Where it came from
Released in 2019 as part of the Lego Hidden Side theme, the Ghost Train Express was designed to bridge the gap between traditional building sets and augmented reality play. The line emerged during a period of experimentation for the company as they sought to integrate mobile technology with physical bricks. The set was conceived as a haunted steam engine that could be transformed into a spectral vehicle through the Hidden Side app, encouraging builders to interact with their environment in both physical and digital spaces.
The design of the train reflects a blend of steampunk aesthetics and supernatural motifs, characterized by its dark, moody color palette and modular parts that flip or shift to reveal 'haunted' features. While the Hidden Side theme was eventually discontinued, the Ghost Train Express remains a notable example of the era's attempt to gamify set construction. It was generally praised by enthusiasts for its unique design and technical build, even as the broader augmented reality integration faced mixed reception regarding its long-term viability.
