Trains
From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki.
This article is about the theme. For the set, see LEGO Train.
The very first train was released in 1965 323 Train, without any track it had ordinary road wheels. It was released only during that year, because in 1966 the LEGO Group introduced the first sets with track and battery powered motors.
LEGO 4.5V Trains were first introduced in 1966. They had blue rails and white sleepers (standard 8 x 2 plates), and the locomotives used the standard 4-wheel drive LEGO 4.5V motor unit. The wheels were flanged train wheels with rubber rims for traction, that were pushed into the motors. The batteries were carried behind the engine in a tender, or in a battery box built into the engine in the earlier sets.
The second era (1980 - 1990), characterised by dark gray ties (sleepers) and light gray rails. Wheels were red or black. Both 4.5V (battery powered) and 12V (DC powered using add-on 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 gray 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 remote control. For these trains, new tracks (7895, 7896) were introduced. In 2009 Engine Emerald Night was released and had new steam train type 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.
