Is there someone that has a Lego Samsonite #021, Wheels who can give me a
parts inventory for this set?
Did it come with an instruction booklet?

In Database/Set inventories / 311 exist a complete one.

And a help for me, who Knows of a Town plan 725 inventory?

Hi Manuel,

First a few things about the Samsonite sets.  Many of the European sets from
the 1950's and 1960's had a parts list ("beipackzettel" in German).  I have
never seen one of these in any Samsonite set.  A question for you on your 725
Town Plan set.  Do you have the earlier (1961-62) version with the boy on the
box with brown hair?  Or do you have the later (1963-64) version with the boy
on the box who has very short blond hair?  I have the later set (which I
purchased incomplete).  If you have the earlier set, then that set is
identical to the European 810 Town Plan set.  I know Mark Harrison posted the
contents to the 810 set (which originated from Phil Traviss in England).  I
will Email you a copy of that original contents list.

The way I would go about it is to actually build the Town Plan.  That should
give you a close guess as to the parts counts.  There will probably be about
20 or 30 extra pieces.  I have the 717 Junior Constructor set (1963-64
version), the other large set that Samsonite sold.  Luckily that set was
complete, although opened.  There were about 20 extra pieces.  I will do a
parts inventory and will share the results.

There are actually 4 different Town Plan sets (two of which are probably
identical).  They are:

1960-68  #810 Town Plan sold in Continental Europe and UK (until 1962) (boy
with brown hair).
1963-66  #810 Town Plan UK only version (boy on box with brown hair and
wearing a tie).
1961-63  #725 Town Plan sold in USA/Canada (same box and contents as 1960-68
European 810)
1963-64  #725 Town Plan sold in USA/Canada (boy on box with short blond hair).

The Town Plan boards to these sets were as follows:

#200 - 1960-68 Continental Europe/UK (1960-62) Board.
#200 - 1963-66 UK only board has different layout of the same town blocks.
#246 - 1961-62 USA/Canada board is identical to the Continental European
board.
#246 - 1963-64 USA/Canada board has updated front, but same layout as earlier
#246.

Saddly I have to say that I have the later one. It is incomplete (is without cars, except a bug VW black, but I think this not belongs here, maybe a tree, a light). I built all the houses, I have a little difficult to built the esso service, because (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.general)
