I'm sorry I can't help you, Nikky, but I will say that I think your gift
has FOTW written all over it!

Hi, I don't know much about trains, so I hope someone can help me.

On Mother's Day, *I* got a gift from the parents -- a box of lego they
picked up at yard sale for $2.  It looks like very old trains (per
Pause: perhaps part of set 113?).  Let me list a few of the more
recognizable pieces:

lots of single blue tracks, 4 blue line switching segments
1 blue 4.5V engine block piece
1 black 4.5V engine block piece
3 white 1x6 bricks labelled "POST" in red
4 blue 1x6 bricks with city names in white:
        1 - Genova
        1 - Hamburg
        2 - Basel
4 white car bodies

if you can name the set, do you have an idea where i could look for
instructions/piece count?

I have no idea what i'm looking at here, but the set(s) look neat
nonetheless.  (The box also contained a bunch of more common pieces,
including my childhood favorite, 1x4x2 lattice fences :) )

Thanks in advance for your help,
Nikky
