  The lid of the E-3 appears to be the same as of the set shown before - but is not!!! It is a slightly different scene - minor layout changes.

 

Train Set of the early / mid 60ies - this lid interior from before 1966 - no 1013 (E) described. Most probably this version also exists with a lid interior showing the Battery Diesel after being issued in 1966. This picture was as well used 1971 - at VEDES
