Lego 2010 Review: Set 7937 City Train Station
As part of its 2010 train range of sets, Lego have also decided to release a train station to accompany their passenger and cargo trains. While the train sets themselves are the main draw of this range but the latest release train station is a very playable model to accompany them
With 361 pieces and priced at $49.99 its quite a tidy set and features a number of different areas for kids to play, regardless as to whether or not they actually have a Lego train set or not. With a few modifications most Lego cars and trucks can serve for trains and this station has all the features of a modern train platform to enhance their play.
The set features 4 minifigures including 1 train driver, 1 taxi driver, and 2 travellers (a woman and a backpacker dude). Also included are the ticket office/kiosk, a sheltered waiting area, ticket machine and timetable and station map. A taxi waits to pick up passengers and can fit two minifigs inside, one behind the other in true taxi style.
The layout of the station spans two separate platforms connected by an overhanging pedestrian bridge. The platforms are only wide enough apart to fit a single train track layout so unless you want to sit a second track outside of the smaller platform then you will need to lengthen the bridge, a simple task for most experienced Lego builders.
In a way this set harks back to sets from a decade or two ago. There are alot of small, friendly details including things like flowers in pots, which are a welcome addition to any urban set, garbage bins and drinks in the kiosk. It is a great little set and a perfect way to add a train element to your Lego city, regardless of whether you have one of the new train sets on offer.
