The front of the box.
The back of the box.
The instructions and stickers came with cardboard protection like the new Pirates of the Caribbean sets. I would assume that this is only for the newer production runs of 10194 emerald night. LEGO is listening to us! :D
For those that want to power the train, instructions are also included on how to add power functions.
The Minifigures
We get 3 minifigures in this set. A train driver, a train attendant, and a passenger. Nothing too special about them. Let's move on to the train instead!
The Set
The front of the locomotive engine.
View from the side.
You can see a nicely built furnace at the back of the engine. You can also cover it up.
The opening tender car. There's lots of space here to add power functions.
The locomotive and tender car together. The cars are attached together by magnets.
Here's the passenger car.
You can open the doors on all 4 sides. In this picture, I only showed you 2 sides with the doors opened.
The roof can easily be removed to access the interior of the passenger car. For this picture, I have also removed the windows so you can have a better look. There are 4 seats and also spaces to hold the briefcases. To the left, there's a cabinet with drawers that can be opened. The only thing that could be improved here is space. There's barley enough space for a minifigure to walk through the aisle. Other than that, its very well designed and detailed!
The complete set with all cars together.
In the end, we get extra pieces as usual. But this time, we get 2 spare train wheels! :)
There are also extra stickers left for those that are planning to get multiple passenger cars.
Summary
What a superb set! I'm very impressed by its detail and accuracy. Its a very nice train and I would say the price you pay is well worth it. The build was quite interesting and fun. The only thing that bugged me was the stickers sheet. Other than that, I would say go get this set now before it gets discontinued!
