Description

A set from the education range

This set does not belong to the usual play themes but to the Educational and Dacta range, which was aimed at schools and nurseries. The Duplo and Explore line was about showing small children simple connections through play. The Push Train fits that idea: a train you push makes movement and cause tangible. At 113 pieces the set is fairly generous for that purpose, and the parts also lend themselves to free building.

Strong colours for small hands

Yellow, dark grey, red and blue dominate the parts list. The colours are clear and easy to tell apart, which makes sense for learning material aimed at children. The dark grey provides a calm base, while the brighter parts draw the eye. The list shows how the four shades are distributed across the bricks and which shapes appear most often. That helps with sorting if you plan to use the set in a classroom or at home.

Many shapes in one box

Forty-five different parts among 113 pieces is an unusually wide mix. It suggests the set holds not only standard bricks but also special elements for the train itself, such as wheels, bodywork and connecting pieces. There are no minifigures, so the train is the centrepiece. For collectors of educational sets that ratio is interesting, because it shows how much design effort could go into a set made for the very youngest builders.

Checking and reusing

If you want to check a second-hand copy, the parts list on this page lets you compare piece by piece. Since accessories tend to go missing from educational sets, the check is especially worthwhile. If you already own bricks, the “What can I build?” tool can show which further sets they make possible. Even without a goal, the list works as a reference for the parts that went into this train, and shows which of them turn up in other sets as well.
