Hello train collectors + experts!
I have not too much knowledge about the boxes of the cars in the 80ies. I am
only familiar with the sets 7813 (no flip) and 7819 (flip).
But another question came up at r.t.l these days:
What about the box design of 116? I always try to store auction pictures from
ebay when they are concerning classic trains and their boxes.
For 116 I have 5 different pictures with the box bottom only (4x ebay, 1x my own
box).
But then there are these pictures as well:

http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1968/c68be/c68be-10.html
Has 116 come without lid on the box? Is there any similar design on any other
box of those days?
113, 118, 119, 120, 138, 171, 183, 720, 722, 725,etc... All these came
definitely with a box design which had a lid. Any input is highly welcome!
Leg Godt!
