“The 161 Battery wagon is a set for the 4.5 volt line. The purpose of this set is to send charge into the battery, the battery life last a lot longer then the battery box, but unfortunately, it only goes one direction at a time. A surprise I found, was that the battery wagon... More itself is one solid piece, cutting the number of pieces down, to 8 pieces! Those pieces being wires, a lid for the box, and a signal piece for the train set. The signal does the same thing as the 156: Signals.”

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.
