Lego Railway


Lego Railway

Not as fast, nor as exciting as Scalextric, but kids still got a thrill out of derailing the trains with pieces of household furniture or running over the Lego passengers.

Engines ran at a snail's pace along blue plastic rails, which you could build into smooth curves, tight curves, level crossings, points and junctions.

It wasn't quite Hornby, but it was still one of the most popular toys of the year.
