The LEGO 10194-1 Construction Set, known as the Emerald Night Train, is a sophisticated model designed for train enthusiasts and advanced LEGO builders. Released in 2009, this set features a detailed steam locomotive engine, a tender, and a Pullman-style coach, meticulously crafted to resemble the iconic trains of the early 20th century.
