Description

A train with a motor

This set belongs to the Train / 12V range, from the days when trains ran on tracks powered by twelve volts. That makes it a special piece: not a pure brick model, but a toy that was meant to move. Its 288 pieces form a locomotive and wagons in a western style, the kind you know from films. For collectors of old railway sets it is a nice example of how early the railway theme and the Wild West were brought together.

Colours and crew

Black, blue, red and yellow are the four main colours. Black suits a steam engine, red and yellow supply the accents, and blue loosens up the picture. With 48 different parts the selection is respectable for a set this size. Three minifigures either ride along or wait on the platform, depending on how you stage the scene. The parts list on this page gives the colour and quantity of every element, so you can check a second-hand copy against it.

Play it or display it

A train is a model that only really comes alive on a track. If you own a railway set from this era, the Western Train can run on the rails and be joined with stations from other sets to form a small landscape. It also works as a display piece, since the wagons are compact and the colours are bold. When buying used sets, make sure the wheels and connecting parts are complete and not worn loose.

Parts for other projects

You can use this page even without the train itself. The “What can I build?” tool compares the bricks you already own with the catalogue and shows which sets you could rebuild from them. Black, red, blue and yellow in particular turn up in almost every collection. Missing elements can be tracked down through the parts list, so you do not have to hunt for the whole set when you only lack a few wheels, plates or special bricks.
