Trains

From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki.

There are some different Train systems in the LEGO universe. Lego trains have been through a number of different changes, which can be roughly summed up in four major eras. Unlike most other themes, where AFOLs tend to use the latest pieces, some people continue to use older varieties of trains due to personal, historical and practical reasons.

In 1966 the first era of LEGO trains began, characterised by white ties and blue rails. Wheels were often red. The second era (1980 - 1990), characterised by dark grey ties (sleepers for our UK brethren) and light grey rails. Wheels were red or black. Both 4.5V (battery powered) and 12V (DC powered using addon center conductor rails) sets were available during this era.

The introduction of 9V-trains in 1991 marked the end of the earlier two voltages. This era is characterised by integral molded dark grey rail/tie assemblies with metal conducting rails. The line was renamed Hobby Trains by LEGO in 2006 to differentiate it from the Infrared line introduced that year.

In 2006, LEGO Company introduces RC trains. These trains get their energy from batteries on board and are controlled via a remotecontrol. For these trains, new tracks (7895, 7896) were introduced. In 2009 Engine Emerald Night was released in had many new parts, colors, and wheels. With the set came many new Train Accessories including Transformer 10VDC and others were released.

Not mentioned here are Duplo Trains and the monorail-system.
