Hi Peter,
that topic has been discussed several times before in 1000steine.de and
lugnet.train, so check out for e.g. this old posting:
http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=2635
It seems that TLC has been short with black pins in middle of the 90ies. In
those days they brought out the 7745/7735/7819 and all of them appeared partly
with these colour mix. At least these three sets do have these black wheels
with red pin, maybe even some more sets from that time?
In my eyes that does look quite ugly and I do not know anybody who really likes
these special wheel sets.... they might be somewhat rare (but are far from
being really rare), and they are not very requested as it seems. So their worth
is really limited. Do not expect too much by auctioning them......
Regards,
Ben
