LEGO Special Collectors 10194 - Emerald Night

Product Information

Of course, AFOLs have built bigger and arguably more accurate and detailed models of this, and many other iconic locomotives, but I think this one strikes just the right balance between size and practicality.

Plus, I think only one German Crocodile (class E94 / 194) was ever painted in the ozeanblau - elfenbein livery. Much has been said about the brown livery and whether it's a bit drab. I thought it might have been, too, but now having built and displayed it, I think it looks excellent: subdued and sophisticated. Same here. When you want to get things work - and TLG is not giving you any answers: DO IT. Yourself. For comparison, the 10277 Crocodile uses a straight 1:1 gear ratio with a Powered Up Large motor and the same size driver wheels. Tomorrow I will discuss motorising the locomotive with both Powered Up, for which it's been designed, and also Power Functions, for which it has not.Next, the roof and pantographs are constructed. I really like the dark green pieces, representing ceramic insulators, and the red cabling, which add a subtle splash of colour. There are several things that can drive up the price of a set. Rarity will do it every time, which includes having its production run cut short and leaving a lot of people scrambling to get their hands on a copy before it's sold out. If the theme is very popular, it can drive prices up just due to completists chasing anything they're missing. If the set is a really popular design, it can go up in price on its own merits. And, because these are all boxes of LEGO parts, rare parts can have a weird and unpredictable influence on set prices. Sometimes a rare part will drive the set price up accordingly, and sometimes the part in question can actually sneak up unnoticed and end up costing more than the set it comes in (I've actually just found two examples of this recently). At 45cm long this is the longest locomotive LEGO has produced and I think it looks excellent. The brown livery looks understated and sophisticated and, as Jamie said to us during our interview, it's a colour that is often overlooked and doesn't see as much use in LEGO sets as perhaps it should. Look, the simple fact of the matter is: pretty as the Emerald Night may be, it isn't a particularly good representation of a steam locomotive. Just because it's better than the outright swill that Lego typically passes off for steam engines doesn't make it good in general - just in a relative sense. Given the price tag attached even when it was new, I took one look at the thing and started giggling. But I guess people are enamored of bright colors or something. A subassembly, upon which the minifigs can be seated, fits snugly inside, but can be removed to make room for the motor and battery box.

Overall, a worthy addition to LEGO's loco shed and one that will undoubtedly be highly sought-after and revered long after its retirement. There's a German shop owner on YouTube. He'd love to be able to sell train accessories. He says his customers are actually asking for these things. Actually the official name of the colour was "ozeanblau" (plus accents in "creme/Elfenbein" which was sort of a mixture between tan and light yellow), a colour not found in the LEGO range of colours. The next best thing would be dark blue. K10194 Emerald Night Collection was introduced in LEGO shop@home online to include the 10194 train set with a full set of accessories to motorize the train.

This is also the first train to have the new "large train wheels", four of them moulded with a flange and two of them moulded blind. The flanged wheels include a rubber band for traction when the Power Functions motor is installed. The blind wheels are made so the train can navigate standard LEGO curves. There's enough demand for 2 trainsets (one freight, one passenger) and maybe one more freight in a 4 year period. They're too expensive for much more than that.

Upload an Image in the specific color if you have one and the one in the above listing is not available. The 12-volt line was promoted in a 1983 UK television advert featuring a group of adults planning a 'mail train robbery'. [2]Embedded in the chassis is gearing which will enable it to be motorised. I will discuss this in more detail tomorrow. The noses are 7-wide with a narrower 5-wide upper section. The two 2x4 tiles on the front looks a bit awkward but does appear to be roughly prototypical. Lots of authentic touches including elements in rare colors and all-new large train wheels with piston motion!
