726 Western Train was a 291 piece 12V Trains set released in 1976 that included three LEGOLAND Minifigures and a circle of track. The set was also called "Wild West Express". It features a classic 19th-century locomotive with a smokestack, water boiler, moveable drive shafts, two carriages, three cowboy figures, and a LEGO brick-built black horse. This model is thought to have inspired the Western locomotives that later appeared in LEGOLAND Park. The train model came pre-assembled and included a circular track. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $1,736 within the next year.
Western Train (726-1) is a very old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Because of its scarcity, the current estimated value of in new condition of $1,602.68 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1976, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for 726 Western Train at this time.
