Police Pursuit Train (LEGO 60508)

About this set

This LEGO 60508 set sits in the Trains line but the box carries the LEGO CITY badge, and with 1313 pieces at a 2/5 difficulty it is a low-pressure build rather than a marathon. The finished model is a city sports car, and the color scheme leans on black, orange, white and gray, which gives the body a tighter, more swept profile than the usual boxy city vehicle. The build includes an opening trunk, so it pays to seat the chassis and main body firmly first and then work on the trunk hinge so it opens and closes cleanly; the minifigure comes with a cane and is best added once the car is done. With 1313 pieces spread across the body, the repetitive parts cluster around the chassis and wheel assemblies, so sorting by color and starting with black and gray before adding the orange and white exterior pieces keeps the pace steady. It suits builders who like city sports car subjects and want a mid-sized vehicle with an opening trunk detail, or anyone who has done a few LEGO CITY sets and wants a sports car shape instead.
