Dear Steven!
I would bet you have got the 127 set, even if the printed bricks of your set
look like the one from 116. Maybe Lego has used the changed version (which I
know from the set of a friend of mine) somewhat later for the 127. In the first
days of 127 they might have used up their last bricks of 116, who knows?
Anyway enjoy that set! I think you shouldn't give it away, since it is an old
historic set of the early Lego train years.
Even if you don't like them now: check out my site of blue era trains and
discover their strange charme.... (My personal favorite of that era is the 119
prairee train set.)

| 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)
