Hi Steven!
Sorry to tell you, but I have no spare 4551 at hand, otherwise I would have
liked to make a deal 127 against 4551.
Actually 127 and 116 are roughly the same with two main differences: 116 has no
magnetic couplings, but the older type of hook couplings.
And 116 has the very first 4.5 Volt motor (like set 102 but in black), which
has a higher housing (4 bricks) than the one from 127 (like 103), which is as
high than 3 1/3 bricks. The high type motor needs very special wheel types also
Notice that the batterie boxes are a little different too: 116 opens to the
bottom, 127 to the top.
Last (small) difference ist the print of the horn and envelope: but I'm not
able to describe this in a few words... Take a look at yours and the one from
116. If the look identically you have the 116 train set.
Best Regards,
Ben

| Hi Ben, This is a puzzle, I suppose it is possible that I have what is left of two sets. The motor is 3-1/3 brick high, and the battery box opens from the top. The motor and the battery box work great and are in great shap as are most of the pieces (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
