[QUOTE]LEGO has previously released two trains targeted at the enthusiast community - the
Emerald Night in 2009 and the
Maersk Train in 2011. A third train model is scheduled to join those legendary trains on 1st Jan 2013, the
Horizon Express, a modern high-speed passenger train.
LEGO has kindly provided us with an early copy for review.
[/QUOTE]
乐高在之前为火车玩家推出了两款火车--2009年的10194“翡翠之夜号”,以及2011年的“马士基火车”。
第三列火车已经计划在2013年元旦上市,它就是“地平线号”,一列现代化的高铁
乐高很仗义的提前给我们提供了一套以供评鉴。
盒子
[QUOTE]The third of the LEGO Direct trains is the largest of the three in terms of parts count (1351 elements according to the pre-order page on LEGO Shop), but comes in a box considerably smaller than the last outing, the Maersk Train; the box is about the same size as that for the Emerald Night (54cm x 28cm x 8.6cm). Its almost as heavy as the Maersk Train (at 1.85kg), so with the smaller box size it feels like a very solid set.[/QUOTE]
乐高的第三组无动力火车是是已经推出的三款中砖数最多的(根据乐高官网预订的页面,有1351砖),
但是盒子却比上一款马士基火车的要小,盒子大约和10194大小相当(54cm x 28cm x 8.6cm)。
差不多和马士基火车重量差不多(1.85kg),小号的盒子会让人感觉塞的更满一些。
[QUOTE]When complete the model consists of three units - an engine and two carriages. The two carriages are almost identical from the outside (there are slight differences in the window construction & sticker), but have different interiors.[/QUOTE]
当完成三节车皮(一节车头、两节车厢)之后。我们可以看出两节客车车厢从外观上几乎一模一样,
(仅仅在窗户的搭建方法和贴纸上有极小的区别),但是车厢里面却很不一样。
[QUOTE]The art on the box is quite striking and shows the train in a dynamic pose. The box art on the rear shows two additional building options - two of the sets combined (2 engines in a push/pull configuration, with four carriages in-between), or fitted with the train Power Functions to make it remote controlled. Out of the box the train is a static model, suitable for display only.[/QUOTE]
盒子图相当有震撼效果,车摆了一个很有动感的pose。
盒子背面有一些加强效果---两列组合(双车头,四车箱),
以及增加PF零件来使其成为可遥控的。
盒子里面仅仅是一个静态的模型,仅供展示。
[QUOTE]Note the Expert branding on the box. Its believed that LEGO exclusives like this and the modular buildings will be branded Creator Expert from now on.[/QUOTE]
留神盒子上的"Expert"标签,可以预见在此之后像大屋之类的乐高exclusives系列都将被划到这个系列里面。
[QUOTE]Parts are divided into 13 bags, with the train bases loose in the box. Six of the bags are labelled 1 for the first instruction book, while stages 2 and 3 get three bags each. The 13th bag is unlabelled and contains parts used in all three building stages. As with the previous Direct trains, the set doesnt contain any track.[/QUOTE]
零件被分成了13袋,以及单独放置的火车底板。
6袋被标为1号包,对应第一本说明,
2、3号包分别有3袋。
第13包没有编号,装着三组中都会用到的零件(其实就是几根管和缓冲器连磁铁连接件。fayex按)。
像之前的无动力火车一样,这个型号没有带任何轨道。
[QUOTE]The three instruction books and the sticker sheet are packed in a bag with a cardboard stiffener.
The instruction manuals cover each of the models - book one covers the engine, book two the middle carriage and book three covers the rear carriage. The stickers are printed on clear film and provide options for a number of different carriages, should owners wish to build longer trains.
[/QUOTE]
三本说明和贴纸被封在一个带有硬纸板的口袋里。
三本说明分别对应了三节车皮---第一本是车头,第二本是近段车厢,第三本是远端车厢。
贴纸印在了透明纸上,而且为多节车厢提供了众多号码,为想搭建长火车的玩家预备的。
人仔
[QUOTE]The set contains a generous six minifigs; two staff members (driver and conductor) and four passengers. Its worth noting that they are split evenly between male and female figures; I think this might be the first female train driver in any LEGO set?[/QUOTE]
这个型号很仗义的给了6个人仔:两个工作人员(司机和检票员)以及四名乘客。
人仔被刻意平均分成了一半男一半女,我想这是头一个女司机的乐高型号。
搭建
[QUOTE]The models are interesting & enjoyable builds in their own right and they employ a number of advanced building techniques. I wont spoil the surprise that I know many of you enjoy, but it will say that the chin, windows, skirts on the bottom of the units and the chevrons on the engine are particularly well done & I learned a thing or two.
As well as instructions for the rear carriage, the final instruction manual contains a full parts list, and also instructions for retro-fitting PF motor, battery pack, sensor and lights. It looks like reworking the train for 9V operation would be fairly straightforward. However, the long extension of the nose of the engine might make the train challenging to operate on an established layout.
[/QUOTE]
这个型号的搭建过程相当有乐趣而且用到了很多高难度的搭建技巧。
我不打算破坏这种搭建过程中的惊喜,
但是我还要说车头前脸底部、车窗、车厢底部中间的东西(他也不知道叫什么:D,fayex按)、
以及发动机上的装饰都让我震惊。
在装完最后一节车厢之后,说明书的最后有一个完整的零件列表,
而且也有加装PF动力、电池盒、红外接收以及车灯的详细步骤。
看起来还是改装成9V会比较直接一些。
然而它过长的前脸有可能在一些已有的场景中开起来会比较有挑战。
(我觉得怎么也也不会比194拐弯时候占空间多吧,fayex按)
完成
[QUOTE]Im not a train-head, but I have built & enjoyed all three of the Direct trains. This set has a different feel to either of the previous sets, but it is an enjoyable build. The finished model looks great, but really needs to be combined with another set to complete the train. The finished train bears a remarkable similarity to the early orange version of the French TGV. [/QUOTE]
我不是一个火车控,但是我也组了已有的全部三款无动力火车。
这个型号确实与之前款有不同的感觉,但是搭建的很有乐趣。
完成的整车确实看起来相当不错,但是确实需要再来一组来完成整列火车。
完成的火车与法国早期的橘色版本的高铁有惊人的相似之处。
[QUOTE]There is plenty of detail in the passenger carriages; both have working doors and removable roofs to add play value. The middle carriage has three passenger seats and a toilet with a sliding door, as well as storage space for luggage. The rear carriage also has three passenger seats, but also has a bar and a coffee machine.[/QUOTE]
两节客车车皮有不少细节,两节都有的是可开合的门以及可拆卸的顶棚,来增加可玩性。
中间车皮有三个乘客座椅和一个带有推拉门的洗手间,以及放行李的空间,
最后一节同样有三个座椅,还多了一个小吧台和一个咖啡机。
我喜欢的地方
- [QUOTE]
- Great looking model of a modern high-speed passenger train.
- The six minifigs are all great.
- There are some great & unusual building techniques used.
- Little use of stickers or printed elements; most of the detail comes from built detail.
- Lots of great elements - plenty of orange & loads of SNOT pieces.[/QUOTE]
相当好的高铁模型
6个人仔都相当不错
有相当多而且不常见的搭建技巧
贴纸及印刷件很少用到,主要细节都是搭成的
大量好零件--海量黄砖以及去颗粒化零件。(终于知道SNOT的含义了,原来是Studs Not On Top,fayex按)
不太喜欢的地方
- [QUOTE]
- The open area on the roof of the engine around the pantograph is a little disappointing.
- Not a lot of strength in the walls of the carriage when the roof is removed.
- As with other six-wide carriages, the interior of the passenger cars is a little cramped.[/QUOTE]
车头的放置发动机以及受电弓子的开口区域不是太令人满意
当拿掉车顶时候,侧面墙不够坚固
像其他六个宽车厢一样,客车部分的内部显得有点局促
总结
[QUOTE]This is an excellent set: as with the previous Direct trains itll probably work better as a display model than as a working train on a display. It is a great build experience. Many people will want to buy two of them to complete the train. Highly recommended for any LEGO train fans, for anyone wanting to display a great looking model and anyone interesting in learning new & interesting building techniques.[/QUOTE]
这是一个相当棒的型号,像之前的无动力火车一样,
把它当成一个摆件会比让它跑起来效果要好些,。
它会是一个相当好的搭建经历。
不少人都会想买两套来组成一列完整的火车。
强烈推荐给任何一个火车玩家、以及想要漂亮模型的人、以及想要学习新搭建技巧的人。
