“The Lego 171 Train without motor is a more advanced version of the 170 push along play train. Why I say that is that this set has no motor, but still includes tracks. There are 147 pieces, of those pieces there are four train cars, one of those being the main train engine, a... More tipper wagon, gas tank, and storage car.”

“LEGO set 171 is a vintage push train from 1972 includes a small locomotive, three basic cars, and the option to convert it into a motorized train using additional parts, making it versatile for its time. While it may not be the most complex build, its nostalgic value and accessibility as a classic set make it a fun, collectible piece for fans of early LEGO trains.”
 

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.
