That would probably be set #365, the Grand Daddy of the early large western sets:

I have this set, I love it for the parts.... lots of classic windows and doors.

Oh no, cowboy hats are an ooooold and recently resurrected piece.  I
remember back from the eighties (around '86 probably) when I was kid, I had
an ideabook in which some of the minifigs wore cowboy hats, and the sets
they came with were so old that I hadn't seen any even back then.

Very old. They were used in a western set back in the mid-70s, with the
original armless, faceless minifigs. Indeed, they are some of the oldest known
minifig headpieces that I know of - as old as caps and black pony-tail hair.

If you think that the cowboy hats are ugly and that it was better before
without them, well then look here!

It´s a scan from the 1985 catalog, and what is one of the minifigs • wearing?
If you can´t find him, he´s just about to enter the train door.

BTW, it´s a german train! Cool!

(...) That is a really neat set. I never saw it before... 1975? The year I was born.... I wonder if that had anything to do with it? ;) Scott S. (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town)
