Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Railroad Control Tower since January 1968. Medium accuracy
LEGO 340-3 Railroad Control Tower was a 86 piece Classic set released in 1968. It was also called "Signal Box" and consists of a vintage railroad control tower featuring unique green base plate, windows, and doors.
Railroad Control Tower (set 340-3) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of $546.68 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1968, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.

“The Lego 340 Signal box is the very first building that Lego has made for their Train line. The Signal box is modeled after a real life train signal tower; it includes 86 pieces including the base plate. These Buildings that Lego makes for the Train line during this period,... More is not supposed to have minifigures inside it; other than for decoration.”

“This 1968 LEGO railroad control tower is a simple yet effective design that complements vintage train layouts. Its unique baseplate, exclusive to this set, stands out alongside functional features like the wraparound windows and stairway. While the thinner baseplate construction requires care, the set remains a classic addition to any train system.”
 

About Classic Building

The LEGO Classic Building theme from the 1960s consisted of sets that focused on general construction and architectural design using standard LEGO bricks. Unlike specialized themes, the Classic Building sets from this era emphasized foundational building techniques and allowed for the creation of various structures and designs. It represented one of LEGO's early efforts to promote versatile brick-based construction.

Building consists of 8 sets that ran from 1963 to 1968. As of today, 324-2 House with Garage is the most valuable Building set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,130.
