Product Information

Depends on how much effort and money you want to put into it and also what parts you already have on hand. There is a fire door that can be opened and the flames altered to run a cable for lights from the powerpack in the tender.

The set does not include train track and a motor, but can be motorized using the Power Functions XL motor, IR Speed remote control, IR Receiver, LED . Lego sets of this size and complexity offer a lot of rewards for the dedicated builder, because there is a lot of inner detail which is not visible from the outside that you are putting together during the building process. Additionally, you can tell the windows don’t exactly line up and the slight gap causes them to bow in a bit. From the steam locomotive with furnace to the opening tender and dining car with removable roof, opening doors, and detailed interior, this classic-styled train is designed with a ton of stunning details.It has a lot of pieces and is fun to build but potentially too complicated for, let's say, a 5 year old to build without a lot of adult supervision and help. If you look closely, there is a small gap by the window on the door as I couldn’t get that design perfect so it doesn’t look as smooth. This model was introduced as a part of the Trains product line and contains a minifigure of the character Railway Engineer. In 2009, as the original Flying Scotsman was being repaired by the British Museum, it was put up for sale. Finally, at the time I built this, the 1x2 brick with a Technic pin hole in the middle in brown was very expensive to purchase (for me).

Despite the flaws in design that I have pointed out, I think the train looks much better with multiple coaches and a caboose.

The Emerald Night steam train is arguably the most classic and best-designed product in the Lego train series.The Flying Scotsman travels on the East Coast Main Line, which was built in the 19th century by a number of minor railway companies. From the steam locomotive with its blazing furnace to the ornate dining car, every aspect has been lovingly recreated. I wonder how it would look using the dark green on the Emerald Night versus the tan and brown of the coaches? People can be upset and shoot me for saying this, but I purchased the Lepin version of this train and powered it for half of what it cost to get the Lego version.

Based upon an A3 Pacific steam locomotive, it took over a year and a half to be developed and included new, larger wheels and many other LEGO elements in new and rare colours. In the vast world of LEGO sets, the illuminated LEGO Emerald Night 10194 emerges as a beacon of historical elegance. I found a topic from 2013, even it may be a bit outdated, you can find some Emerald nights in different colors and also a cheaper solution for the cars.

As the lights cast their glow on the LEGO Emerald Night 10194, you're transported to the golden age of rail.

You can get a motor to replace the engine compartment so that the train will actually run on (lego brand) tracks. The two headlights can be illuminated as usual, and the wiring is hidden, making the lights look even more attractive.

And when adorned with LEGO Lights, the entire set twinkles with a warmth that brings those nostalgic journeys to life, making every component, from the carriage interiors to the engine's glow, radiate with old-world charm.
