I need help getting my 188 and 138 to work. These are the two "electroin train sets", from 1968 and 1969, they are almost identical. My problem is that I have both sets, but no whistle. I would a) want to buy one (anyone wants to sell one ??), or b) (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Outstanding, Holger. I am a big fan of German trains and your creation looks great. I rarely see any German LEGO trains so it's great to see your creation. I sure wish someone would build an ICE train or a Thalys. Ashley Glennon (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
