“The Lego 116 Starter train set with motor / Deluxe Lego train set is very similar to the 117 Locomotive without motor, but it didn’t come with any train cars or tracks. A total of 439 pieces, including 40 tracks, this set is one of the larger starter sets of its time. The... More four other train cars, is an attachment to the main train engine, a postal service train car, a passenger car, and an cargo wagon. The set even came with a battery box and electric wire.”

About Trains 4.5V

The LEGO 4.5V train theme ran from 1966 until 1971 and contained 39 sets in all. The 4.5V trains used to be the voltage standard for the first electric LEGO components where the power came from a battery box with 3x 1.5V batteries.

4.5V consists of 39 sets that ran from 1966 to 1971. As of today, 113-2 Motorized Train Set is the most valuable 4.5V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $3,736.
