LEGO Promotional 40370 40 Years of LEGO Trains

LEGO set 40370, 40 Years of LEGO Trains, is a promotional release focused on the LEGO train subject. Released in 2020 under the Promotional theme, it contains 188 pieces and includes 1 minifigure.

Set 40370 presents the LEGO train topic in a commemorative format. Its title clearly points to LEGO trains, while its theme classification separates it from regular train product lines.

The build can be described safely as a compact train related display model with a figure.

This makes the set most relevant to collectors of LEGO promotional items and to fans interested in the history of LEGO trains. It can be displayed on its own or placed near other railway themed builds. Within the Promotional theme, it is best understood as a commemorative item rather than a full train set.
