Educational toy made in plastic versions. In the mid-1950s, more explicitly engineering-themed construction toys appeared, including plastic girders, columns, and panels that could be assembled into a model curtain wall skyscraper. Later, this Girder and Panel structural system was extended to a Hydro-Dynamic setup by adding pipes, valves, tanks, nozzles, and pumps to allow construction of model plumbing, HVAC, and chemical engineering systems like a simulated distillation column. Other extensions of the system supported suburban-style housing developments (Build-A-Home), or monorail transportation systems (Skyrail). The building toy Lego was originally developed by Ole Kirk Christiansen in Billund, Denmark, in the 1930s. The name

It is a simple open-ended construction game with an emphasis on Rail Transport. The aim of the game is to construct a town in which Lego people can live. This was the first game released by Lego Media, the publishing division of The Lego Group founded after the commercial success of Mindscape's "Lego Island". At the start of the game, the player has a "Toy Box", from which they can select buildings from lists and place them directly into the space provided.
