“A replica of the real engine that operated on the railroads of America, this Maersk train features exceptional detailing and functions, such as opening driver's cab, removable side panel revealing a detailed, 16-cylinder engine, and authentic Maersk branding. The model also... More includes 2 wagons and 3 containers with opening doors (1 with refrigeration detailing).”

American Train, Danish Shipping Company, and Everybody's Favorite Building Toy — “The Maersk Train is an excellent looking model. Put side to side with my HO model of a similar locomotive it is clear the Maersk engine is a great rendition of a GP series locomotive. The Maersk Train is the best Lego depiction of American railroading since the BNSF loco.... More Arguably it is the best depiction of American Railroading Lego has ever made.”
