        by Holger Matthes

        You played with a LEGO train set in the 80s? In this book you will meet your set from back then again! Holger Matthes, author of »LEGO Railway« and well-known expert on the subject at AFOL (Adults Friends of LEGO), describes all LEGO railroad sets of that time and takes you into the world of trains and minifigures with large-format panoramic images of LEGO railroad landscapes. Building instructions for your own new Gray Era-style models inspire you to recreate them; among them are models that integrate LEGO's latest PoweredUp! engines with Bluetooth control. By the way, such models also run on the current tracks – play fun for today's kids is guaranteed. Collectors of the sets from the legendary Gray Era, named after the color of the tracks, will turn to the book with its detailed listing of all sets of the era and lots of background info for reference.
