Given that there has been a discussion on the prices of LEGO sets, I have taken a look at City themed Cargo and Freight trains over the last twelve years. I can make my own judgement about the locomotive for instance, but I'd be curious to know what a real train enthusiast thinks of it. Does it mirror anything in the real world? Does the colour scheme and shaping look good from a train perspective? Etc.

The open wagon makes very effective use of those 4x6 hinge plates from the Vidiyo theme, and the car carrier (like this year's passenger train) does a great job showcasing how useful that new-ish 6x16x2 2/3 chassis piece can be for train models. I'm also impressed with how unique the container wagon assembly is compared to usual City train cars, which are generally built on one large plate or some other dedicated chassis piece. IEC 60336:2020 cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

First, there're already third-party BT apps to control PU, both for PC and Mobile. Even if Lego will delist theirs, you'll find a way to connect and run the motor. I'm also positive someone will find a way to extract the latest firmware and update it via an app. Same goes to Mario. BT as a technology is here to stay, at least in our lifetime, and software can be re-written by fans. Regarding this set, I am very disappointed with the automobile transport car. It's way too high, specifically higher than the pantographs on the locomotive, which makes absolutely no sense. Something like that should have been noticed early in concept design. There is also no logical way for the bottom car on the transport to get out—the focus is all on the top platform, so maybe the entire thing should have been designed to be single-story.

Shame to hear about the trouble syncing the controller in a big convention/expo type setting. I suppose some of the strengths of a Bluetooth connection compared to an IR connection (e.g. having a greater maximum range, not requiring a clear line of sight between the controller and receiver, not experiencing interference from bright sunlight, etc) aren't always worth the trade-offs.The significant changes of this fifth edition with respect to the previous edition are detailed in Clause E.6. These changes are: I did have the 60337 Express Passenger Train, that uses the Powered Up system, operating without any issues. So I am unsure why I couldn't get the 60336 Freight Train to run. Then just ignore it. Easy solution. Some people find it to be a useful metric - I don't care about the horsepower of a car that I buy, but I understand why some people care, and I'm glad that number is reported for those who want to take it into consideration. There are two Dark Orange containers. This is the first instance of the Wall 1x6x5 part in this colour. I also wonder how sets like this will function when the software for them inevitably gets delisted or outdated in the next decade or so. ]]
