G'day, Can anyone help me work out which set(s) I've got? [reply here, or by email, preferably including the set number/name and if possible an inventory for it.] All the following parts are from a collection I purchased earlier in the year. I know that the sets were bought around the 60's, and maybe 70's [doubtful] and I would like to seperate the pieces into their original sets if possible. I'm currently guessing that there's a 214, 224, and possibly 400, 401, 700E [all set numbers from the 1965 UK catalogue on brickshelf] but I would like to know if there's any sets other than supplementary packs [I found a fragment of a set of instructions/catalogue that shows a white house with a red roof built on what appears to be a grey 10x20 brick, and thought that might help, too.]. I realise that there's almost certainly parts missing, but if anyone can help me sort these parts out, it would be appreciated. [It's either sets from the UK/Aus, based on the catalogue.] Thanks for any help that can be given.

Benjamin, When there are very few specialty parts (like in the 60's and early 70's), it becomes very difficult to determine what sets you have. The one thing that strikes me is the 20 macaroni bricks. They are from the parts pack (#224) or possibly (...)
