The instructions for 6761, along with a picture on the 6761 box back, show the
part with four small lengthwise indents (or cutouts) under the serated ridge,

Today, I was looking at a 6761 with the thought of parting a few out. That set contains two parts that I would describe as a 1 x 16 tile with a raised serated edge lengthwise on the top. Examination of the bottom shows a p/n of 3228. Partsref tells (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
