing it's genuine.. where the heck is our amb to conferm this... Quote
Lego12 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 That looks great! That is most likely real, because it doesn't appear to look fake, so I'm hoping that this is a real set. Quote
legomilk Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 as this set really is not factory set. there is no rails and engine but fall to me that new parts used. I saw on the Internet that this set will cost around 110 euro if it is real. but lego is busy everyone happy face different sets will be trains, city, starwars, castle, and much more. I wonder if there are more trains will Quote
Sammael Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Can someone explain what "flexible tracks" are? Quote
Dr. Brick Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Wow, that is lovely. It having only one coach is another reason it probaly isn't faken, it's just the thing TLC would do. I need a job... Dr. Brick Quote
Freddie Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Can someone explain what "flexible tracks" are? Track that you can bend so you can get curves to your liking. Well, I guess it is. Exactly what that implies, only TLC knows. Quote
Dennimator Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Googling the set gave me this:http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/27585/perma/1091006/ The comment at the bottom of the page dated January 30th (already?) seems to know that the price would be 1100 SEK (about 103 EUR), the release date April 1st. And these set numbers are also mentioned: - 8866 Motor - 8867 Flexible train tracks (???) - 8878 Rechargeable battery - 8879 "Fjärr", which I guess means "Remote"? Now, I don't know what to believe, but if the comment indeed has been posted that early, there might be something into this. Flexible tracks? What? 1100 SEK?? That´s very expensive. However, a very nice set(?), and if it´s real, then I´ll absolutely get one. Yup, ´fjärr´ means ´remote´. Quote
dhaas06 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 If this is a real set, I believe that it will not be the only one to come out this year. It looks to be the train only, with no rails, motor, or remote. Regardless of whether or not those things are available separately, Lego has always offered a "complete" set that contains everything needed to run a train. My guess is that this will be an exclusive (obviously, via the number), and it will supplement a simpler set that is ready to run out of the box. In any case, this is a Lego train fan's biggest dream come true! It even makes the death of 9V bearable . Quote
UsernameMDM Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Sorry, haven't read the whole thread, but I think it's fake because the minifig heads are missing the white pupil that all other new minifigs have. Quote
Darth_Legois Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 no, there isn't a set with this number.maybe you mean 10184 (town plan) or 10174 (AT-ST) also there are sets 10190 (market street), 10191 (star justice), 10192 (space skulls) and 10193 (medieval market), but no 10194 Oh really? I must've gotten it mixed with townplan 10184 Quote
simonwillems Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Sorry, haven't read the whole thread, but I think it's fake because the minifig heads are missing the white pupil that all other new minifigs have. That to me seems a non-convincing argument, how can you distinguish the pupils of minifigures that are in a low resolution picture...? My eyesight is quite all right and I can see either pupils or pixels when looking at the figures. Quote
Jedifireman Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I found what whomever designed this used for inspiration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A3...Flying_Scotsman Its the LNER Flying Scotsman Here is a tidbit of information from wiki: The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive no. 4472 "Flying Scotsman" (originally no. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of H.N. Gresley. It was employed on long-distance express trains on the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably the 10am London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman service after which this locomotive was named. In its career 4472 "Flying Scotsman" has travelled 2,000,000 miles (3,200,000 km). I hope this is the real deal because that Train is absolutely beautiful. Quote
MatthewUSA Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 This set looks AWESOME!!! Thank you for the pic. This is definitely one of the best train sets TLG has released in quite some time. I am very curious how the new power functions will handle with a locomotive so well detailed. I am glad to see that TLG did not make the locomotive look so generic like the My Own Train sets. This set looks like a definite good buy for all Train modelers. GREAT JOB LEGO!! Model On!! Quote
CopMike Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 it looks like a "factory" product, i'm guessing it's genuine.. where the heck is our amb to conferm this...Comferm you say, hmmm ........ ! I guess it´s the real deal ........CopMike Quote
gladiator Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) I believe its fake.. april mop? come on guys under 1085pcs, displayed some words that I cannot read, but its strange? can you see any other words in other sets except age, set number and number of pieces? please somebody contact to TLC to make sure it is real or not lets pray hope it real. because this set so amazing . masterpiece. I really love at the first sight. 100% I will buy Edited February 15, 2009 by gladiator Quote
Siegfried Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I think it's real TLG like to bring out sets that allow them to do small scale part runs of new or returning parts. This would be a great way to test out the new train magnets, wheels, and maybe even the motors... (I love the look of this set!) Quote
