About Trains 9V
The 9 V train minifigures are the railway staff and passengers of the trains from 1991 to 2006. The early sets have railway employees in red vests and caps, some with a number printed on the torso, and conductors in dark blue suits with a train logo. Around them are travellers, workers in construction helmets and townspeople in the classic striped shirts of the time. A few are tied to LEGO Loco, the train computer game of 1998, in its railway uniform. Named characters are rare, with exceptions such as Conductor Charlie and Engineer Max.
