Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Push-Along Play Train since April 1973. Medium accuracy
LEGO 170 Push-Along Play Train was a 93 piece Trains set released in 1972. It includes three sections of a train which also includes the engine.
Push-Along Play Train is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 170-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 2,664 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $230.63 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Push-Along Play Train is a very old set from 1972, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

“The Lego 170 Push Along Play Train Set is a set for the younger children demographic. I feel that this was a right choice for Lego to do, because in this set there are no dangerous electrical parts to be to harm the children. The set has 93 pieces, including three train... More cars, one being the main train engine and two passenger car.”

About Trains 4.5V / 12V

In 1972 LEGO released the 4.5V and 12V train sets as part of the Blue Era which was named because of the rail color. These train sets used additional conductor rails mounted between the standard 4.5V rails and 12V motors contained in the same housings as the 4.5V motors, but with additional metal contacts attached to the bottom of the housings.

4.5V / 12V consists of 83 sets that ran from 1972 to 1986. As of today, 7750 Steam Engine with Tender is the most valuable 4.5V / 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $6,646.
Summary
Trains 4.5V / 12V Push-Along Play Train set 170 was released in April 1973, retailing for $5, but has since been retired. New, unopened Push-Along Play Train sets are valued at $231, while used sets can be found for $49.
