Train & Locomotive Building Block Kits for Adults
Power Blockz train building block kits recreate famous steam, diesel and electric locomotives in brick form, designed as brick train sets for adults who enjoy rail history as much as the build. The collection includes more than 20 locomotive building kits from Jiestar, Mould King, Reobrix, DK and Huiyouyi, with ABS bricks compatible with the major building brick systems.
Steam, diesel and electric locomotive kits
Steam fans can build The Flying Scotsman, the GWR5700 Steam Locomotive by Reobrix, the 141 R French Steam Locomotive or the Union Pacific 844 Locomotive by Mould King. Prefer electric train building blocks? Choose the Vectron Electric Locomotive, the German 103 Electric Locomotive or the EMD F7 Locomotive. For a showpiece, the Orient Express Original and Union Pacific Big Boi Steam Train by Jiestar are expert-level builds of 18h+.
Motorised train sets and scales
- Scale — mostly 1:40 to 1:50, so locomotives sit together on one shelf
- Difficulty — from the easy Rail Snowplow Train to expert 18h+ builds
- Motion — many are motorised train building blocks with remote control, such as the High-Speed Euro Express Train
Build a whole scene around your railway with street view building sets such as the Retro Japanese Tram, explore more engineering building kits, or browse every remote control building kit. Every order ships free worldwide, with a 30-day return guarantee and free replacement bricks.
Build the World Around Your Railway
Give your locomotive a station, a street and some company on the shelf.
Street View Sets
Stations, shops and city corners to line your tracks: street view building sets with detailed facades and interiors, a natural backdrop for steam and electric locomotives and a good start for a full railway diorama.
Remote Control Kits
Motorised locomotives are only the start. Browse remote control trucks, cranes and excavators from Mould King and Reobrix, with the same motors and handsets used in our RC train sets.
Trusted by Rail Fans
Builders who finished a Flying Scotsman or Orient Express share their thoughts on packaging, instructions, brick quality and how their locomotives look on display. Read their customer reviews before choosing your next locomotive.
Train Building Kits: Your Questions Answered
Looking for a specific locomotive? Contact our team.
Are the train building kits motorised?
Are the train building kits motorised?
Many are. The EMD F7 Locomotive, Motorized Steam Train and High-Speed Euro Express Train from Mould King, the Vectron Electric Locomotive and Legendary Taurus from Reobrix, and the 141 R French Steam Locomotive from Jiestar are all tagged remote controlled. Others, like the Union Pacific 844 Locomotive, are static display builds.
What scale are the locomotive building blocks?
What scale are the locomotive building blocks?
Most locomotives are built at 1:45 or 1:50 scale, with the Southern Steam Locomotive Remote Control at 1:40. That consistency means a Flying Scotsman, a Vectron and an EMD F7 look right side by side on the same shelf or display track. Check the scale tag on each product page before you buy.
Which train kit is best for a first build?
Which train kit is best for a first build?
Start with an easy 2–5 hour kit such as the Rail Snowplow Train from Jiestar or the Oriental Steam Train from DK, both remote controlled. For a step up, the Freight Train from Reobrix and The Steam Train from Jiestar are intermediate builds of 5–10 hours.
What is the most detailed steam locomotive kit?
What is the most detailed steam locomotive kit?
The expert 18h+ builds are the most detailed: the Orient Express Original and Union Pacific Big Boi Steam Train from Jiestar, and the Union Pacific 844 Locomotive from Mould King, all at 1:45 scale. The GWR5700 Steam Locomotive by Reobrix is a strong advanced option at 10–18 hours.
Can I build a railway scene around my train?
Can I build a railway scene around my train?
Yes. The Fallen Steamtrain and Retro Japanese Tram are scene builds in their own right, and the Christmas Train Set makes a seasonal display. For stations and streets, pair your locomotive with street view building sets at a similar scale. A motorised locomotive running past a station makes a lively display.
What if a coupling or wheel is missing from my train set?
What if a coupling or wheel is missing from my train set?
Check the numbered bag for that step first; small rail parts are often packed with the next stage. If a part is really missing, request it through our free brick replacement service. Orders ship free worldwide and are covered by a 30-day return guarantee.
