Well this is strange... This is what Stud.io thinks Locomotive Stud dimensions : Length - 49.5 x Width - 11.6 x Height 15.3 : 1150 pieces.Coal Tender Stud dimensions : Length - 28.4 x Width - 7.2 x Height 12.6 : 525 pieces That seemed too wide so I built a frame around the train in Stud.io and the train easily fits inside a 10 wide box I tried including the image but I've used up all my allocation on one email post.

The carriages are splendid and will be left unchanged...

Lego train sets have always been a great starting point for more creativity! Every train set I own gets improvements, even if just adding lights! Quite some time ago I did my own 'Polar Express' train - Pere Marquette 1225 in Dark Green and Black to be precise. A great model and runs well on R40 corners and points. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-163401/TrainsWithLights/pere-marquette-1225-steam-locomotive-and-coal-tender/#details Following Lego's release of the 21344 Orient Express, a blend of PM1225 with Orient Express locomotive and tender parts was created! Quite the impressive train set, whether through the eyes of adults or children and a train robust enough to endure a rainy afternoon with the Grandchildren! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-165958/TrainsWithLights/pere-marquette-1225-orient-express/#details
