LEGO® Motorized Train Set

Description

A railway with its own drive

The name already tells you what this is about: the train does not just roll when you push it but has a drive of its own. The catalogue files the set under Train / 4.5V, an early voltage class of the railway line. For 1966 that was a special idea, because building a vehicle was joined by the fun of running a train that really moves. If you are interested in the history of the railway range, this is an illustrative piece from its beginnings.

Blue, light grey and red, with a view through

Blue leads the main colours, followed by light grey and red. The standout is trans-clear, which for a train brings windows and light surfaces to mind. This blend separates the set from the plain brick boxes of the same period, because the colours here follow the function of a vehicle. On the shelf the mix looks lively, with strong blue meeting calm grey and the red bricks adding small accents without making the whole model look restless or crowded.

334 pieces for vehicle and extras

With 334 pieces in 29 types, the set is more than a single carriage. It leaves room for a locomotive and further building parts that can grow into a small scene. There are no minifigures, as the figures only arrived much later. The parts list on this page shows each type with its quantity, which is helpful when you are checking a second-hand set, since motorized sets in particular often lose small pieces that are easily overlooked.

For rebuilding and combining

The bricks themselves are classic basic shapes and work well for your own stations, wagons or bridges. The “What can I build?” tool shows which models your stock allows once you add these parts to your collection. That is particularly interesting if you mix older railway sets and want to find out whether they form a bigger picture together. The model suits collectors as well as tinkerers who enjoy carrying on building by themselves after the first run.
