LEGO 343-1 Train Ferry is a Classic Vehicle set released in 1968, containing 147 pieces. The model depicts a train ferry with hinged loading doors and deck space sized to carry two regular train cars. It features early 1x4 hinge bricks and specialized baseplates associated with LEGO’s blue rail era.

Production examples are known with two baseplate variants—one with many studs and another with fewer studs. This version was released in Europe and the United Kingdom, while the same model was sold in North America as 343-2 under the Samsonite Model Maker line.

A new and sealed Train Ferry is currently valued at around $1,343, with annual growth of approximately 9%. The average used price is $160 for those in good overall condition. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $1,450 within the next year.
Train Ferry has become a rare vintage set, as set 343-1 has not been seen for sale in new/good condition online or in retail for over one year. Its actual value is likely above the current estimate. The last brand new Train Ferry was sold on eBay.

About Classic Vehicle

The LEGO Classic Vehicle theme from the 1960s featured sets that centered on creating various vehicles using LEGO bricks. Distinct from the more detailed and specialized vehicle sets of later years, the 1960s theme provided basic parts and simple designs to construct cars, trucks, and other common vehicles. These sets were a part of LEGO's effort to expand its product range and offer builders thematic sets that focused on everyday objects and transportation modes.

Vehicle consists of 24 sets that ran from 1961 to 1969. As of today, 330-3 Jeep is the most valuable Vehicle set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $3,015.
