The Holiday Express is designed to be motorised, but the base set is a push-along train.
The Power Functions kit supplies the missing half: a motor, a battery, a receiver and a remote that turn the four-carriage train into a working model railway. For a train that is meant to run around a tree, that is not an optional extra. It is the difference between a display and a tradition.
Set 10361 receives a motor, battery box, receiver and remote in this upgrade, with the modification parts and instructions needed to fit them after the model is assembled.
The motor sits in the locomotive, the battery is concealed in the coal tender, and the receiver is hidden under the roof. The remote controls speed and direction, and the gearing is set for a slow, steady pull rather than a fast sprint.
ZENE Bricks leaves the exterior unchanged.
The bobbing chimney still moves, the couplings still articulate, and the passenger car can still be detached. The train holds a consistent speed through curves, and the motor is quiet enough to run in a living room without dominating it. The battery is reachable without lifting the locomotive off the track.
A train is a schedule
The difference between a model train and a train is the timetable. Once the Holiday Express moves, the platform, the bench and the lamppost become a stop rather than a display. The motor kit supplies that change, and the slow gearing is deliberate: a train that arrives too quickly cannot be read as a train.
On a layout, the train gives the village a clock. It arrives at the platform, waits, and leaves again, and the static buildings gain a sense of distance. The lego christmas set becomes a working railway, the christmas lego sets for adults who enjoy mechanisms get a project, and the lego christmas village gains a reason for the station to exist. It is a small mechanism that changes the whole scene.
The LEGO Holiday Express Train #10361 is also considered to be very good-looking among Lego trains. The bright colors of the New Christmas series can always quickly catch our attention. For a more soulful experience, the train is equipped with a low-latency ZENE PF motor kit remote control of the operating handle is highly compatible with Lego trains, and the installation is smooth. Along the way, white polar bears beat drums and happily pack toys and gifts, giving you full emotional value. On the small platform, there are waiting benches and streetlights. After stopping to pick up passengers, give everyone the long-awaited Christmas gift. In particular, the newly upgraded rechargeable lithium battery in 2026 supports more than 1 hour of operation.
Two versions:
Both versions have the same power functions. Remote Control or APP can control speed.
Standard Version includes 16 knots curves, 6 knots straight train track. You can form a bigger circular track with these accessories.
Why our remote control is superior?

Our Power Functions Kit includes:
Step-step modification instructions in PDF & Video format provided.
New generation motors.
(Upgraded lithium batteries) Environmentally friendly and rechargeable.
Remote Control and iOS and Android.
Modification Accessories.
Note:
Power Functions Kit only, not LEGO sets.
It is recommended to refit simultaneously during build.
Unlike the previous Power Functions system, the powered up system offers improved reliability and signal strength, making it a superior choice for motorizing LEGO models.
After some minor modifications to accommodate the motor and battery box, the train was ready to roll. I tested its performance, and I must say, the results were impressive! The train ran smoothly without any signal loss or technical glitches, thanks to the robust design of the powered up components.
[Customization and Enhancement] But why stop at just motorizing the train when you can take it a step further? I decided to customize the tender to conceal the battery box and create a more streamlined look. By extending the tender and elevating its height, I was able to seamlessly integrate the battery box without compromising the aesthetics of the train. Additionally, I added some finishing touches to tidy up the cable arrangement and enhance the overall appearance of the model.
Especially when paired with ZENE lighting, there is a better effect during operation, and the music version can be implanted with your favorite music files, allowing joy to surround you
With these modifications, the Winter Holiday Train not only boasts enhanced functionality but also a personalized touch that sets it apart from the standard build. Whether it's racing around the track or proudly displayed on a shelf, this motorized and customized train is sure to delight LEGO enthusiasts of all ages.
[Conclusion] In conclusion, motorizing and customizing the Winter Holiday Train set has been a rewarding experience. From the thrill of seeing the train come to life with the powered up motor to the satisfaction of adding my own creative flair to the model, every step of the process has been enjoyable.
I encourage fellow LEGO fans to explore the possibilities of motorization and customization with their sets. With the right tools and a dash of creativity, you can transform ordinary LEGO models into extraordinary creations that bring joy and excitement to your building adventures.
need better instructions, the on line is not easy to tell or see where the wires are to be routed. I am building an extra car to house a battery to operate the light while the train is running. I wish I had a couple extra straight track.
Hi friend, thanks for you 5-stars comment. the instruction is the fully same as Lego instructions. The cable is indeed longer than Lego's, allowing for more flexible configuration. Of course, please feel free to contact us with any questions.
