Hi Ben,
From my childhood I recall we owned this set, and we got it together
with 113, from a frieds father who was a kind of marketing-employee at
Lego-Holland.
I'm almost 100% certain Set 114 did NOT have any instructions at all!

I'll check for you during our next visit!
See you,
Klaas
Note:
In May a bunch of members (incl. me) from De Bouwsteen will be visiting
the Lego Factories in Billund. I hope/suspect they have some kind of
'museum' with complete old sets. Maybe it's there, and, if so: I'll
reveal the truth!

| (...) Hi Matt, that is not correct as far as I know. All train always used special train wheels (except from none-track based ones like 323 + 396). But you are right: in the early years (from 1966 - 1971) they used the standard wheel blocks. First (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
