LEGO Icons 10361 Winter Village: Winter Express Train Rumoured For October 2025

With it being just under 10 years since our last Winter Village locomotive, the LEGO Group are releasing a brand new festive-themed LEGO train as 2025's LEGO Icons Winter Village model. In particular, this year's LEGO Winter Village set is 10361 Winter Village: Winter Express Train, which once again releases at the start of October. However, the Christmas build that awaits includes 956 pieces but retails for a much higher price than previous years at $129.99 / €TBC / £TBC.

That $130 price tag is a 30% increase and a significant jump from the consistent $99.99 pricing seen in all LEGO Winter Village sets since 2018's 10263 Winter Village Fire Station. This even includes both 10325 Alpine Lodge and 10339 Santa's Post Office, which included 1,517 and 1,440 pieces, respectively.

This price increase suggests that not only will the Winter Express Train include a range of LEGO track pieces alongside the main build of the locomotive, but also possibly LEGO Powered Up elements and controls to operate a fully functional LEGO train.

The Winter Village Winter Express Train itself, however, will likely be a charming, nostalgic steam locomotive, somewhat similar to 2016's 10254 Winter Holiday Train but more detailed and larger in size. We can expect a classic steam engine in Christmas-themed green and red with further gold detailing alongside a coal tender and two festive passenger carriages adorned with wreaths, garlands, and snowy roof elements, for example.

Whilst 10254 Winter Holiday Train focused more on delivering a large Christmas tree and presents via railroad, 2025's 10361 is more likely to give our ever-festive Minifigures a ride through the winter snow. The last two LEGO Winter Village models have included five LEGO Minifigures, and we can expect the same amount again, including the likes of a locomotive driver, a ticket collector and plenty of passengers, both young and old.
