Hi Schredder,

as one could have guessed easily, these bricks are from set 116 which came in
at least two versions:

- first like this one:
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~rbeneke/lego/trains/blue_era.html#116

A second has had spoked wheels, motor and batterie box in set-103-style and as
a special highlight this later version has had goldprinted bricks with the
number 116 on them.

Maybe there has been a third version without goldprintings and possibly with
magnet couplings like the later 127 set has had.

Kind Regards,

Ben



BTW: if you want tro get rid of these bricks: I'm sure we might get a deal

Hello, I found two bricks 1x8 in black with a golden "116" imprinted on each of it. I would like to know, to which set this belongs. From its style I would guess its age in the early 70ies. Can anyone please help me? Thanks, Schredder (25 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)
