LEGO Crocodile Locomotive (10277) Designer Video Online!

Saturday, July 4th, 2020 by Brickfinder

Let LEGO designer Pierre Normandin take us for a very behind the brick train ride that delves into the process of designing such an iconic locomotive that was first built in Switzerland.

The LEGO Crocodile locomotive is fully compatible with previous trains like the LEGO Emerald Night (21005) and the Horizon Express (10233) and runs on exactly the same tracks.

It is also interesting to note that the train is actually seven studs wide which is unusual as it is an uneven number as most LEGO elements are in multiples of two.

The LEGO Crocodile Locomotive (10277) is now on sale at the LEGO Certified Stores in Singapore and is retailing for SGD$179.90 which is not too shabby a price.

I did hear that they should be restocking soon for the United States so watch that Shop@home listing if you are still looking for it.
