LEGO Lone Ranger Constitution Train Chase

Product Information

LEGO 79111 Constitution Train Chase was a 699 piece The Lone Ranger set with 7 minifigs released in 2013.

And I assume that this water tower is for the townsfolk, not for filling the train as it comes through, since the spout is away from the tracks if you have it ready to fall and block them.

Parts: 5 - Plenty of useful dark green, some silver ingots and the golden fez component make this set very attractive from a parts perspective. At the bottom of the front there's a lineup of the figures included, with their names so you know who's who. This was a fun and fairly inexpensive little project that yielded a nice little powered train, or at least, it will once the IR receiver and remote arrive. What I was unprepared for was the speed default on Lego train motors, turns out that if you don't have a speed controller they are set to around Mach 5 and will send a small train such as this flying off the tracks, much to the delight of my seven year old.

I'm not 100% sure on the colors, but I think the silver bars and rocks are "metallic silver" in Bricklink naming. A water tower also features which can be knocked down using a level (cleverly disguised as an explosive plunger) to block the track, spilling four blue cylinders which represent water. I should imagine that both of these functions will be taken from the scene in the film, but we will see. The flatbed wagon is laden with all kinds of details, including a crate in a nougat shade which contains two silver ingots, two silver crystal pieces, and a green bottle. I would also add led lights to the light in front of the funnel, if a way to house them can be found and the wires hidden in the boiler.Despite the film itself being reputedly awful, there is no doubt in my mind that the sets are superb in the main. It's a nice length for pushing around by hand, although it definitely helps to have it on the track since the front bogey on the logo flops around if you don't. The jail car would be simple - take out the lever and bar windows, fill in those gaps, and it's a great little boxcar.

More my opinion, particularly if you are a train fan, in which case I can think of no better set than this. My only true complaint about this train is the lack of power functions, or even the ability to easily add power to the set. I doubt that we will get a new Western theme (I am still bitter at Lego about the Cuusoo Modular Western Town fiasco) but I think we'll get some sort of Western-based set next year for The Lego Movie.The set's minifigures include the Lone Ranger, Tonto, Rebecca Reid, Danny Reid, Butch Cavendish, Latham Cole and Captain Fuller. I haven't run it on track but I'm sure it would run fine - the trick is there's no simple mod to motorize it as is.

I'm not a train builder by any means, and have no clue about how all that needs to be rigged up to run. You may have guessed by now that this blog is less about investing and more about how to add power to a train set.
