At the heart of this creation is the intricacy and authenticity for which LEGO® is renowned.

To add to the experience, the roofs are removable to reveal the carefully crafted interiors. And the eight minifigures included – from the conductor to the passengers – add life and story to this already dynamic model.
The set’s designer, French LEGO enthusiast Thomas Lajon, was inspired by his childhood passion for locomotives and ships. His journey from young collector to creator of this LEGO® masterpiece speaks volumes about the power of passion and creativity. His design, which received 10,000 votes in the LEGO Ideas programme, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Orient Express and the universal appeal of LEGO®.
