•this model is motorize.

•there are 727 pieces.

•there are 3 minifigures.

•In the train station there is a reference to the Lego ideas Typewriter.

This locomotive is not a passenger train but despite this I have included a station but as it is not intended for passengers I consider it a customs house or something like that.

my idea could be a great Lego set because the model is displayable (if you remove some tracks) and playable since it includes minifigures, is motorized and runs on classic Lego train tracks. From my point of view, I find the locomotive very pretty. In short, for all its reasons, this model could be an excellent set.

I would be very grateful if you could support, comment or share my idea.💖
