“The Lego 118 Electric Train is more of a DIY (do it yourself) kind of train, it came with a motor, tires, wheels, plugs magnets and a speaker. This set includes 110 pieces, and of those 110 pieces, it includes a train motor, battery box, speaker, and track. It was said that... More the speakers was supposed to make train sounds as it went around the track. They replaced the hooks to connect the train ant the train cars, with magnets.”

“LEGO set 118, the Electronic Train from 1968, is a truly special piece for vintage LEGO collectors. This unique set features an electronic control system, where blowing a whistle would start or stop the train—cutting-edge technology for its time. The set's rare components, like the whistle, microphone, and special battery box, make it a prized collector's item.”
