Posted April 24, 20231 yr Hello, I am looking for information about this type of train/station, dating from around 1981. Thank you so much
April 24, 20231 yr Hey, can you tell us a little more? What do you already know about this train, where did it come from? Where have you looked?
April 24, 20231 yr Author I searched on brickbowl.com and asked hotbricks.com but without success. I found many trains but no blue rail unfortunately. I find this picture but not train on it Edited April 24, 20231 yr by jean_p_hil
April 24, 20231 yr That's the 744/404 4,5V motor with unrelated blue rails and unrelated batterybox Next pic is the 7824 Train Station The only thing they have in common are that they're made by TLG There were no yellow motors used in the light grey/blue rail era (or any traqin era actually)

April 25, 20231 yr 20 hours ago, Murdoch17 said: The yellow motor looks like the '70's windup motor with train wheels added on. The windup thing is actually from 1981. The yellow 4,5V motor is from 1976 (but was never used in any train sets only in the awesome BASIC sets) 2 hours ago, Murdoch17 said: Blue rails are from 4.5 era only.

Blue rails were most certainly used with 12V also. Please do a minimum of research There are a blue and a grey rail era. Both used 4,5V and 12V Then 9V powered rails in dark gray and dark bluish grey Today it's all dark bluish grey tracks with a silly number of different ways to power the trains with batteries Edited April 25, 20231 yr by 1974
April 25, 20231 yr Author Thank you so much, I continue my research. There were boxes with only blue rails ? Maybe I'm looking for a train that doesn't exist? I found another part, I will add pictures soon Edited April 25, 20231 yr by jean_p_hil
April 25, 20231 yr You mentioned brickbowl and hotbricks (brickowl and hothbricks?) but not the two obvious sites: Bricklink and Brickset.
April 25, 20231 yr The yellow motor was - like mentioned before in this topic - not used for trains. The grey battery box was also never used with trains. The blue tracks were used with push trains, 4,5 volt trains and 12 volt trains (60s-70s). The trainstation has been identified correctly. None of these sets are related to eachother, besides the fact they are LEGO, they don't appear in the same sets.
April 26, 20231 yr Author Sorry, I found other parts. I post pics later See this part, 7720 box But for this, I don't know: But you right, the yellow wagon come from another box.
April 26, 20231 yr The black 4.5V train motor and light gray curved rails are the only parts you have shown so far that came in 7720. (EDIT: Sorry, originally thought the curved rails in the photo were blue!) The black one-piece wagons with red wheels appear to be Part x487 (Train Base 6x12 with Wheels), which came in 12 sets (but not 7720). The electrical bits in your last photo appear to be a light sensor and touch sensors, most likely from a ROBOLAB set Edited April 26, 20231 yr by CMF-1138
