Identifying a 60's Train Set

[RaincloudDustbin]

I have an old 60's I think, train set that I need help identifying. All the information I can give you is that it came in a drawstring bag with LEGO on it and it has some paper in it with the numbers 150 151 152 153 on it referring to each track setup. Also it says LEGO systems on the front. My guess is that it is from 1968. Thanks TT

If I remember correctly 150, 151, 154, 155 are the blue track packs, straight, curved, crossings, and points/switches. The drawstring bag was available separately also. The easiest way to identify if you have a particular train set would be to include a photo of the parts. Many train sets of the 60's and 70's (the blue track era) had unique parts which pretty quickly narrow down which train it is.

I like to use Peeron Instruction Scans to identify old sets. It's far more complete than most other sites. I've linked to the 4.5V trains. You may also have 12V if you've got the metal centre conducting rails.
