It was my birthday at the end of August and I decided to treat myself to not just one, but two of these great train packs from Lego. Lego have called it 'The Horizon Express' but it's obviously the French TGV from the 1980s a train that was a firm favourite of mine whilst I was growing up. To see this train recreated out of Lego bricks and even better to see it coupled up to a second set really is jawdropping. In this video I show you the contents of 'The Horizon Express' set as well as laying out the pieces, assembling each unit and then taking a look at some of its features.
