1966 LEGO Sets
1966 marked one of LEGO’s greatest milestones with the launch of the LEGO Train system. Sold in 42 countries, the range introduced a 4.5V battery-powered system and a 12V electrified track version for advanced users. Specialized parts such as hook couplers, flanged wheels, and curved track debuted alongside sets like 113, 114, and 115, setting a new standard for mechanical play. Accessories soon followed, including a whistle-controlled motor unit. These innovations, led by LEGO Futura and the process development lab, established Trains as one of LEGO’s most enduring product lines.
