| VEDES stands for "Vereinigung deutscher Spielwarenhändler" - meaning Organisation of German Toy Dealers - founded in 1904 - still existing | |||
| VEDES Toy Store Virnich in Nuremberg - exact date unknown - somewhat end of 50ies / early 60ies - because the offered Trix battery loco was available between 1953 and 1961. | |||

The offered Biller train set does not fit into the scheme of the Biller catalogues and price lists - and couldn't be found there. Possibly wholesalers ordered special train sets. The set here contains 1 x 013 Diesel engine, 2 x 001 Tipper, 1 x 504 Crew wagon, 12 x 009 curved track, 6 straight track, 1 x 011 left switch, 1 x 004 bumper, 1 x 005 shovel and possibly a coal bag as load for the tippers. But the picture is too bad as to identify the item shown top right of the loco. The OBLETTER TOY STORE offers a similar set in 1961. Another Train Set not "Biller listed" is shown further down in the 1971 catalogue. |

Train set which never appeared in Biller catalogues or price lists. Quite interesting that this picture shows a last version box with the old 60ies picture glued onto it. This set was offered for 49,50 DEM - and obviously had different contents. In September 2015 a set containing a 1013 battery diesel showed up. | ||

... battery Diesel loco 1013 and 505 log transporter, next to last version lid 1966 - thru 1970 |
... the stamp says 1639 | in comparison with the "real" set 1639 | |

 |
| This last shown set strongly reminds to be a set 1639 - however the thermoformng sheet is different to pick-up any 50x log or track transporter | |||
