Minifig Facts
In 1974, LEGO introduced the first generation of figures, often referred to as "pre-minifigures" or "stage extra figures." These early figures featured solid torsos without movable arms, solid legs, and heads without printed facial features. They were included in sets prior to the debut of the modern LEGO minifigure in 1978.

Review for LEGO set 148 Central Station from BrickTrains-Sets
“The Lego 148 Station is the first building piece that includes minifigures. The set includes 293 pieces, including the 5 minifigures and baseplate, and 6 pieces of track. I’m not really sure if it is a 4.5 or 12 volt line, because with the 12 volt line, they still use those... More blue tracks, but you can put the metallic track in the middle. So I consider it both.”
