Description

A steam locomotive and its wagons

The set shows a train with a steam locomotive, the way goods were once hauled on the classic railway. The 12V range was one of the systems where power reached the train through the rails and a controller set its speed. For railway fans, that was a big step up from battery-powered models. Putting a freight train at the centre suits a layout where goods are moved and loaded, with plenty to do for the people running it.

570 pieces in dark tones

With 570 pieces, the set sits among the larger boxes of its day. Black and dark grey shape the look of the locomotive, while light grey and red add accents on the wagons and details. The parts come in 88 different varieties, which points to many special shapes. The result has far more substance than a small vehicle, yet without the complexity of today's large models. The parts list shows every element with its colour.

Two figures and a layout

The two minifigures stand for the staff around the train, perhaps on the engine or by the track. The freight train really comes into its own on a layout with rails, points and buildings, as was usual for railways in those years. If you own or are hunting for a set from this era, note that running it needed extra parts such as track and a controller, which may not be included in the set itself.

Collecting, checking, reusing

Today the train mainly interests collectors who value early railways. With a second-hand copy, the parts list on this page helps you check it is complete. If you would rather put the bricks to new use, the "What can I build?" tool shows which models you can make from these parts and the rest of your collection. The large amounts of black and grey in particular are useful for vehicles and buildings alike.
