Thanks for the very helpful info and especially the links. I found
several of the other models from my garage sale find including 2
steerable trucks and the steerable farm tractor and trailer on those
pages too.
It turns out that the set I have is 127 (magnetic couplers and
single-piece electrical connector) not 116 as I had previously
thought. It was also good to see my original Lego train
(122/123/124/125) which I demo'd at the Toronto Lego club's
(rtlToronto) 2nd train show in August - first time in 20 years I've
run it.
Anyway, this is getting me all revved up about trains again....
