LEGO Trains is one of the longer running themes that dates back from 1966 and ran up until 2006. During its run there were multiple sets released running on various power platforms from 4.5volt, to 9 and 12 volt sets. Later in 2011 LEGO released additional train sets using RC and Power Functions controllers under different themes like City.
1998 LEGO Sets
In 1998, LEGO took a major leap into technology and digital play with the introduction of LEGO Mindstorms, revolutionizing the way users interacted with LEGO bricks. This new theme combined programmable bricks, LEGO-compatible sensors, and motors, allowing users to build and code fully functional robots. Mindstorms became a cornerstone for LEGO’s STEM-focused educational initiatives, bridging the gap between traditional play and technology-driven learning.
