Reading Time: < 1 minute

In this LEGO City update, I’m going to focus on building the train tunnels just before the Train Station I showed in the last video. My goal was to give myself more space to add scenery, but also to make something a lot more interesting than just the usual straight train tunnel that’s easy to build. Hint: This was not an easy LEGO build and required some techniques I haven’t done before!

LEGO City Express Passenger Train Review (60337)

This is a review of the new 2022 LEGO City Express Passenger Train 60337 not to be confused with the previous LEGO City Passenger Train 60197 (note the “Express” part). Why is it an express train? Well, according to the stickers on the set, it can travel at 303 km/h! But, does that also make it worth 25% more than the previous model?
