Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Electric Goods Train Set since January 1980. Medium accuracy
LEGO 7730 Electric Goods Train Set was a 512 piece Trains set with 2 minifigs released in 1980. It features a detailed steam locomotive with doors, windows, and a 12v motor, with a design inspired by the Deutsche Bahn's Baureihe 80. The set includes three basic but playable goods wagons: an open-top hopper, a refrigerated boxcar, and a silo wagon.

The current value for a new and sealed Electric Goods Train Set is estimated at $5,400, with an average annual growth of approximately 9%. On the open market, a used set will sell in the range of $310 and $408, depending on its condition.
Electric Goods Train Set (set 7730-1) 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 $5,400.39 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1980, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.

“This set was a basic entry into the 12v world, therefore it surely was a very important element of the product range. But it is not as iconic as its successor 7727 or as the famous 7740. Compared to set 7710, the steam locomotive is more advanced: is has doors, is has a... More motor, it doesn't look so basic. All in all, it is obvious that Lego wanted to provide variety, even if things looked similar at first glance.”

“The Lego 7740 Inter-City Passenger Train set is the first traditional passenger train set like the ones we see today. The set includes 786 pieces, and comes with 10 minifigures! The set has three train cars, but they are the prime example of detail. The train is supposed to... More represent trains you would see in a big city, it has things on top of the train to act as an electricity conductor to make the train move. Speaking of electricity, the set is part of the 12 volt line. This set would make an Excellent addition to any train track.”

About Trains 4.5V / 12V

In 1972 LEGO released the 4.5V and 12V train sets as part of the Blue Era which was named because of the rail color. These 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.

4.5V / 12V consists of 83 sets that ran from 1972 to 1986. As of today, 7730 Electric Goods Train Set is the most valuable 4.5V / 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $5,400.
