“Looking at the box you must simply be gasping out of excitement when you see how many different models you can build with the parts in it. Use your imagination to create models which are not on the box! With all those parts you get it's not difficult. Anyway, it's a... More fantastic set that I want to recommend to people who have been LEGO train lovers for a long time AND newbies to this theme.”

HEINERs 9V LEGO
“The Swiss Crocodile is a real eye-catcher. But also the huge number of other train models keep you looking longer to the front cover as you wanted. An A2 poster is included showing 30 train models and giving the names of the designers (not specifically appointed to the... More designs). The reverse side of the poster has information about ILTCO, as well as about the 80 models, from which the remaining 30 were chosen.”

“The Lego 10183 Hobby Train is a creator train set from the factory line, designed by Lego fans for Lego fans. This set contains 1080 pieces, and of those 1080 pieces, you can create over 10 different trains, ranging from city styled train, to the coal trains of years ago,... More there are so many things to build its almost too much for kids to play with. That’s why this was targeted more towards adults near the end of the 9 volt line.”
