LEGO set 70424, Ghost Train Express, depicts a haunted train from the Hidden Side theme. Released in 2019, it contains 699 pieces and belongs to a line built around characters, vehicles and locations affected by ghostly activity.

Ghost Train Express places the supernatural premise of Hidden Side on a railway subject. The theme presents a contemporary setting where ordinary people, young investigators and spectral events meet, giving the model a clear role as both a train and a haunted scene.

B. Watt, Parker L. Jackson, Chuck, Paul and Ms. Santos. Its contents focus on the train and its cast, supporting stories of pursuit, investigation or ghostly disturbance within the Hidden Side setting.

It suits narrative play, display with other Hidden Side models and collecting by theme. Within the line, the railway subject gives it a distinct position beside more building based or urban scenes, while the included characters connect it firmly to the broader Hidden Side cast.
