Below are my comments about the new LEGO trains.
I Received the new trains at the last of the month of June.
The first night I assembled the Passenger train (7938).
The next night I started the Cargo train (7939). It comes with 8 numbered bags, a bag of bumpers, a bag of Flex track, 2 train base plates, 4 packs of curved track, 2 packs of straight track, 2 overhead crane frames, a box with the motor, IR unit and controller battery box and drive wheels, 2 switches, a bag of wheels and 6 numbered instruction booklets. There are 839 pieces.
It took me over an hour to assemble the engine which required bags 1 and 2 using instruction booklet 1. Bag 1 along with the motor , a base plate, the 8 drive wheels, and 2 bumpers are used to make the bottom portion of the engine. Bag 2, the IR unit and the battery box are used to assemble the top half of the engine. This includes a very innovative switch pusher to turn on and off the battery.
Booklet 2 and Bag 3 are used build the Octan car along with 2 bumpers. It is based on an automobile frame and is easy to assemble if you have worked with the cylinder construction before. It uses standard train trucks with steel axles that snap in after putting the wheels on the ends.
Booklet 3, Bag 4, and 2 bumpers are used to build the container car and container. Some very interesting pieces are used to construct the base. The container is large but simple to assemble.
Booklet 4, Bag 5, The other train base and 2 bumpers are used to build an auto transporter and 2 little cars. Simple and easy to assemble.
Booklet 5, Bag 6, and the 2 frames are used to construct an overhead crane. It includes a crane with windows and a place for the operator that slides across the frame.
This is where I finished the first night as it was after midnight and I had to be up in the morning.
