1st December 2023 LEGO has released the Orient Express Train set and it peaked my interest in all other LEGO Train sets out there. You don’t have to be an actual train enthousiast to fall in love with the LEGO train sets, so here are some fantastic ones for both kids and adults.
What makes LEGO Train sets so great?
Trains are great means of transportation but also to bring ‘movement’ into your LEGO city. Especially the motorized sets of wagons are fully manageble and an amazing detail for anyone. LEGO Train sets come in so many forms, sizes and colours that there probably is a train out there for everyone. Have a look at below list of LEGO train sets for kids and adults. In below list I have only taken into account LEGO Train sets that are currently still available on the LEGO website, so this list may come to vary from time to time.
