The Ghost Train Reviews
Eurobricks
“Thumbs up for: The theme itself (who doesn't love monsters?) and an interesting idea for a haunted locomotive (that could probably still be improved upon). Also the figures are pretty cool. Thumbs down for: Dropping the ball after giving us two decent models.”
Brickset
“The main attraction of the set is of course the glowing elements, and are easily charge on a cloudy day in the windowsill, with no blazing greenhouse required! The train is a masterpiece to display and for play, but the only slight, minute downside is that the wings easily... More droop on their black arm pieces.”

A total of six minifigures are included in the set; Lord Vampyre, Vampyre Bride, two Manbats, and two monster... More fighters (Dr. Rodney Rathbone and Jack McHammer).”
