Hi,
It is not unusual to find some of these older sets, especially
partial sets. But to find a working 118 with the whistle, is in
my opinion, the hardest and rarest one to find as well as the 139a
which was the electronic unit only. I wish to find a 139a one day.
For what I can understand, the 118 was produced at a very limited
quantity and was very expensive then, so only "rich" kids had the
privilege to own one of them.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard that they were
sold only in Germany? Can somebody tell me if it's true?
BTW, I tried different kind of whistle, but only the lego one
works. I even tried to whistle in the phone with a friend and he
could hear nothing but a "clik,clik,clik" in his phone.
No whistle sound at all! I'm curious about this frequency.
Somebody can give me explanations, Please?
Best regards to all,
Jean-Marc (my favourites are the 118, the 4551 and the 7740 with both 7815
7819, It makes a nice combination of 5 different wagons)

| (...) Ben, don't you have some even rarer sets? You know, very old ones that not even Lego knew about back in the 1960s? All joking aside, the rarety of a set does not represent it's worth, either as a model or as a desirable set - hence the 4558, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
