“Perfection in its closest. This engine is the closest and most accurate one in the Lego train universe, as well as having a great playability value as well. The colors agreed with each other, the model had excellent form and the model had a unique style of trains to add.”

“The Lego 3740 Small locomotive is not really a train set, then again, it’s not really a addition either, it’s a bit of both in one. This is the "My Own Train" Locomotive Kits, the set includes 67 pieces. Unfortunately, this set does not run on 9 volt rails, or on anything... More for that matter. It is just push power. The default color for the 3741 Large Locomotive, and 3742 Tender, is blue but with the 3743 – 3747 sets, you can change the color of the train from anything from green, black, brown, and dark grey. There is a larger version of this train and that one did not run on electricity either.”
