12V Box variations

Recommended Posts

Found an interesting item today, the railway station 7824 in a box the size of the 7822 station box. I thought they came only in a more narrow sized box. Does anyone know if this is an early or late style packaging?  

Also, the accessories in the 785* range seem to have had a redesign of the boxes at some point, when would this have started, would think very late in the production period up until the end?

There have been a few threads in TrainTech about box variations. I know there were regional variants (and still are to this day) based mostly on language and to a lesser degree on safety regulations or simply who the distributor was (e.g., Samsonite). I believe some of the evergreen 9v stuff like tracks went through a couple of variants of box art, and throughout the years Lego has made different shaped boxes for the same set (not just trains). That said, I do not know anything in particular about 7824 but maybe one of the 12 volters on this forum might.

Both 7824 boxes are in the BL cat

Edit : And so are the 785X boxes

ZezaR probably know when the change happened (Year, month, day and hour - lol!)

Cheers,
