Catalogue information

This could also be a special edition for the 20th anniversary, which is why the edition of this game is dated in 1955. Later (in ± 1960) N.V. Schippers Int. another deluxe, red edition. This could be a confirmation of the suspicion that these red boxes were used for special editions. Features of this game are: The "locomotive picture" is stuck on the lid.
