The problem is you can't poof that anything doesn't exist, but it is extremely

(BTW: do white motor baseplates exist? Do 12-spoked classic trainwheels exist?
Both are shown in several idea books and building instructions although I doubt

I only know of set 313 von 1971. Since the small sills have been invented 1972
it came with the larger ones.
