It is ultra rare in black because it came as alternate for 116 and 119.
This motor had a very short production and that was in 1967, most likely about
the second half of 1967, and before TLG produced the printed one

We can be sure it came before this motor because I and my friend in Belgium (who
collects 118, 138, 139, 139a) have not seen it at all with 138 or other trains/sets
produced in 1968.
By the way, since 1969 the motor

was also discontinued.

I bought one early-version of 116 from Germany with box and incomplete instructions
in very good condition. All parts are in amazing mint condition and they are
pat pend.
Only one part (black brick, Round 1 x 1) is not original and we can easily assume
it fell and was lost so it was replaced with

I was hoping to get

I don't have much hope to find this motor soon again, even as a spare part
to be sold by a seller on BL. In the last 18 months or so, only one seller in
NL had it for sale in black and I bought that one but he did not know in which
set his copy came with.
So now, I have two black bb0007c01pb01.

Photos to be followed.

Like said above there's is no evidence for what you are saying (short period

Would you please be so kind to add an image with both black bb0007c01pb01 you
have side by side? And let me know from which year you think your set came, based
on the parts that are in it. It didn't have a catalogue. I really want to
know which motor came first, second, third.

Disclaimer:
When it comes to trains in 80s, I can talk in certainly.
When it comes to trains in 70s, I can talk with some confidence.
When it comes to trains in 60s, I can just talk! So I give you all I know and
what I conclude.

  
So far you only asked a seller of the motor in a set 100 was engraved.

I think there was another set coming with blue one in one instance. It was 112
or 113. I have to dig into my emails.
My guess is that it came with both of them.

  This was an incomplete used set, without evidence from which year it was.

Why incomplete? It is complete with original parts. Only one round 1x1 brick
was lost and replaced. The bricks are in amazing conditions.
I am angry with the seller and want to return it to Germany but the condition
of bricks are amazing and I am refrain from that decision.

  So we don't know the year this motor came and we also don't know yet
if it was an alternate.

because it is the earliest variant as shown on the instructions and it came with

As for 119, I found a collectors in Germany who has bought many copies of all
vintage trains from USA, Canada, UK,.... over the last few years and now selling
them on Ebay. He told me one copy of 119 that he bought from UK come wtih

  Would you please be so kind to add an image with both black bb0007c01pb01 you
have side by side?

Sure, soon.

  And let me know from which year you think your set came, based
on the parts that are in it. It didn't have a catalogue.

Based on the parts and what I know about them, I have no idea and I don't
have a guess!
The best course of action is to find more copies of 116 wit early variations
of parts but I don't think we will find this motor again any time soon.

  I really want to
know which motor came first, second, third.

is rare in blue because it came as alternate for those few trains from 1966.
It is ultra rare in black because it came as alternate for 116 and 119.
This motor had a very short production and that was in 1967, most likely about
the second half of 1967, and before TLG produced the printed one

So far you only asked a seller of the motor in a set 100 was engraved.

I think there was another set coming with blue one in one instance. It was 112
or 113. I have to dig into my emails.
My guess is that it came with both of them.

  This was an incomplete used set, without evidence from which year it was.

Why incomplete? It is complete with original parts. Only one round 1x1 brick
was lost and replaced. The bricks are in amazing conditions.
I am angry with the seller and want to return it to Germany but the condition
of bricks are amazing and I am refrain from that decision.

  So we don't know the year this motor came and we also don't know yet
if it was an alternate.

We can be sure it came before this motor because I and my friend in Belgium (who
collects 118, 138, 139, 139a) have not seen it at all with 138 or other trains/sets
produced in 1968.

I'm confused about what you are saying here.

I bought one early-version of 116 from Germany with box and incomplete instructions
in very good condition. All parts are in amazing mint condition and they are
pat pend.

it fell and was lost so it was replaced with

I don't have much hope to find this motor soon again, even as a spare part
to be sold by a seller on BL. In the last 18 months or so, only one seller in
NL had it for sale in black and I bought that one but he did not know in which

So now, I have two black bb0007c01pb01.

Like said above there's is no evidence for what you are saying (short period

119-1 (Inv) Super Train Set
394 Parts, 1968
Sets: Train: 4.5V


My guess for the time-line
1966-78
 
Part No: bb0007c01  Name: Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train)
*

Since 1969

*

So we should find out if
 
Part No: bb0007c01pb01  Name: Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train) with Engraved '4,5 VOLT' Pattern
*

was produced for a short period in 1967 or 1968.

Concerning the parts that come with my 116:
*1*
 
Part No: 737bc01  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 4 with Train Coupler Open with Hook
* 
737bc01 (Inv) Plate, Modified 2 x 4 with Train Coupler Open with Hook
Parts: Plate, Modified
and
 
Part No: 737  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 4 with Train Coupler Closed for Hook
* 
737 Plate, Modified 2 x 4 with Train Coupler Closed for Hook
Parts: Plate, Modified
that were produced between 1966-67.
Maybe they had already produced some boxes so they kept using these Train Coupler
that were left-over in 1968 too.

*2*
The battery box is, as far as we know, from 1968
 
Part No: bb0045c02  Name: Electric 4.5V Battery Box 6 x 11 x 3 Type II for 1-Prong & 2-Prong Connectors

*3*
The red
 
Part No: 3023  Name: Plate 1 x 2
* 
3023 Plate 1 x 2
Parts: Plate {Red}
comes with my copy but all copies of 118 that we have seen so far come with
 
Part No: 3023old  Name: Plate 1 x 2 with Flat Bottom Pin
* 
3023old Plate 1 x 2 with Flat Bottom Pin
Parts: Plate {Red}
What does this say?

*4*
I don't know about time-line of Trans-Clear Bricks 1 x 2 (with or without
inner tube)

*5*
I didn't want to talk about the connectors at this point. But here we go:
All blue and red connectors
 
Part No: 996ac01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996ac01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector
that we had seen have Hollow Pin (with 156-1, 157-2, 118-1, 139A). These connectors
were discontinued in the end of 1968. But my friend Johan in Belgium (wannes.)
bought two boxed copies of 113 form USA (sold since 1968 there) and noticed that
the connectors have Cross-Cut Pin.

* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector
This resolved the puzzle as how

* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)

even exists but was strange too. I noticed that all sets in USA and Canada from
1968-70 came with
 
Part No: 996bc01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector
(so wait for upcoming inventory change requests) and therefore, I assumed that
996bc01 cannot be found in Europe. But my 116 now comes with

* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)

and I bought mine from Germany from a seller on Ebay.

For the last few years, I have asked almost all sellers of 116 and 119 to check
the motor. I was hoping to find the black
 
Part No: bb0007c01  Name: Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train)
* 
bb0007c01 Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train)
Parts: Electric, Motor {Black}
with 116. I only found it once but could not buy the set.

As what should be in the regular section: it is clear for 116
 
Part No: bb0007c01  Name: Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train)
*

because it is the earliest variant as shown on the instructions and it came with
trains from 1966 too.

As for 119, I found a collectors in Germany who has bought many copies of all
vintage trains from USA, Canada, UK,.... over the last few years and now selling
them on Ebay. He told me one copy of 119 that he bought from UK come wtih
[p=bb0007c02,11]
I could not get more information.

Again, I think

* 
bb0007c01 Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train)

should be in the regular section because this is the most common early version.
The other motor is very rare and does not make sense if we put it in the regular
section.
I think it fits as "minor variant"

  Would you please be so kind to add an image with both black bb0007c01pb01 you
have side by side?

Sure, soon.

  And let me know from which year you think your set came, based
on the parts that are in it. It didn't have a catalogue.

Based on the parts and what I know about them, I have no idea and I don't
have a guess!
The best course of action is to find more copies of 116 wit early variations
of parts but I don't think we will find this motor again any time soon.

  I really want to
know which motor came first, second, third.

These requests will stay on hold untill further proof.

Diana

Over 8 months have passed and no additional proof has been added.
I can't approve this request based on this used set alone, especially because
items are from different periods and if that motor indeed is from 1967, it doesn't
match the battery box from 1968. Besides the round brick, either the motor
or the battery box could be replaced also and so could other items, like the
1x2 plates.

About these 1 x 2 plates. You claim set 118-1 from 1968 has red 3023old (I can't
find any proof for that btw) and black 3023 plates, while in this set it's
the other way around, both from Europe. It just doesn't make any sense.

Congrats on your imminent Purple brick!

Won't 'see red' when viewing your profile any longer. Not that I
ever have
