| Hi,
I bought this one incomplete:
I found 4 black pcs of each of these in that set:
These aren't in the BL inventory and they're also not in the inventory
on Rebrickable, Peeron, ..
BUT! If you look at the box, they are used in one of the alternate models.
That model isn't on the instructions though.
http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/164-1?showpic=6308
Inventory on BL and Peeron both show "instructions" as source of the inventory
list.
Could it be that they originally were included with the set, even though they
weren't actually used in the instructions?
If yes, can these be added as extras in the inventory, or should that only be
done if someone opens a sealed set?

For sets in this time period, if you see parts used on a box model, they were
most likely included in each set. Look at the underside of the parts to make
sure they are period correct, and if so, I would add them.

They look correct to me.

I am surprised that none of our resident train experts that have weighed in on
almost everything else train related have never weighed in on this.

Hi Randyf,
I believe you mean in particular me.
Consider the following facts:
- I know certain things but I am not an expert on trains before 1979.
- The inventory of these sets are complicated. As of today, I don't know
for sure all the variations of 4.5v motors.
- there are not many evidence. If you are going to accept my words with some
semi-evidence, I can submit many inventory change requests. Indeed I have few
pending change requests since few months ago
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?viewType=E&viewYear=&viewMonth=&viewGeDate=&itemNo=&q=&chgUsername=SezaR&viewStatus=0&itemType=
In particular, the one for 165 is so surprising. I hope I get some time soon
to finish my story I started to post.
122 inventory change requests in pending status is a record on its own 
I have some more changes to submit.
- I have not bought this set or many other trains from 70s. I don't have
room to keep them. Without the sets in hand, it is harder and more time-consuming
to study them.

Many of your requests concern part variants, which are a contentious issue that
BrickLink does not handle well at all. We hope to have a programming change
that will allow us to more effectively handle variants in set inventories, but
until then (if there ever is a then) I don't think any of us are too eager
to shuffle variants endlessly in and out of inventories.

Hi Randyf,

Actually, I didn't have anyone particular in mind, Reza.
There are many train experts that have lingered here over the years and still
do, and I had never heard this set mentioned by anyone. I was generally surprised
that I had not.
