To my knowledge there were 4 different sets offered by Schuco. Surprisingly, none of the sets came with a transformer, though some of the Christmas catalog sets offered a transformer outside of the boxed set. Below is the listing of the four sets. If you would like to see pictures of the sets and the contents in them, click on the set titles.

6333 Gift Set     I've seen several of these sets with the "G" marked on the lid, so this set may be confused with the 6333/G set listed below. However, in the instruction booklet this set is definitely referred to as the gift set. The set included enough track to make a big square or a big oval depending how you used the straight track. It also included enough pylons to add a little bit of a grade to the track. The three car monorail came in red or blue. The monorail in this set did NOT come with weights or the tail fins on the rear car. The wheel mechanism was the tin capped style. This train was the lightest of all the Schuco monorails made, and thus was probably the biggest victim of the "try to run, then put away" sets. All of the parts were stored in a thin, yellow plastic insert which usually cracked. I believe this set sold for around $39.95 which was a pretty hefty price for a toy in the early 60's. Also keep in mind it cost around $1.00 to get into Disneyland at the time, so for a child to receive a $40 monorail set on top of a day at Disneyland was truly fortunate!

6333/G Set     I sometimes refer to this as the "Circle Set" and the set listed above as the "Oval Set." Schuco had made quite a few changes to this set. The three car monorail now had weights in the front. Some of the trains still had the tin capped wheels, but later were improved to the black capped wheels, and finally later to the white. The chassis also improved with the final one constructed with a lot of lead and thus was the heaviest. A new color was also added, silver. Why Schuco chose silver I do not know. The logical choice would have been yellow since Disneyland had a red, blue, and yellow monorail. I did hear that the Disneyland monorail prototype model was painted silver, and maybe this is where Schuco came up with idea. Please email me if you have any other information on this: frankm@netreach.net. The last final change on the monorail itself was the addition of the rear tail fins. The story is that Walt Disney requested Schuco to add these to their models so that they would more resemble the real monorails at Disneyland. I believe this set also listed for $39.95. Schuco tried to cut down costs by including less track and less pylons. All of the parts were stored in a styrofoam insert, some which were of a yellowish tint, and some which were white. Later, the box lid lost its beautiful graphic to a much more simpler look.

The H set     This was the set made specifically for the American market. I am not sure why it is called the "H set." I can guess that it is simply the next letter in the alphabet after the G set, so someone just decided to refer to it as such. There are no markings on the box to indicate it as an H set. This set was the one listed in a few Christmas catalogs (if you know which year, please email me: frankm@netreach.net). It sold for $47.88 and did include a tranformer, but it must have come in a separate box as there is no space for it in the set itself. The set included a three car monorail but I am not sure of the color selection. The monorail did have the weights and the rear tail fins, and since my mint set contains a blue monorail, I can verify that blue was one of the choices of color. I would guess that both red and silver were available. There was enough track to make a figure eight, plus one left hand switch to make a side spur. Also included was a special end bumper (6333/8), a block signal (6333/27), and a controller (6333/41). As far as I know, this was the only set which sometimes included an English version of the color manual and is considered quite rare. It seems strange that this set made for the American market is one of the hardest to find, but it is! All of the pieces were stored in a yellow plastic insert which, again, was susceptible to cracking.

The S set     It is the biggest set that Schuco offered with over 200 pieces. Like the H set, it had enough track to make a figure eight, but also included a pair of switches and a pair of block signals. Instead of a dead end track, one could make a complete or continuous side track. The greatest addition to this set was a four car monorail! It came in red, blue, or silver. I have seen all three types of wheel configurations in the S sets. All of the monorails had weights and the tail fins. Everything was stored in a thin, yellow plastic insert. Even though Schuco added cardboard supports underneath the plastic, it still cracked. The cost of this set was a whopping $89.95!!! I am told that the set was only made for one year and never sold well because of its high price.

6333/99 Accessory Pack     It is not really a set with a monorail, etc., but it is a nice set of different accessories such as track, pylons, etc. It included everything to make a basic G set (circle set) layout into a S set layout except for the switches. These are really tough to find with the box and clear plastic insert and quite expensive when you do find one.
