NEW 2020 LEGO Train Crocodile Locomotive 10277 Confirmed!

The rumours were true! There is a NEW 18+ LEGO Train Confirmed! Crocodile Locomotive 10277 will be arriving July 1st and it looks awesome! It’s so great to see a new 18+ [formerly creator expert] train arrive with the promise of more in the pipeline according to an interview on the Brothers Brick with Jamie Beard the LEGO Designer!

It is built around a 6 stud wide body with detailing that takes it to 7 studs. So it’s not quite as big as the Disney Train which is 8 studs wide, but wider than the usual City train. The LEGO Designers have stuck to 6 wide for the main body as they feel there is still a lot that can be done with it. TBH, looking at the photos, they seem to be right!

The train can of course be motorised. And on the back of the box, it shows that you can use the new LEGO Powered Up Large Motor which ties into the app. In the app, you get a control panel for the train. TBH, the previous Power Functions motor should also work, but you’d need to build the IR receiver into the chassis somewhere.

Looking through the designs, i think LEGO has done a great job detailing this. And it’s great to see the return of LEGO Trains to the Creator Expert (or rather 18+) line of sets. The details LEGO has crammed into the exterior is excellent. And I especially love how they decided to use the older track pieces because it made the train sit higher and clearer of the display stand!

The one thing I will say is that this train is LONG! So be prepared to loose some real-estate to it! It’s about twice the normal city train in length.

One question is though, will LEGO be releasing more carriages and trains in the future? Well, if you read the interview with Jamie Berard over on the The Brothers Brick about the Crocodile Train (10277), there seems to be a bright future for train at LEGO again!

Let me know in the comments what you think of this train! And will you be buying it on July 1st?

Revisiting something I started a while back. My rollercoaster. This is going to hopefully be compact but make use of the pirate coaster, pirates of barracuda bay and I’m aiming to try to build a launch system rather than the chain system LEGO uses. :fire:The one with the LEGO Aliens MOC experience - Part 2A teaser from my the next floor of my central perk moc. Few bits from a famous movie franchise in there. Can you guess what it is? And I thought M-Tron made a good crossover. It’s like the logo from those movies but upside down. :fire::fire: Follow me onGood news! I figured out how to put a LEGO minifigure head onto the friends dolls.

One that was released a few years ago to employees of a company and then re-released as a general set two years ago. It’s a beast and one I’d wanted for ages. Side note: none of the bags are numbered! Hence everything out at once. :fire::fiLEGO LIVE STREAM BUILD #61 - Sunday with Tazzman Bricks and StaniThe struggles of building at my LEGO desk.
