The LEGO parts you need to build mini 10361 Holiday Express Train

Would you like to build a mini version of LEGO Icons 10361 Holiday Express Train? Then here is a list of all the pieces you need to construct this LEGO model!

The annual Winter Village set is 10361 Holiday Express Train. Steam engines have been a staple of traditional holiday displays, so it should make a charming addition to your festive decor. To celebrate this new model, this small version captures the warmth and charm of 10361 in a form that is even more accessible, compact and displayable.

Building the train at such a small scale requires inventive part usage to suggest key details without cluttering the tiny build. The locomotive’s smokestack and headlight are emphasised, while Earling bricks stand in for small windows. Capturing the polar bear at this scale is especially tricky and requires the use of new double curved elements. Couplers between cars are functional and minimal, preserving the flow of the train while avoiding bulk.

The instructions for building this model can be found in Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, Issue 133. You can buy the magazine here. If you subscribe to Blocks, you’ll get at least three new sets of LEGO build instructions in every monthly edition!
