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. Bricks: 1x1 3 black, 2 red, 4 blue, 1 white 'U', 1 white '2' 1x2 4 blue, 2 yellow, 5 clear, 8 white, 15 black, 11 red [4 clear and 1 red had no pin underneath] 1x6 2 red, 3 white 1x8 2 red, 3 white 2x2 4 clear, 4 black, 11 red, 6 yellow, 8 blue, 14 white 2x3 2 clear, 2 black, 2 yellow, 2 blue, 10 white, 13 red 2x4 1 clear, 9 black, 4 yellow, 10 blue, 87 red [3 are CA], 49 white 2x8 2 red, 2 white 2x10 3 white, 6 red 10x20 2 lt grey, 1 blue, 1 green Bricks[shaped] 1x1 round [no indent] 15 yellow, 11 blue 1x1 round [indent] 3 yellow, 3 blue Macaroni bricks 20 yellow 1x2 with notch underneath 1 white [assumed to be from 122, but included to be safe] Classic windows: [all but 1x6x3 and 1x2x3 door have long sills.] 1x1x1 1 red, 2 white 1x1x2 1 red 1x2x1 1 red 1x2x2 3 red 1x2x3 [door] 3 red 1x3x2 3 red 1x4x2 5 red 1x6x2 3 red 1x6x2 [shutters] 1 red 1x6x3 3 red Plates: 1x2 1 lt grey, 1 blue 2x2 3 lt grey 2x4 1 lt grey, 2 black 2x8 lots white [with train tracks] 4x8 5 white 6x8 2 white Wheels: 2x2 12 4x4 6 Tyres: 2x2 4 lt grey, 7 black 4x4 6 lt grey tracks 2 black Wheel bricks/axle bricks: red base: 8 white clear base: 2 white Sloped bricks: Normal 1x2 1 red 2x2 34 red 2x4 12 blue Corner 2x2 [1 stud on top] 20 blue 2x2 [3 studs on top 9 blue Apex 1x2 7 blue 1x2 [with extension] 2 blue 2x2 5 red 2x2 corner 2 blue 2x4 2 blue Misc: 2 2x2 plates [can't have anything conected underneath] with thin connector 3 milky Sets:[None of the parts for these sets are included in the counts above.] 336, 337, 122 [all had instructions], a stack of train tracks[blue] with 3 ideas sheets, the 1969 catalogue on my site, 331 tip truck [assumed...has grey hinge instaed of red], 213 little house [assumed...built from images in a 60's catalogue on brickshelf] Papers: instructions: 122, 150/151/154/155, 336, 337, info sheet for 4.5V motor [assumed to be from 122] Catalogue: "1969 Range" see: http://members.fortunecity.com/ben_whytcross/catalogues/index.html Benjamin Whytcross BWhytcro@PacificAccess.com.au Ph: (03) 9856 5282 Directory Technology Pty Ltd 1/436 Elgar Road, Box Hill, 3128 Growing older is compulsory..Growing up isn't :-)

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 (...)
