Horizon Express Reviews
Eurobricks
“I appreciate what Lego did here, making a very different train from EN and Maersk, it's just not my cup of tea like those were (for the record, I own two of each of those - along with 7939 and 3677 cargo trains). For what it is, it's well done, attractive, and ripe for... More modding.”
The Technic Gear
“The Horizon Express looks awesome and it looks even better with two sets together ( it is a must really ). The model is expensive but at least the Horizon Express is quite interesting to build, not as much as other LEGO Creator sets like the Pet Shop or the Grand Emporium,... More but definitively there are quite a few techniques to learn here. As the set comes with no Power Functions parts LEGO designed some parts that looks pretty much like the IR receiver and a motor that it is as wide as the battery box.”
