The Minifigures are all extremely desirable, and trains are always popular, particularly when they are as impressive as this model is. The train is shown on track with the usual liberties in how things are happening - for example, the horse cannot stand in that pose without falling over. I should imagine that both of these functions will be taken from the scene in the film, but we will see. A water tower also features which can be knocked down using a level (cleverly disguised as an explosive plunger) to block the track, spilling four blue cylinders which represent water. The boiler is MUCH bigger, but again, I'm impressed that the Constitution doesn't look bad in comparison!

It always seemed flimsy to me, and it was annoying to push around by hand since both sets of wheels are articulated on that locomotive. I would also add led lights to the light in front of the funnel, if a way to house them can be found and the wires hidden in the boiler.All the instructions are clear and simple to follow, as long as you actually pay attention to the part box to make sure you do everything you're supposed to on each step. Lego was really trying to save space to give the train as much room as possible on the front though, so they cut the legs off all the figs! It's pretty much the only weakness I can see though, and surely it'd be easy enough to come up with a different design for it.

There is room inside the car to add it and the wire can run through the existing hole where the lever is. I learn from others and sometimes a connection trips something in my brain that can be used in other applications.

Judging by the trailer, I can't help noticing that the 'Lone' Ranger isn't actually 'alone' for most of the film. First, a crank is built (that tan crankshaft part is pretty rare in this color) with a gear and a towball as a handle. The outside has some dynamite attached - combined with the lever sticking out of the roof at you have the nearly-mandatory-for-Lego-sets knock-out wall. I enjoyed building this set, thanks in part to the fact that this is a train, and I always enjoy building LEGO trains. A better option might be to make a larger boxcar and use that for power, since you could put the motor underneath and the battery and IR receiver inside.

I haven't run it on track but I'm sure it would run fine - the trick is there's no simple mod to motorize it as is.
