The LEGO community is excited about the Holiday Express Train (10361-1), particularly its potential for motorization using the Powered Up system, though some find the official LEGO motors expensive and recommend alternatives like CADA. While the track pieces are standard, availability issues with the required Hub (88009) and Remote (88010) are a concern, though they aren't officially retired.
Many are looking to motorize the train using the Bluetooth-enabled hub and app, with some suggesting purchasing separate motors or complete train sets for parts. The high cost of LEGO's official Powered Up components is a recurring concern, leading some to recommend third-party alternatives.
