“The Lego 742 12v Transformer for 100 volt mains is basically a universal remote for all the things going on in your train track. There are ports in the transformer that controls the train, of course, one for the switch tracks, and one for the signals. It is great because all... More these devices to control the switch track snaps onto place on the transformer, so you can have a neater train station.”

About Trains 12V

In 1969 LEGO released the 12 volt train sets as part of the Blue Era which was named because of the rail color. These 12V 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.

12V consists of 17 sets that ran from 1969 to 1970. As of today, 722-2 12V Electric Train with 2 Wagons is the most valuable 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,151.
