HOLY CRAP!!! LEGO has announced a new train! It is a modern American container train in the colors of the shipping line Maersk! It comes with the locomotive, two container flatcars, and a loading truck! From the looks of the one picture we have right now, it has Power Functions built in, and it has 3 minifigures. This set is really unique because it has loads of Maersk blue, an extremely rare color for LEGO, which has only come in a very small number of sets. This set also has three Maersk blue construction helmets. If you want just one helmet now, they sell for $175 EACH on Bricklink. Crazy stuff. Anyway, this train model looks based off of an EMD SD40-2, however, it only has two axles per truck, instead of the actual train's 3. The color/paint job looks spot on to the real prototype of this train, and the truck is an excellent truck for work at container terminals. I can't wait for this really awesome set, and depending on the price, I might actually get it!
EDIT: I removed the image because I noticed LEGO taking it off of other sites, and I don't want to be on their bad side!
