A comment from the designer they left on Bricklink: "Hello everyone, Here are some answers to your questions and further information: The color hasn't changed (it's the same yellow and dark blue as before). / The locomotive can, of course, run on all current Lego tracks, but it's too long to fit in the engine shed (910033). / You can light up the headlight and the cab, which looks really great (pictures coming soon on Instagram). /. The front of the locomotive can be customized. That means the blue parts included are also available in yellow. / Different number stickers are included. So, for those who want to build a B-unit from the set, there are also stickers available. / I'm not currently on Rebrickable. That will change soon, though—I promised something here (keyword: B-unit), and I'll definitely keep my word. More on that in two to three weeks. Thomas" --- Looks like b-unit instructions are coming soon, and the set includes extra stickers for extra units. A nice touch.

Bricklink Designer Program Trains Sets | 2024 & Beyond
RedBrick1 replied to RedBrick1's topic in LEGO Train Tech
LEGO continues to be good to Trains fans with another fantastic release through the BDP. Description: "The Brick Railroad Locomotive is a tribute to its iconic American prototype, a machine that holds a firm place in railroad history. One of its most defining features is the rounded front with its prominent headlight, giving the model an immediate and unmistakable silhouette. One of the biggest challenges during development was the side color pattern, built entirely from arches, round tiles, and other brick elements. The combination of vibrant yellow and deep dark blue creates a powerful and cohesive appearance. For added individuality, the front section can be customized using the included alternative bricks. To ensure the locomotive can be brought to life later on, the interior is designed to support motorization as well as lighting for the headlight and the driver’s cab. Alternatively, the model can also be equipped with two motors. In any configuration, the locomotive handles all current tracks with ease and is guaranteed to stand out on any layout." Goes up for pre-order on June 9th at $119.99. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-8/2739/Brick-Railroad-Locomotive -
A lovely set. The container cars look easy to replicate, so it will be fun seeing the different cargos MOD'ers come up with.
-
A versatile set. A nice number of minifigs and the station platform could easily slot into most layouts. The saddle tank locomotive design works stand-alone or with the tender. This set is the closest thing to the MOT line we've had in decades. Nice shout-out to the previous line with the 317 numbering.

When do the early summer sets typically leak?
-
June/Summer.

Another Trains set joining the Vintage Steam Train on the leaks list. 60509 Port Freight Train with Crane and Truck. 803 pieces. $99.99.

I do wonder what 'retro' refers to. Retro in reference to real-world vintage, or possibly in reference to old 12V and 9V LEGO styles? Looking forward to this one!
-
Yes, the color scheme is very close to an Operation Lifesaver CSX locomotive livery and the locomotive itself matches a modern American diesel/electric locomotive very closely.
-
I'd love to see some 3d print designers come up with a wheel to fill this gap. Would a fun 'what-if'.
-
Pleased with the apparent demand for this set. Hopefully we get more Trek sets for a long time to come!

2027... a bit of a wait! Kudos to LEGO for using the BDP to give Trains fans the trackside sets that would never sell enough to make a full run. This is another instant pickup for me! -
