ZENEBricks Remote Controller Motor Power Pack for LEGO 10361 Holiday Express Train – Upgrade Kit Only (Batteries Not Included)

Upgrade your LEGO 10361 Holiday Express Train

Bring the iconic Holiday Express Train to life with the ZENEBricks Remote Controller Motor Power Pack. This upgrade kit is designed as Power Pack Only — Model Not Included, and the handheld controller requires AAA batteries while the battery box holds its own AAA power. Batteries are not included, so you can choose the brand and type you prefer for your setup.

Compared with the traditional Power Functions setup, the Powered Up system used here offers stronger signal and more reliable control. The result is a more responsive model train with smoother starts, steadier stops, and quieter operation—an appealing touch for display arrangements or interactive play sessions around the holidays.

The motor drive is crafted to fit neatly onto the tender, preserving the classic silhouette while enabling modern control. By extending the tender and elevating the battery box, cable routing remains tidy and the overall appearance stays faithful to the original build. The upgrade also adds a tactile experience when operating the train, with a tangible sense of motion that hobbyists, families, and display enthusiasts can enjoy.
