The LEGO Duplo Trains theme is a subset of the LEGO Duplo line focused on train-related builds. The sets include larger, child-friendly pieces that allow young builders to assemble train tracks, locomotives, carriages, and associated structures. Emphasizing basic construction and early motor skills, the theme offers an introduction to the world of trains and rail systems, providing youngsters an avenue for imaginative play centered around transportation and train adventures.
1988 LEGO Sets
In 1988, LEGO continued to expand and solidify its position as a leading toy manufacturer. The year witnessed the continuation of popular themes and the introduction of new ones. One of the notable introductions was the LEGO Pirates theme, which brought a fresh adventure concept to the LEGO world, complete with pirates, soldiers, island settings, and unique elements like the iconic LEGO pirate ship. This theme was groundbreaking as it included new minifigure facial expressions, departing from the classic smiley face to showcase more character-specific emotions. Meanwhile, the company maintained its commitment to educational products, with the DUPLO line catering to younger children and Technic sets offering more intricate building challenges for older fans.
