LEGO® Trains and Tracks
LEGO® Train: from passenger trains to freight trains
With a LEGO® Train, you build much more than just a locomotive. You can create a complete railway with carriages, stations, level crossings, points and accessories, and keep expanding the track. Over the years, the train range has included both passenger trains and a LEGO® freight train, offering plenty to discover for different types of builders and collectors.
Modern train sets combine building with technology. The LEGO® City Freight Train 60336 uses Powered Up technology, allowing the locomotive to be controlled with a remote control or a compatible smart device. The set also includes carriages, cargo, vehicles and 33 track pieces. Several passenger trains are motorised as well and designed to run on the track.
A LEGO® train station completes a railway world. Station sets can include platforms, waiting areas, ticket machines, timetables and minifigures. This makes them more than just decorative: they also provide extra opportunities for building stories around travellers and train traffic.
Electric LEGO® trains and different types of track
Running a LEGO® train on electricity has been part of the history of LEGO® trains for decades. The first battery-powered train appeared in the 1960s, followed by various systems. As a result, older 4.5V and 12V systems now exist alongside more modern technologies such as Powered Up.
For collectors, it is important to check carefully which system an older train belongs to. For example, an old LEGO® train may use different rails, motors, and power supplies than a modern train. The De BrickPlaats collection includes older gray electric rails for 12V systems and rails for 4.5V trains, among other items. This category is therefore also interesting for anyone looking to expand or complete an existing vintage train layout.
LEGO® train rails ultimately determine how large and extensive your railway layout will be. With straight rails, curves, and switches, you can adjust routes and connect multiple tracks. When buying older parts, always check that the type of rails is suitable for the train system you use.
Buy LEGO® Train for Building and Collecting
LEGO® Train appeals to both children and adult collectors. Children can build routes with modern train sets, transport cargo, and take passengers to a LEGO® train station. Complete train sets are attractive to gift buyers because building, technology, and role-play come together in one model.
For collectors, the history of LEGO® trains is particularly interesting. An old LEGO® train may be part of a classic system and include rails, motors, and parts that are no longer produced today. Old stations, locomotives, wagons, and train minifigures can also be interesting additions to an existing collection.
At De BrickPlaats, you will find both new and used LEGO® Train products. The selection may include complete train sets, individual rails, stations, minifigures, and older parts. Always read the condition and description carefully for each product, so you know what is included and which train system or type of rails belongs with the product.
