Special Note on this Set
Colours were initially matt dark blue and dark yellow with matt brass plating on most small parts. Many changes during this sets short lifetime (shown with a ‘*’ in the lists below). Very early sets also had brass plated cheesehead bolts (not shown in the listing below). After a short while the matt dark blue was replaced by a much better gloss dark blue enamel. Then part 48 changed to dull brass plating. Then dull brass parts started to change to an iridescent finish and plastic gears replaced the brass ones. Also part 190a was replaced by the plastic version (part 194b).
