Looking at the photo cover of set 721
<http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0721/> I see that not only the
trainwheels and the trainbase were prototypes, but also the sliding wheel
holders. And the power pickup was not available, either. It is not clear if
there have been used prototype parts or just regular parts, but I can see a
small connection between the sliding wheel holder and the main body.
