  Bonus question: did you noticed the error in the scanned manual? It is exactly
in the page you posted at step 7.
Solution: One dot in the picture is yellow, although it should be red. Check
the new item in step 6 and how it looks like in step 7.

Hi,
are you referring to the dot circled in blue in the picture above?
Telling the truth I've never noticed that mistake since you mentioned it!
Thanks for sharing it!
Best regards,

12VTrains

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 7855  Name: 8 Curved Electric Rails Gray 12v
* 
7855-1 (Inv) 8 Curved Electric Rails Gray 12v
8 Parts, 1980
Sets: Train: Supplemental: 12V

* Add 8 Part 3241b Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved without Cable Connection Holes (match ID 1)
* Change 8 Part Light Gray 3241 Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved {Regular to Alternate} {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
The pictures on the front and back of the box clearly show the 3241b Conducting Rail Curved without Cable Connection Holes.
From 1980 to 1983 the pictures both on the Lego Catalogue and the Train Catalogue show the 3241b Conducting Rail Curved without Cable Connection Holes too, so it should be included in the first production runs of the set.
Since 1984 the pictures on the Lego Catalogue show the 3241 Conducting Rail Curved with Cable Connection Holes.

Hi,

I controlled in my set and I found 12 x "3622 yellow brick 1 x 3"; the inventory
on one side of the box also shows 12 x "3622 yellow brick 1 x 3".
I took a look at the manual to build the last model. It's true, apparently
you need 13 pcs but only one of those is not so clear to recognize, the one shown
on image number 6 (circled in blue, see the picture above): maybe it is not a
3622 yellow brick but they are 1 x "3004 yellow brick 1 x 2" + 1 x "3005 yellow
brick 1 x 1". In fact in the set there are "3004 yellow brick 1 x 2" and "3005
yellow brick 1 x 1" enough to do it.
This is the only explanation I can found…
Regards,

12VTrains

Just an update on these requests. We're a little behind at the moment while
dealing with some larger issues...

Hi Russell,
don't worry no problem!

  
  Comments from Submitter:
1) Motor bb12va (first era) appears in the early production run, while motor bb12vb (second era) appears in the late production run.

Is there a reason why the variant motors have not been added to inventories?
[p=bb12va]
[p=bb12vb]
[p=bb12vc]

Sincerely I don't know why the variant motors haven't been added to the
1980s 12V trains inventories yet, but I think that if we do this action several
changes have to be done, i.e. to upload them with the idea that:
1) motor bb12va appears in sets from 1980 to 1982
2) motor bb12vb appears in sets from 1983 to 1989
3) motor bb12va appears in some production runs (of 7745, 7735 and 7865) at the
end of the 80s (+-1989) and in a Service pack until 1993.
I am quite sure about 1) and 2) but I cannot confirm 3).

  Does this have something to do with the compatiblity of "middle prong" electrical
components? The only one listed in an inventory is listed singly in a parts pack.

I think that the only problem of compatibility is to connect motor bb12va to
the 2-prong connectors: you can't do it!

Morris: I agree and confirm this. You have to use the cables with connector 765c01
and the cables with connector 766c01.

OR: Use the RARE, early '80s bb81c01 connectors!!!

Thanks Laurenz for your adds and agreement!

  
  
  
  2) 3839a (released until 1983) appears in the early production run, while 3839b appears in the late production run.
3) 3040a (released until 1981) appears in the early production run, while 3040 appears in the late production run.
4) 08010ac01 (year released 1980-1981) appears in the early production run, while 08010bc01 appears in the late production run.

For these other three, is it just coincidence that the production years you have
given match the BrickLink years exactly? Just a warning about BL dates in the
catalog - they are usually correct, but at times they may be very wrong. As a
general rule, we should add variants only based on original sources.

I gave the production years found on BL; thanks for your notice, I will be careful!

  Regarding the 12V light brick,
 
Part No: 08010ac01  Name: Electric, Light Brick 12V 2 x 2 with 2 Plug Holes, Trans-Clear Smooth Lens
* 
08010ac01 Electric, Light Brick 12V 2 x 2 with 2 Plug Holes, Trans-Clear Smooth Lens
Parts: Electric, Light & Sound
...it is clear that this part was engineered for the 1980's trains, so obviously
the first variant was in this set. But regarding the other parts:

- Morris: The first sets that were released (1980 - 1982) were with lightbrick
08010ac01 and connectors: 765c01. Later, the lightbrick got replaced with 08010bc01
because Lego experienced that they were broken to fast. The 08010bc01 is a whole
other system!!

I can't wait to see your next comparison about those light brick on YT!!!
Greetings

M_o_r_r_i_s

  
  
  
 
Part No: 3839a  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handles - Round Ends, Mid Attachment
* 
3839a Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handles - Round Ends, Mid Attachment
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 3040a  Name: Slope 45 2 x 1 without Bottom Tube
* 
3040a Slope 45 2 x 1 without Bottom Tube
Parts: Slope
...you are likely correct, but the issue will need some study.

As far as 3839a and 3040a are concerned I agree with you, the issue need more
study, but I think that it is in accordance with what happens about the same
bricks for the set 722-1 and 733-1 (both producted in the same period).

  
Now regarding whether a part should be an alternate or regular, officially the
part in the Regular Items section is supposed to be the most common. But in the
absence of any hard data as to which is more common, there are two other commonly
accepted approaches:

1) the early variant is always "Regular", the later variant is "Alternate".

2) an artificial timeline is used to determine the official release year of the
new variant, and from that year on, the older part is added as the "Alternate".
In the years leading up, the rule would be as in 1) above.

Russell

I did my change request referring to the approach 1) above.

Black and red bricks 2 x 4 no. 3001 (with a central stud cross support) are included in my 7740 that I have owned since 1984 (so a late version), but in the first production runs the black and red bricks 2 x 4 were without cross supports (no. 3001old).

I would like to add that electric train motor 12V modern type III with 3 slotted
contact holes no. bb12vc cannot be found in set 7740 because it started to appear
in the late 80s.

Hi,

thanks for your help!
You are refering to the Service Pack 5063, but it came out in 1987, as the 1987
Service Pack Catalogue confirms.
Regards,

Hi Russel,

thank you for your contribution!
1) According to the catalogues of those years 7730 was produced between 1980
and 1982, 7725 was produced between 1981 and 1984, 7727 was produced between
1983 and 1984. I think everyone can confirm it.
2) I cannot confirm that and I would also like to hear other's opinion...
but in another post here:

http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=870871

they discuss about the same part 2731a. I'm going to ask them to chime in.
I hope I was of help,

Morris

I've got a question for you as far as the 7740 is concerned: in your opinion
was the "3241c Conducting Rail Curved interference-free" an alternate part or
an extra part? In the 7740 that I own from my childhood there are 16 "3241 Conducting
Rail Curved" + 1 "3241c Conducting Rail Curved interference-free", so I'm
tempted to consider the last one as an extra part to be included in mid-late
production of the set...

Hi elias3!
I think you are right, in my opinion also the other inventories have to be changed,
but I don't own those sets, so I would like someone else to confirm this
change.

Yes! As soon as I can I will upload an image! At the moment I've got only
this one: if you enlarge it you will see the number 191986.
