Ben B. and Larry P. are both timely and correct.
Sybrand Bonsma has an Unofficial Fabuland Homepage.
http://members.tripod.com/%7ESybrand_Bonsma/fabu1eng.html
It is the absolute best place to go to research anything having to do with
Fabuland or suspected of being Fabuland.
You will find a inventory of all known Fabuland elements here- WITH PICTURES!
http://members.tripod.com/~Sybrand_Bonsma/fabuland/pages/inventory/partspic.html
Under each picture, Sybrand lists all the Fabuland sets each element is in.
The part you show in your picture at Brickshelf is listed as
EJ5 6x8x1 square box red: 3680 yellow: 3634[1980 vintage!]
A related part is
EJ4 6x6x1 square box yellow: 3627 white: 3637
blue: 3639 (3643)red: 3641, 3670
Sounds like you got some great "bits"... Fabuland and Train. Enjoy.
regards,
sheree
