* 		116-1 (Inv) Starter Train Set with Motor
361 Parts, 1967
Sets: Train: 4.5V

* Change 2 Part Red {445 Door 1 x 3 x 4 Left to 445a Door 1 x 3 x 4 Left with Thin Handle}
* Change 2 Part Red {446 Door 1 x 3 x 4 Right to 446a Door 1 x 3 x 4 Right with Thin Handle}

Comments from Submitter:
I am certain the first year door with thick handles were produced was 1973 or later. Even box arts of some sets from 1975 shows thin handles. Have had multiple copies of this set and have photos of tens copies of this set. Checked also photos of those used sets coming with printed bricks "116" (from 1972?) because they are latest productions of this set. They all come with door with thin handle.

I will handle this together with the other request, once I have time.

But I do want to say already that box arts are not considered proof, it's
said often enough.

I can't also do anything with sets you HAVE HAD.
And I can't do much with ONLY copies of used sets, that are this old either.
