LEGO 7740 Inter-City Passenger Train Set was a 786 piece Trains set with 10 minifigs released in 1980. It includes a big station platform, a locomotive, two passenger cars and a complete circle track.

The current value for a new and sealed Inter-City Passenger Train Set is estimated at $1,367 with an average yearly gain of about 5%. The current used prices for Inter-City Passenger Train Set can be found in the range of $333 and $432 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $360 if it is in good overall condition.
Inter-City Passenger Train Set is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 7740-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,214 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $1,366.71 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Inter-City Passenger Train Set is a very old set from 1980, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

A true flagship — “It's a flagship, and it's a highlight. It's a must-have for every collector of the grey 12v era. A huge passenger train, equipped with lights and lots of minifigs. Thanks to the new (from 1980s perspective) 6x28 baseplate, it is huge. And it looks different than any other... More train engines of the new system. It has lights, a dummy engine, and the roof can be removed. The yellow and red color scheme makes it look special, but it was re-used in later sets (7722 and 7735).”

“This is actually one of the first 12v train of the grey area. It had a little circle of track with it and also a little station, where minifigs can go and off the train. Also the front and tail lights are real working. It's a great set to start with, only you had to add a... More 12v speedregulator. It's the best 12v train you can buy.”

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, 7750 Steam Engine with Tender is the most valuable 4.5V / 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $6,646.

Building models is fun. Playing trains is fun too. With LEGO Railways you do both, so that’s double fun. And you can build LEGO people inside the carriages, just like they ought 10 be. You can have everything from an Electric inter-city express to a Battery train or even a push-along one. The new LEGO transformer/controller gives all the excitement of remote controlled points and signal lights. And the whole system is designed so that you can convert locomotives and rails from battery to electric whenever you want.
