“The Lego 723 Diesel Locomotive with DB Stickers is an exact replica of the 723: Locomotive from 1970. I'm not sure why they decided to release this set, for the third time in a row! I assume it is a popular train from the 4.5 line, and they decided to revamp it for the 12... More volt line.”

About Trains 4.5V / 12V

4512V covers the LEGO trains of the 4.5 V and 12 V systems from the 1970s and 1980s. The 4.5 V trains ran on batteries carried in a wagon or tender, while the 12 V trains drew power from conductor rails laid between the running rails, fed by a transformer with a speed control. Until 1980 the track was blue, which gave these years the name of the Blue Era.

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 $6,368.
