If you’re looking to add some serious industrial power to your brick-built metropolis, look no further than the LEGO City Freight Train (60336). Released as a flagship of the modern LEGO train lineup, this set is not just a toy—it’s a complete remote-controlled logistics system that brings your LEGO City to life.
Why the 60336 is the Ultimate Cargo Powerhouse
While passenger trains are built for speed, the Freight Train 60336 is built for versatility and playability. Here’s why this set is a fan favorite:
1. Ultimate Remote Connectivity
Powered by the LEGO Powered Up system, you can pilot this heavy-duty locomotive using the included Bluetooth remote or the free smartphone app. The app even features custom sound effects—like clanging metal and air brakes—that sync with your movements for a truly immersive experience.
2. Modern Electric Aesthetics
Unlike older diesel-style trains, the 60336 features a sleek, modern locomotive design that looks like a high-powered electric engine. The vibrant lime-green and black color scheme makes it stand out as it hauls cargo across your living room floor.
3. A Complete Logistics World
This isn’t just a train; it’s a “city in a box.” The set includes:
- A Car Transporter: Haul two electric vehicles (included) on a specialized double-decker wagon.
- A Flatcar & Open Wagon: Transport two containers filled with cargo.
- Reach Stacker: A specialized vehicle to lift and move containers from the train to the ground.
