Brickset
Nice Little Set, excellent level crossing piece. — “An excellent early train set. Most crucially, the level crossing plate/ramp piece has forwards-compatibility with newer train sets such as 7745 with the center power track having a place instead of a removable long plate in the middle of the level crossing.”

“The Lego 146 level crossing is a track accessory that you can place in, to improve the look of your track. The Level crossing’s purpose was to have the ability to let the new implemented cars to cross the track. The set includes 68 pieces, of those 68 pieces there are 4... More tracks, a minifigure, and the new implemented safety rail piece. The set works with any 4.5, or 12 volt sets.”

About Trains 4.5V / 12V

In 1972 LEGO released the 4.5V and 12V train sets as part of the Blue Era which was named because of the rail color. These train sets used additional conductor rails mounted between the standard 4.5V rails and 12V motors contained in the same housings as the 4.5V motors, but with additional metal contacts attached to the bottom of the housings.

4.5V / 12V consists of 83 sets that ran from 1972 to 1986. As of today, 7750 Steam Engine with Tender is the most valuable 4.5V / 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $6,957.

For train enthusiasts from 6 years The LEGO train is the only train children can build themselves. There are building instructions in the boxes, but children can also invent new trains of their own design. You can start with the push-train and later on build the LEGO motor into it. Or you can get a train with the battery motor and have it motorized from the start. The most important thing about a LEGO train is that it can always be rebuilt and extended to suit changing ages and interests.
