Building set with a train model for children and railway enthusiasts. The Express Train (60337) building set from LEGO® City includes a remotely controlled locomotive with LEGO® Powered Up technology and functional headlights, a dining car and passenger car, a platform, 24 track pieces and 6 minifigures, with which train lovers can look forward to countless railway adventures.

LEGO® City 60337 Express Train is a modern building set that brings the dynamics of urban transport and the joy of realistic rail operation to a child's room. The model is designed to feel like a real express train: elegant shapes, a sense of speed and an entire travel theme that fits perfectly within LEGO® City. The train naturally becomes the centrepiece of play, as you can easily build a station, platform, urban landscape and additional vehicles around it. The fun comes in two stages: first the building, during which children practise patience and following instructions step by step, and then the actual play, where imagination runs at full speed. The set also works well as a standout gift – the railway theme is timeless and typically captivates children across all ages, because it offers "real movement" and the feeling that something is happening in the city. If you are looking for a building set that combines construction, movement and long-term play value, the Express Train fits perfectly into LEGO® City.

Use

In practice, the most enjoyable way to play with the train is through regular travel scenarios: children can plan departures, create timetables, manage passenger boarding and come up with situations such as "delays", "ticket inspections" or "quick connections". The train is also ideal for group play with multiple children – one can be the engine driver, another the station master, and the rest passengers or station staff. It also works brilliantly alongside other LEGO® City sets: you can build roads, construction sites, police or fire stations around the tracks and create a living city where the train becomes the main transport artery. For parents, an added benefit is that playing with a train naturally teaches basic concepts: direction, distance, traffic rules and the logic of "from–to". The best experience comes from incorporating the train into regular play and gradually expanding the city with new stops and stories.

Packaging

The set's packaging is practical for gifting while also protecting individual pieces and more delicate elements during transport. After opening, I recommend sorting the contents by bag and preparing a larger flat surface, as train sets typically contain more components and building is more comfortable that way. The instructions are laid out step by step, helping children develop focus and a methodical approach – the advantage is that after completing each section they immediately see the result and feel motivated to continue. It is worth keeping the box and instructions: they make it easier to store, transport and potentially expand the set with additional components later on. If you plan to spread the build over several days, the pieces can be stored again in stages to keep things organised and ensure nothing gets lost. By dividing the build into shorter sessions and sorting pieces as you go, you will avoid unnecessary chaos and the experience will be significantly more enjoyable.

Contents

LEGO® City 60337 Express Train contains durable plastic pieces and themed elements that support a realistic city railway feel. With this range, you will typically appreciate that the individual parts of the model are designed for play: secure connections, good stability and components that children can easily handle and use repeatedly. LEGO® City train sets are often built around a combination of vehicles, tracks and scene accessories, so it is not just "one thing" but an entire play system. This means the environment can be rebuilt and expanded – one day it is a fast urban connection, another time an intercity route or a weekend excursion. The material of the pieces is made for long-lasting durability and easy maintenance; a dry cloth or gentle wipe is usually sufficient if the set is used every day. The set's composition is designed so that the train is not just for display, but to withstand intensive play and repeated assembly.

Additional info

The Express Train is ideal for children who love movement, technology and stories set in a city where something is always happening. It is also an excellent entry point into the "transport" world of LEGO® City: once children grasp the principles of playing with a train, they can easily continue with further sets and expand the city with new locations. When choosing it as a gift, it is worth thinking about play space – train scenes are most enjoyable when there is room to spread out and when you can keep coming back to them. If you want to increase the set's value in an e-shop listing, I recommend presenting it as an ideal family activity: building and then "operating" the railway often entertains both children and adults alike, creating shared screen-free time. It is a building set that can keep you entertained for hours on end while naturally becoming the foundation for a larger LEGO® City world.
