“The Lego 163 Cargo wagon is similar to the 162 Locomotive, because you can make different kinds of creations out of it. In this case, this set is a crane that you could make three different creations, but they have more purpose then the other one. The first thing you can... More make is a crane wagon; this crane wagon works the same as the other crane products. Another is a tipper wagon, and a oil rig. The set also came with two minifigures, and a few pieces of tracks.”

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.
