“The Lego 159 Straight track with Crossing, Is the same as lego set 156, but added in a cross rail from the 155 Cross Rails, Straight Track and Base Plates, but that set came with two cross rails, eight rails, and two baseplates, while this one comes with one cross rail, and... More 21 rails.”

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.
