Plastic cash register, plastic houses and hotels, cards from playing board with round corners. Super De Luxe gift par excellence!" It is very likely that this special edition was published because of the 25th anniversary of Monopoly. Features of this game are: Waddington's design, so with the green locomotive running back and the "engine image" in the middle of the playing field. The "locomotive picture" is printed on the red lid. On the short sides of the lid, the rim reads "MONOPOLY".

The two halves of the red game board are made into one whole with a black cloth band. The back of the game board is printed with the "locomotive picture". The edge of the innerbox is black, while the bottom has a black dot pattern. The rent for unbuilt Lange Poten is, just like for the other 2 yellow streets, f 22, -. The box contains a "plastic cash register" consisting of a white plastic insert with 7 holes for the banknotes. The remaining space is divided into 8 compartments by orange dividers. The Chance and Community Chest cards, like the property deeds, have exceptionally large, rounded corners and are not numbered. Tokens are wooden pawns from Mens-Erger-Je-Niet, sometimes 22 mm, sometimes 27 mm high. The houses and hotels are made of white plastic, with the roof of the houses being green and the roof of the hotels red. The 2 dice are made of wood.
