Ben, I've done some further research -

I just placed some scans of my 1968 Samsonite catalog online here:
http://home.comcast.net/~strand_lego/3369-US/
I don't think that 100 or 103 were available in the USA so I'm still guessing
107 was the motorized set.

Thanks Eric,

for pointing this out. I just wanted to check, if 107 was from 1976 or 1975 and
now I saw first time in my life, that set number 107 has not only used twice but
three times. I never saw the samsonite 107 so far (which is in fact identical
with "our" 100).

I had the 4.5 V motor with the technic axle hole in mind, when you mentioned
107. Now I see I just misinterpreted your correct information.

Kind regards,

Ben




Also interesting that 115 isn't included in the
catalog.  I've seen many USA Samsonite 111 and 113 but still haven't seen a 115.
115 may have never been released in the USA - needs further research.

There is another later variety of the USA "The Lego Story" brochure which
includes some additonal sets.  Seen on Joe Lauher's page.

I'll have some better scans of this brochure at some future date.

Thanks,
Eric

(...) It would be nice if LEGO never used the same set number twice, however that makes this fun. :) Eric (20 years ago, 28-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)
