Brand Story By LEGO

Review: Huge LEGO Train Set for Huge Fun! - My kids adore LEGO and I've been happily playing along with their budding interest in the famed building toy since it was a childhood favorite of mine too. The LEGO City Cargo Train 60052 was something my wife and I picked up for one of our kids' birthdays and it was an immediate hit! -------------------- Building: -------------------- First, there's a lot to this set! With over eight-hundred pieces comprising a locomotive engine, two flatcars, a livestock car, a tractor trailer and a cargo terminal it took my little boys and me about a week of working on this train to get everything together and setup in our basement play area. This set is definitely beyond the capability of my kids in terms of assembly difficulty (they're still in preschool) but with some of my assistance, we had the train setup and ready for play in relatively short order. -------------------- Power Functions: -------------------- This kit contains everything you need to build the train and associated components including the items needed for propulsion and a modest amount of track right in the box! Compared to our other LEGO train, the LEGO City Passenger Train 7938 this set is much more detailed and includes quite a bit more track including two sets of switch track! The power functions are easy to setup and require AAA batteries that fit inside a battery box that rides along with the train. All of the power is supplied by the battery box meaning you don't have to fuss with low-voltage track like the older 9V LEGO track sets. The power functions all work perfectly and the batteries last an incredible amount of time. We've had our original LEGO City Passenger Train running on the same set of batteries for about a year and it's still going strong. I recommend investing in a good set of rechargeable batteries if you're purchasing this train as you'll need a lot of batteries - six (6) for the battery box and another three (3) for the little remote that controls the train. I'll also mention that one remote can be paired to two different LEGO trains. This is accomplished by connecting the IR receiver on the train the corresponding color, either blue or red, on the battery box. Then the train will be powered by either the left or right dial on the included IR remote (again either blue or red). -------------------- Cool Features: -------------------- There's so much to this set that it's difficult to pick one thing that's a standout "cool feature" but my oldest son loves driving the train around our track and stopping by the cargo terminal to load and offload cargo from the train. The gantry crane on this set moves along a set of guiderails and the hook is operated by using a small knob on the top of the crane to raise and lower cargo. We also recently picked up the LEGO City Town Cargo Terminal 60169 and it pairs perfectly with this train! Another great thing about LEGO trains is that they don't have to be driven by the power pack. Often my kids just like pushing the trains around the track on their own and running with their imaginations. -------------------- LEGO Track: -------------------- I'll just mention that if you're looking at this train you may consider buying additional track. The track included in the set is enough to get you started but probably not enough to get the most out of this train. Additional track components: → 7895 - LEGO City Switch Tracks 7895 → 7499 - LEGO City Flexible Tracks 7499 → 7896 - LEGO City Straight & Curved Rails -------------------- Closing: -------------------- If you're a LEGO collector or just looking to pick up a neat LEGO set for someone this is by far the best LEGO train I've used. A massive set that contains a variety of components and huge fun factor. My kids have been playing with this all summer without any hint that it'll get boring anytime soon. Recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what tracks can i buy to expand this set?  all of the sets seem to say "not to use with lego 9v trains" - is this set a "9v" train?**
A: The confusion about 9V vs. RC is easily cleared-up: 9V tracks were discontinued by LEGO in 2007 as they were proving increasingly expensive (they were metal and electrified, transmitting power to the train's 9V motor). Beginning in 2006 and continuing to the present LEGO has produced all-plastic tracks (no power runs through the tracks themselves) for trains that contain a power function (motor) within the train itself and are operated via a remote control ; thus the tracks are referred to as RC tracks. RC tracks allow for use of multiple trains running and various speeds as each train can be individually controlled (not so with 9V). All LEGO trains since 207 have RC tracks. Unless you are buying a vintage, retired LEGO train set from pre-2008 you needn't concern yourself with 9V. A simple way to think of the difference: 9V trains are like mono-rails (such as in Miami)  powered by the electrical tracks themselves...whereas RC tracks are like real trains, where the power is in the locomotive itself and the tracks are simply the "road" the train runs on.  Wikipedia article:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Trains

**Q: What is the radius of curvature of the curved sections of track?  (Or diameter of a complete circle?)**
A: Each curve is 22.5 degrees. The radius is 12.5in from the center of the track to the center of the circle.

**Q: what kind of batteries dose it take**
A: You need 6 AAAs for the train and 3 AAAs for the controller. Verify this by going to LEGO and looking up the power functions parts 88000 battery box. and 8879 IR remote. They do sell a LIPO battery but it is overpriced as all the charging electronics are contained in the battery.

**Q: Can anyone share the distance of the remote control? I have a setup that would require six feet - will this reach?**
A: Under normal conditions reaching distance will exceed 10 meters or roughly 33 feet. Bright sunlight, low batteries in the IR Remote Control, or blocking of the line of sight may also decrease reaching distance. An average estimate is 10-15 feet.

*by L***Y on May 3, 2016*

My grandson is a huge fan of LEGOs - the bigger the set the better. He asked for the LEGO City Trains Cargo Train set (60052) for his birthday. He was SO excited when he opened it, and wanted to get started on it immediately. There are 888 pieces in this set. There are so many details included in this set - the imagination can run wild with different ideas. There is a diesel engine, three freight cars, two flat cars, and one open top cattle car. There are also a large variety of extra props to add to the scene. The train runs with a remote control. It needs nine AAA batteries (not included). You might want to use rechargeable lithium batteries instead. They last longer and will be less expensive in the long run. It is worth it not to have to change the batteries so often. I would recommend this LEGO set for any child who is into LEGOs and who loves trains. They can expand their imagination in so many ways and make up so many stories play with the train. The train set can be left up, or it is easy enough to take down when not being played with. You man want to purchase additional track to make a larger set-up and to expand the corners for faster speed.
