"Christmas Train Ride is a Recommended seasonal that over-delivers at $9.99, backed by a 4.8 owner average across 920 ratings and a BrickScore of 76.5, making it one of the more generous entries in the LEGO seasonal catalog for fans building a Winter Village collection."
The Christmas Train Ride (40262) is a consistently praised seasonal set that over-delivers for its $9.99 price, offering 169 pieces, three minifigures, and multiple small builds in a cohesive Christmas market vignette. Brickset highlighted the unusual three-minifigure count (typically only two for seasonal sets at this size) and the narrative charm, while JANG focused on the functional working-wheel train design and the extendable passenger cars. Owners are overwhelmingly positive, with a 4.8 average across 920 ratings and a 100% would-recommend rate.

"There are three minfiigs included in the set, which is great considering there are usually only two minifigs in the seasonals."
Brickset Reviews"This uses these repeating cars for the rear two sections. It's supposed to be one of those small scale but still working trains that would create a little ride that you know actual normal human beings of normal sizes, kiโฆ"

"This uses these repeating cars for the rear two sections. It's supposed to be one of those small scale but still working trains that would create a little ride that you know actual normal human beings of normal sizes, kids and adults alike could ride on."



Owners love this festive set for building expanding winter village displays and family traditions, praising the detailed minifigures and functional train mechanics, though a few suggest design updates could improve the trees and pieces.
