Thanks a lot for your input Klaas!
So 114 should have been sold in the Benelux countries as well. It's the same
with 115: that set has never been available in Germany, as far as known.

I got some infos on set 080 a while ago: inside the 080 is a114-like train
and that one has definitely had no instruction, but a black and white one on
the trainbox (which has been seperately within the 080 box).

So as you remember it, there was only the colour picture on the box and you
used that to build it?

But 113 has had instructions, right? The waggons have been a black and white
print on the box bottom inside, the engine has been same as 112, so a 112
instruction was added inside the set 113.

I remember this from my childhood: I was able to empty a set of 3 new
batteries within a day, but with some luck I got fresh ones once in a month.

Front of the box would be great: if there was some more that that, it would be
even better. Maybe there was this black and white picture like on the 080 box
and you forgot? I have problems to imagine TLC sold a set completely without
instruction, but who knows.

Sounds great! I'm really jealous hearing this.... I would love to have that
look into the 'secret' museum.
