Dear Clark,
now things become funny to me. You check my homepage for reference while I am
causing a mess from wrong memories... ;-)
I am sorry but I cannot check the 131 any longer: I gave up being an collector
of LEGO trains 4 weeks after I got the last missing piece into my collection (as
told often enough, I paid roundabout 100 bucks for the whistle of set 138).
Ironically I started with breaking down the collection right with that very set.
But 131 and lots of other were away a short time later. Since this 131 came from
a train collector into my hands (and it never has been broken down ever by the
first owner), you can be sure: for the shown model everything is originally from
a sealed 131 box. I have no sticker sheet, sorry.
But I have checked now my set 119 (98% sure this is containing nothing but
bricks from 119). This has very similar waggons and mine contained 4 times doors
with knob on left hand side (part 33).
For another set I remember (who will believe me now?) it contained three left
and three right doors: train station 342. I am very sure to remember this right,
because this has been the first building ever for which I had recognized the
difference in the door design.
And by the way: thank you for bringing this topic to my attention! While
checking my old 119 box I found two sealed 10020 boxes, which I had bought long
time ago and hidden under the 119 to avoid discussions with my wife. I had
forgotten about these sets as well. I'm getting really old, man....
