“The set includes a white, red, yellow and black train, with Shell stickers on either side of the train. It also includes a Shell Worker.”

Brickset

“The build is sturdy and blocky. It looks recognizable, but nothing more. One of the least attractive train sets. Playability is close to zero, the set is just a bunch of mainly basic bricks. Maybe this was the reason why it had been dropped from the line-up very early.”

“The Lego 7816 Shell Tanker Wagon is another endorsement from the shell petrol company. It is a re selling, and remake of the 136: Tanker Wagon from 1975, but more up to date. The 7816 pays more attention to detail then the 136: Tanker Wagon, the Shell Company uses the colors... More red, white, and yellow.”

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 $5,405.
