High-Speed Train Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“Featuring 284 pieces, LEGO Creator 40518 High-Speed Train depicts a speeding locomotive at a smaller scale than the LEGO Group’s usual train models. At four studs wide, it makes for a displayable model around the home with details such as doors that stick out from the build... More and stickers featuring references to older brick-built trains and where it is heading to next.”
Jays Brick Blog
“40518 High-Speed Train is a encouraging reminder that LEGO have not forgotten LEGO train fans, with a small, but expandable High Speed Train, with a very contemporary and aerodynamic modern train design. At only 284 pieces, but costing US$19.99, this is a great budget option... More for LEGO fans or parents wanting to introduce their kids to LEGO trains, and you can purchase more sets to extend the train as long as you’d like it.”
