Very nice review. The pictures were excelent as well, but im glad that you adressed the low number of crew members acompanying the set. It bothered me that we didn't get to have 2 or 3 more of them. Also wished we had 2 more cannons (for the other side) Overall though id say im very impressed with this set and as a result of that have no buyers remorse. The only thing i have wrong with it is the chest crane type of thing in the middle. I modified mine to have a net type of system like the 2009 pirate ship.

The reason i want 60052 so much is because of the story behind it. I live in rural Alabama and a train passes my town every once in a while it looks just like 60052 with it being modeled after a diesel train and all and the train is very close to my heart i remember hearing it back in middle school and longing that i was out of school. I dont really have that much of a connection with 60098

So heres what i was thinking.... Pirates has always been a great theme in my opinion but this first wave was okay. Just okay nothing more. I feel there needs to be a 2nd wave to go with the 1st. My set ideas were mabey a pirate hideout and/or base like forbidden island (6270). Another idea of mine was having a blue coat ship. Also a remake of sabre island(6265) would be cool. Also spanish armada and islanders would be cool to have back but i do not have any confidence in this idea actually happening. Give me this emoji if you show support!

The captain reminds me of Captain Edward Kenway from Assassins creed: 4 Black Flag

While i like this set, I can only think of what they could've done a whole lot better. First of all i would've liked it to be a whole lot bigger mabey 80 to 100$? Also ever since i heard pirates was coming out again this year for another iliteration I hoped for a remade fort elderado (6276) since the blue coats were comeing back. Also since the minifigures in this series are based on the classic sets i.e. RedBeard or Captain Roger depending where you come from.

You read my mind! I was thinking of getting 60050 if i was gonna purchase the passenger train. Thanks having all these pros and cons helps to narrow down which one would fit me.

Truly remarkable very magestic indeed.

Heres how the story goes, here recently i have been slowly getting more intrigued by the lego trains. However i have never had one and dont know where to start. I have been looking at the High speed Passenger train (60051) and the Cargo train (60052) which of these would you prefer and the pros and cons. Thanks!

I have been so called "lurking" around the eurobricks forums for about a year now, and have finnally decided to go out on a limb and make an account.
