All aboard LEGO City’s summer 2026 sets

The summer 2026 LEGO City lineup has been revealed and train enthusiasts have plenty to get excited about. Power Miners fans, on the other hand, have even more to be excited about.

LEGO City is the classic, everlasting theme that focuses on the real world. A new batch of sets are on the way for fans to add to their tabletop towns, ensuring that the blocky urban sprawl keeps growing.

Six new LEGO City sets are coming out on June 1, 2026, with three featuring new LEGO trains:

Trains are a popular staple of LEGO City not just for the children the sets are designed for, but also for adult collectors who like to add railways to their custom LEGO City displays. So it’s always an exciting time when the theme releases a new train set — three new train sets is just icing on the cake.

It is worth noting that none of the trains come with any motors or controls, so they’ll have to be motorised separately by purchasing the necessary Powered Up tech. On one hand, it keeps the price of the sets down, on the other, it’s an extra step added for those who want to motorise and don’t already have the needed parts. Additionally, none of the sets come with a complete set of track. This again keeps costs down, but limits play if additional purchases are not made.

LEGO City has been going for 21 years – you can read a special feature celebrating its longevity in Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, Issue 132, available now.

60506 Classic Beach Tram

60506 Classic Beach Tram is the least train-y of the trains because it’s a tram. It comes in pastel colours befitting a summer holiday and is accompanied by a small beach and pier that serve as the final station on its route. If the San Francisco vibes seemed too subtle for you, the pier makes them explicit.

60509 Harbor Freight Train with Crane & Truck

Freight trains don’t get quite as much love in LEGO City as passenger trains, so 60509 Harbor Freight Train with Crane & Truck is a welcome part of the wave. As a 7+ set, the engine and two cars are a bit simple in their construction, but get the job done. The accompanying crane and flatbed truck take some of the 803 pieces away from the train itself, but add a nice bit of play opportunity for the set’s target audience.

60511 Vintage Steam Train

60511 Vintage Steam Train is just 575 pieces, so it’s on the smaller side as far as LEGO City trains are concerned. Most of the pieces go into the classic locomotive and tender, then there is a single carriage to be pulled along and a simple platform for minifigures to board and disembark.

60496 Pizza Delivery Experience with Vehicles

60496 Pizza Delivery Experience with Vehicles calls itself an experience and that’s probably what it’s best described as. There’s an open-air pizza kitchen with a giant slice atop it, a sportscar and drone to handle delivery duties, leaving the moped feeling a little overwhelmed.

60494 Dump Truck & Front End Loader

Construction gets some representation in this wave of City sets with 60494 Dump Truck & Front End Loader. 1,132 pieces create the titular pair as well as a temporary office and sign marking the construction site. The vehicles follow a similar style to recent construction sets, keeping some nice consistency across the theme.

60501 Lava Land Roller Coaster Park

60501 Lava Land Roller Coaster Park is one of the craziest LEGO City roller coasters to date, sending its riders on a fiery adventure that includes a rock monster that’ll have Power Miners fans feeling hopelessly nostalgic. The roller coaster tracks appear in orange.
