Comments from Submitter:
building a extremely well preserved set with box and the numbers are as this in my set and confirmed with the instruction



I went through the instructions and as far as I can see the inventory is correct
with 15 pieces of 3003old and 17 pieces of 3001old.

Did you calculate the ones in the last row on the tow truck?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had not noticed that those were
two pieces of 3003old and not one of 3001old. I had already rejected your original
request. Can you please submit this request again?

  Unless there was some change to this model via a supplement instruction sheet,
some of the parts in the inventory don't even belong there:

Panel 1x2x3
Slope inv. 75 2x1x3

I also don't see the black tile 1x4 in the build


I did a quick look through the instructions and you are correct that those parts
don't appear anywhere in the instructions that I found on Brickset. So either
the current inventory is wrong or there are multiple versions of the instructions
for this set.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 7822  Name: Railway Station
* 
7822-1 (Inv) Railway Station
372 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: Train: 4.5V

* Add 4 Part 3242 Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Straight

The source is from a NIB set sold on Ebay in Italy.
I have also seen used lots containing 4.5v sets+7822 and 4 extra conducting rails.

This set is advertised 4.5v in catalogs 1980-2 but TLG included 4 straight conducting
rails too so at the end, it was both working with either 4.5v or 12v layout.

I'm not convinced that this set would originally come with conducting rails.
It seems more likely that this seller would throw those rails in with the set
as a service for buyers who might want to use it with a 12V layout. I don't
remember my own set coming with these rails.

This is the only MISB set I have seen. I contacted the seller and asked him more
photos. He didn't know about Lego much and didn't have other train-related
staff. He was certainly not a Lego dealer, that I am sure.

We would never know if ALL copies contained these extra conducting rails.
The problem is that I cannot trust used lots at all as conducting rails are so
common and people have them. However, I attach a used lot containing only 4.5V
sets sold on Ebay in US where 12v train were not sold. We see 3 straight conducting
rails and there may be one extra (or maybe lost?).

I do have another set of photos of an NIB copy but the quality is bad and we
cannot see much.

I also point two things:
1) how did the seller know he had to add 4 extra conducting rails but they are
included in peeron, bricklink,...? why did he do that? I remember he did not
claim the set was complete. In the advertisement, he mentioned something like
"all bags are sealed. Not sure if complete"
2) The conducting rails have contact holes. These are produced between 1980-87.
But they came in two versions. The first version didn't have plastic reinforcements
below the notches (1980-84) but since 1985 they added extra plastic (to all types,
including straight, curved, cross, points,...). See
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1078534

In the photos we can see two conducting rails don't have reinforcements (the
other two are not visible). This is also why I trusted them.

Ok. Maybe you are right about these. But if we add these I think they should
be added as extra parts and not regular parts. They are not shown anywhere on
the box art or instructions. That would fit the definition of extra parts.
