Austrian crocodile — “This is an imitation of the Austrian locomotive 1020. So the Santa Fe locomotives 10020 and 10133 are not the only ones that have a big brother in real life. Even the color scheme of the crocodile engine is like the one of the really existing original. However, in reality... More this engine also existed in green color. So it would have been nice if LEGO had also produced one in that color. But it is still a great set which looks fantastic!”

“Besides the shallow resemblance of a crocodile, it is also modeled after a real life train, with the same name, but they usually come in a green color, hence the crocodile name. The set includes 314 pieces, including a minifigure. This would make a great addition to any Lego... More train track.”
