The set I like the most out of these new ones is the caboose
http://shop.lego.com/images/products/TYPE10/set384x288us010013.jpg
eh, it is OK. The ends are on backwards (in my mind the tall support things
should slope inwards and be square on the inside edge).
http://shop.lego.com/images/products/TYPE10/set384x288us010014.jpg
This one is very cute. I bet it will sell well. If it was in stores (with more
train stuff) it could really attract new train builders.

Why did they used stacked 1x1 round bricks. I wonder if they tried thinner
supports, like the ones on 10013, but changed their minds. Hm, 1x2x3
windows...that will make it hard to sit minifigs next to the windows; won't it?

Not bad. I don't think a real good solution for using these pieces in a tank car
yet. The pieces are attractive because of their roundness but their roundness is
the source of some substantial building issues. (By the way, does this mean LEGO
is now officially making trains 8 studs wide ;)[1]
http://shop.lego.com/images/products/TYPE10/set384x288us010017.jpg
Interesting design, and it looks like it can be emptied from the sides. I don't
know if I like the color scheme. I am leaning towards I don't like the color scheme.
Two things bother me about this line of trains. (1) The extensive use of the 4x6
double sided roof piece in the caboose (10014) and the coach (10017). I'd rather
have more flexible (use wise) parts. (2) These aren't "normal" train sets. It
seems that LEGO direct is interested in LEGO trains, but LEGO (normal) isn't.
Unless models like the caboose are included in the LEGO catalogues that go into
the regular models I worry that a lot of potential buyers will be missed. So,
the train line will not sell as well as it could, and LEGO "normal" will
continue to neglect trains.
