Official LEGO Orient Express: 4-foot-long display train arrives sooner than expected!
It was the next set LEGO Ideas in the home stretch, except that we expected it for the first months of 2024, and not that close. We are talking about LEGO The Orient Express Train #21344clearly inspired by the famous long-distance passenger train whose first trips date back to 1883.
The set already visible on the LEGO Store is clearly inspired by the original steam train, a true example of French luxury of the time and one of the favorite trains of railway enthusiasts around the world. As mentioned, its first journeys date back to the end of the 1800s, and only recently, thanks to the Belmond company, has the train returned to travel on the tracks of Europe.

But let’s get to the LEGO model. The set is inspired by an idea of Thomas Lajona Parisian brick enthusiast, whose project was voted on by users on the Ideas platform and subsequently approved by LEGO for mass production.
The train is made up of a locomotive (with coal trolley), from a wagon restaurant and from a wagon Bed. Everything is compatible with the official LEGO track system (in L scale), and is therefore compatible with any themed sets you may already have.
Obviously the details are wasted: tables and inlaid panels in the dining car and a mirror effect above the bed in the first class room of the sleeping car, an Orient Express backgammon board, exterior decorations showing the Paris-Istanbul route, vintage accessories for the minifigures, bottle bar greenery and “engraved glass” mirrors and much more.
