Strartset Inter europe

Small freight train with 1601 Engine 0690 and four freight wagons and a battery controller. The track apparently got lost over the years. Interresting fact is the total absence of the brand name "Lima" on the set box. "Inter Europe" seems to be a name for model railways of a certain department store or mail order company. The french train on the box is an evidence that this set was sold in France. Info's highly appreciated!
