Gerhard,
I've got French versions of some of these items on one of my scan pages at
http://bubba.ucdavis.edu/~gal/hobbies/lego/legocats_pre1970.html

I've got 3250-En, a UK pamphlet titled "This is a Lego Train", The same 3166-Ty
you have, and it's French counterpart 3166-Fr, the warranty card with mail-in
portion in French. You'll also find a rare 1966 Portuguese catalog.
