Jays Brick Blog
“Train fans will be in for a treat with the model, which notably has been colour-swapped to blue, matching The Orient Express that’s more widely known in popular culture and is the current livery of the active train. The set also comes with 8 minifigures featuring a lively... More cast of characters, from an engineer, conductor, as well as guests on the opulent train.”

The Brothers Brick
“The set rumbles in with a 4-6-0 steam locomotive, a 3-axle tender, a restaurant car, and a sleeping car with two classes of accommodations. Nearly every Ideas set provokes opinions, positive and negative, about changes between the original submission and the released set. In... More this case, reaction has been especially mixed because there are significant changes.”
