(More customer reviews)This train station is part of a larger roll out of Lego's new generation of trains (i.e., Power Function or PF trains). If you have the earlier 9 volt series, the track included with this set does not have metal on the rails and will not be able to power the 9 volt motors. If you have any of the RC sets, this station has the exact same track.
This is a small station with platforms on each side of the track connected by an overhead pedestrian bridge. It has four pieces of straight track, a small yellow taxi, and four mini-figures. The station is reminiscent of a classic Lego design (#7822) from 1980. The snack shop is simple but nicely detailed with a sliding door, drinks and a cash register. The taxi is fine, but it has no doors and requires (like many current vehicles) that you lift the top off to put mini-figures inside. I have mixed feelings about the pedestrian bridge. It turns out quite large when you build it, in part because of the use of the single-piece trusses. I would have preferred something more brick-built. The overall color scheme is great and matches the new passenger train (#7978) that Lego released alongside this.
This set replaces #7997 which was discontinued in late 2009. I would expect Lego to keep this in production for the next two to three years.
