The image from page 34 of the LEGO Idea Book 240-1, published in 1964, prominently features a train station at the top, depicted in the classic 1960s LEGO style with a simple rectangular base, a pitched roof, and basic elements like windows, doors, and a platform. Accompanied by train tracks and a minimalist train model, the station is designed to inspire children to build their own railway scenes using standard bricks. Reflecting the era’s focus on transportation and community, this illustration captures LEGO’s early emphasis on imaginative play within the System and Town Plan themes.
