1981 German LEGO Train Poster

I have this German 1981 LEGO Train System poster that shows the #7725, #7740 and
#7750 trains.  I was looking all over Peeron and Bricklink, and I cannot find it
anywhere.

Am I not looking in the right places, or is it not posted on either site?


The front of the folded poster shows the 3 trains, and the inside shows the tack
layout with several of each train type on the tracks.

It was for a train promotional sweepstake, and you had to cut a triangular
corner out of the poster and mail it in.  Luckily mine is intact.

Just curious.

Thanks,
Gary Istok

That is a really weird track layout.

Hi Tim,

I remember to think: "wow - what a cool layout!" in 1982 when I  first saw this.
But then I realized this had not a single loop. Today I know this may in fact be
realistically in a manner, that you do not have ovals in real life. But the play
value is definitely somewhat limited with the featured layout. The trains can
not switch from one line to the other. And they only can drife back and forth
and for sure never reach high speed.

But as a poster it is still cool.

Ben
