“It looks as if Lego tried to use as much of the new parts in as many different sets as possible. Mission accomplished, this one works very well. But the parts don't end in themselves, the all contribute to a harmonic design and nice working features. This maintenance wagon... More uses the big new "space" stands. The platform can be rotated, but must be locked when the train is running.”

“The Lego 7821 Track & Lighting Maintenance Wagon is your quick night-time relief on the Lego train track! What happens if lights go off in the rails of Legoland? Call the maintenance crew to fix the problem! The set includes 90 pieces, and of those 90 pieces, comes with two... More minifigures, and more tools that you can shake a brick at! The best part about this set, that it’s portable! You can attach this Maintenance wagon to any 12 volt Lego train line just in case the unexpected happens. So when you’re in a pickle, you know who to call! This would make a great addition to any Lego Train set.”

“In 1983, LEGO introduced a second wave of sets for the train system, replacing some sets from the first wave. This second wave again came with several stand alone "extra" rolling stock sets, and this 7821 is one of them.”

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 $7,186.
Summary
Trains 4.5V / 12V Track & Lighting Maintenance Wagon set 7821 was released in October 1983, retailing for $8, but has since been retired. New, unopened Track & Lighting Maintenance Wagon sets are valued at $254, while used sets can be found for $36.
