legonerd54321 Posted April 20, 2019 It's now being rumored that set number '71044' is a "Disney Train," presumably based off the train found in Disneyland. Or maybe the monorail? It has a hefty rumored price tag of $320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I like the train at Disney World (Florida, USA) much better. The train at Disney World seems looks more like a train that would have been used 150 years ago. The one at Disneyland looks like concept art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to see a difference between them (other than the obvious) and both think they look amazing, how does the Disneyland one look like concept art??

It has a hefty rumored price tag of $320 Well, the Epcot Monorail would certainly be an epic groundbreaker for Lego in so many ways (and likely doable with that pricetag); but, one of the two Disney theme park steam engines is definitely much more likely, as it'd pair more fittingly with 2016's Cinderella Castle.

brickbuilder711 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Maybe a train with loop and Main Street USA station? Likely to be in VC since Robin W. (may he RIP) did a version in sand red years prior? Edited April 21, 2019 by brickbuilder711 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one at Disneyland looks like concept art. Actually, 3 of the 5 locomotives at Disneyland began life on operating railroads (scroll down to the rollingstock tables), but they have been heavily modified to the point where you would not recognize it. The first 2 locomotives (the 4-4-0's) were actually built in house by Disney and presumably if a lego set were based on the Disneyland trains they would be of the 4-4-0's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sed6 Posted May 13, 2019 How about the re-railer at the end of the track? Would anyone use that? I remember my old n-scale crossings had a re-railer built into them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can tell you that all the guys with those 8 wide steam locomotives will be looking forward to this for sure! Same goes for people like me that have wagons that are over 80 studs long ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vilhelm22 Posted May 19, 2019 The new space set 60229 Rocket Assembly and Launch has the Windscreen 2x6x2 Train in bright blue - a new colour for that part - dunno if that’s a lead on any new possible train sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The torsos of Conductor Chuck and Ms. Santos should also be fun for train builders. Not a whole lot of super clear pics of them out there but they do feature the LEGO train insignia.

legonerd54321 Posted May 25, 2019 I honestly think the Disney train will come with the locomotive/tender, 3-4 passenger cars and will come with a detailed Main Street station, along with tracks. The part count seems too high just for a train alone, and the price alludes to the addition of track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No prelims of the train itself, however there was the Goofy Minifig from the other day (Head and now torso/legs as well) and now a new Minnie Mouse fig, with what looks to be a fabric skirt piece. Both those figs are supposed to be from the new Disney train set 71044. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0Sch Posted July 19, 2019 Here is the first review of 70424: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-hidden-side-70424-geisterzug-express-review/83905 People on train groups are not happy about the new wheels and wheel holders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M_slug357 Posted July 19, 2019 4 hours ago, R0Sch said: People on train groups are not happy about the new wheels and wheel holders. Finally!! Up close pictures of the new wheels & wheel holsters... My Pros: - Individual wheel/axle combo makes for easy replacement if damaged or missing -Independent wheels *should* allow for better cornering on tight r40 curves -Assuming axles are bar sized, wheels have potential usage in different styles of bogies, as well as outside of trains altogether -Wheel holsters now have a 2x3 plates’ worth of anti-studs on the underside -Potential for new color options, if utilized outside of train sets My Cons: -Plastic on plastic will lead to higher friction and more chaff produced, so longer & heavier cars will have a tough time -Older versions of wheels & holsters will increase in price & scarcity -If axles are not bar sized...! -Weird stopper/ collar bit on the backside of the axles which seems unnecessary -Potentially easier for wheels to arrive/become damaged -If recolors & external usage don’t occur with +/- a year But those are just my thoughts...
