(...) Certainly an interesting question. Of course it's possible the box cover is wrong for 2_7. It's also possible there's a difference in how to count compund pieces (like wheels), though I'm not sure this set has many wheels. It's also possible (...)

(...) Set #720 was the first 12V set in 1969, years before the grey era starts (1980). So there are also 12V blue rails trainsets.

(...) Nope, for example set 725 is a blue rails 12V set and set 7722 is a grey rails 4.5V set. I guess the guide uses 'did the set ship with conducting pieces' as basic rule if a set is a 12V or a 4.5V set. By that rule all push-train sets (7710 for (...)
