Description

A train with a motor

The name already gives it away: this set offers more than bricks, since it is a motorised train set meant for a railway that moves by itself. That was a big attraction of early train themes. For collectors today it means that besides the completeness of the bricks, the condition of the mechanics counts too. This page has the parts list, which helps you check exactly what a particular copy contains. Anyone buying such a set should keep an eye on both things, the parts and the mechanics.

364 parts, 40 types

With 364 parts the set sits below the Super Train Set, yet it has 40 different types and so a decent amount of variety. That points to a blend of basic bricks and the special parts a locomotive and wagons need. How many pieces belong to each type is visible in the list. No minifigures are included, which fits the era, when figures of their own were not yet part of the range. If you want passengers or railway staff, add them from other stock.

A calmer colour scheme

Compared with other train sets of the period, the colour choice is more restrained: red, black, blue and light grey. Light grey is a shade that suits track surroundings, platforms or walls, though the data does not say where exactly it appears in the set. Red and blue supply the accents and black adds depth. Overall the mix looks more sober, closer to a real railway than the louder sets tend to be. That suits a layout meant to look realistic rather than playful, with a platform and buildings.

Building on and collecting

If you own the set, the bricks work very well for station buildings, bridges and other structures. The “What can I build?” tool lets you check which models are possible together with your own stock. For collectors the main question is whether every type is present. With motorised parts from this period, test only with care: old electrics may be faulty and should not be run unchecked. Even without a working motor the set stays useful as a stock of bricks and as a display piece.
