There is some pretty cool footage in the video and some insight into the LEGO Vault. There is also an brief view of the LEGO Hobby Train which I worked on. The model shown was designed by Holger Mathes.

The official word came out via a LUGNET post from Tony Sava.  The set is very much real and will be available shortly.  It will be shown for the first time at BrickFest PDX in late March.

I’ll certainly pick one of these up, it is too cool not to!  Plus, I can’t build a steam train (and I have tried a couple times) to save my life!  The item is already listed on LEGO S@H with a April 15th availability date.  You can add it to your wish list but can’t add it to your cart.
