About LEGO Classic Town Plan
LEGO Town Plan was a theme introduced in 1958 and lasted until 1966 and was under the System i Leg (System of Play) theme. The theme was unveiled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in February 1955. LEGO Town Plan originally consisted of the existing 700 series LEGO Mursten sets, several new HO 1:87 scale accessories, and a vinyl play mat. However, over the next several years the system was expanded with both new building sets.
1962 LEGO Sets
In 1962, LEGO introduced one of its most important innovations—the wheel. This addition transformed LEGO from a static building toy into a dynamic system of movement. The first wheel sets (400 and 401) featured plastic hubs with rubber tires, enabling realistic vehicles and construction models. The company also expanded globally into Asia, Africa, and Australia, and established a process development lab in Billund that pioneered the switch to ABS plastic, which became standard the following year.
