About LEGO Classic Wooden Box Set

LEGO Classic Wooden Box Sets were among the first construction sets introduced by the company. They typically contained a variety of bricks and, in some cases, baseplates or other elements. The bricks in these sets were made of plastic, but the packaging was wooden, reflecting the company's transition from its roots as a wooden toy manufacturer to a primarily plastic one. These wooden boxes are now considered rare collector's items, representing an early era in LEGO's history.
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.
