LEGO 10194 - Emerald Night
10194 Emerald Night is a trains themed set released in 2009, and discontinued in 2012. This set was never available in stores, making it exclusive to Shop At Home (except in Australia where it was available at Myer department stores). It contains 1085 pieces including 3 minifigures.
This set contains an A3 Pacific type steam locomotive, a tender and a
dining car. This set does not include train track and motor. However, it
can be motorized by adding the new Power Functions
XL motor, IR Speed Remote control,, IR Receiver, LED Lights and
rechargeable battery box introduced at the same time with this set. The
instruction of 10194 includes the steps of adding Power Functions motor.
This is also the first train
to have the new "large train wheels," four of them moulded with a
flange, and two of them moulded blind. The flanged wheels include a
rubber band for the train wheels to grip the track when the power
functions motor is implemented. The blind wheels are made so the train
can navigate standard LEGO curves.
The train is composed of three portions: the engine, the tender and
the passenger vehicle. The engine is the most important piece of the
train. It is primarily dark green and black.
The majority of the engine section is the train engine, while the back
is a "room" for the driver to stand in. In the cab is a shovel and an
opening firebox door with flames behind it. The wheels of the engine
section are either small wheels which are independent of the main wheels
in order to allow the train to handle curves, and two sets of three
wheels connected by a rubber band in the section where a Power Functions
Motor could be placed. There is also a smokestack in the front. The middle section is the tender. It has a pair of doors which
can cover the "door" between it and the Conductor's cabin. It has a
small ladder in the back and like the engine is primarily dark green and
black.
The final portion of the train is the passenger car. While the car is
not available for purchase separately, it has not only stickers saying
"First" and "1", but also extra stickers that say "Second", "2",
"Third", and "3" for people who make their own cars or get extras. The
passenger car has a removable roof. It has four doors, two on either
side, as well as openings for travel between passenger cars. There are
seats inside, as well as tables, a cabinet and two spaces to hold the
suitcases.
