  Purchased for: Self

  I got 2 of these when I purchased 2x of the latest passenger train (connected back to back). I removed the hub and motor at the rear and used it in my Emerald Night. I tested with bt remote and phone app .... 2x motors (one reversed), lights and colour sensor all work perfect. However, I have the passenger loco running with a motor in port A and the lights in port B, but I have nowhere to plug in the sensor ? We need 4 ports per hub or y split-er, so we could do .... 1x motor 2x light 1x sensor (my passenger train) 2x motor 1x light 1x sensor (my emerald night) 2x motor 2x light We also need long and short extension cables please Lego !

  First the good. You can make programs for your builds and because of this 2 trains can run at once. Also if you want you can run this with your phone. these are both awesome features. The bad. Batteries will die on you fast. even if you have good batteries they will not last long. The batteries are also a lot of work to change. Like a lot of comments are saying, this should be a USB-C charged item, and I think that would probably increase playtime too. I know I answered "Target" for where I got this Item. I want to clarify. I have 2 from both train sets. I got the passenger train at Target and the Cargo train at the Lego store. Both power up hubs in those sets seem to act similar, but the Cargo Train does seem to do better.

  This is a brilliant product of the Powered Up line, but I have a question: Why did this only not work today? This Hub has worked nicely for 2 years with the handset, and worked well for 3 months with the powered up app. But suddenly, today, it stopped working. I used the programming section of the app for this product, and the sensor, Large motor, train light and train motor have functioned correctly in all areas. But today, when I pressed the button to start the program, the light flashed across my screen to indicate that the program was running, but with my machine, nothing was happening. I don’t know if anything like this has happened to you, but it did for me. What might have happened?

  Oh dear, that doesn't sound good. Please try a full set of new batteries and update your app, if there's any updates available. If that doesn't fix the issue, get in touch with our experts at LEGO.build/Service-BV for more help.

  Missed opportunity

  Rediscovering Lego 38 years after receiving my very own first Lego set must be the best thing about parenting. So many new builds to explore! I surprised my 7-year old son with the Lego City Train set that comes with this hub and was surprised hub and remote take 10 (!) AAA batteries together. Judging by the other reviews these may go in a day. Would it be a good idea to use rechargeable lithium batteries that can be charged using a USB cable (like a phone)?
