LEGO® Small Train Set

Description

The compact railway

Belonging to the Train / 4.5V line, this 1966 set from LEGO® has 88 pieces in 17 types, which makes it the smallest of the train sets released that year. There are no minifigures, and the parts are mainly aimed at wagons and bodywork. Holding it, you get a train in miniature. The parts list further down the page sets out every type with colour and quantity and helps you check a copy you already own.

Colours of the line

Blue, red, light grey and white form the palette. Blue defines the range, red gives accents, light grey covers the underside, and white lightens things up. The mix looks orderly and is easy to combine with other train sets. If you own several, the wagons match in colour as long as the blues do not drift too far apart, which becomes obvious as soon as you set pieces beside each other.

Extending and rebuilding

At 88 pieces a train will not be long, but it provides a decent foundation for your own ideas. Lengthen it with bricks from your collection or add new wagons. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which models your own bricks and these pieces can form together. That is especially useful when you are unsure whether a second wagon needs parts you do not own, or whether everything is already in your box.

Checking and placing it

If you buy a used copy, go through the 17 types one by one and compare quantities with the list. Small pieces are the ones that most often go missing. Note the colour of any gaps, since blue and red can differ slightly between years. Next to the larger starter sets with 118 or 132 pieces, this is the modest option, but it is no less appealing for beginners and collectors, and it can be checked in a single evening.
