Max's Model Railway Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hello, I'm about to give up looking for this train set, its a very well built HO Toy item however I've seen one on ebay and it intrigued me, I'm about to give up looking because I don't know the name or what it looked like, the controller was red, Contained four D size batteries, I assume they had a very limited run in East Germany and I assume some were sold in the states, (Where I'm, from) the Set had two freight wagons, not sure about a breakvan, I do not remember the wheels on the tender if it was a 3 axle or four axle bogie variant, I'd love to buy two of these for myself, that would be saved for another section of RM web, my only concern now is trying to find a photo of one, the loco was a 2-8-0.... the set had I assume something shunting and had a very colorful 0-3-0 diesel clearly DB if I got that right, here is one of Nomura's other products, Nomura Western Train Set (Example) if I cannot find it I can build one using a Revell HO Locomotive and use some Dapol wheel sets and a cleaver pickup solution in the tender Any info on the set would be appreciated! (That's what I'm mainly looking for) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max's Model Railway Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Not quite, I had one of those before, They're nice but its not quite what I'm looking for, Thanks though... Think of a DRG 56 with Elephant style smoke deflectors...

Max's Model Railway Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 That would make sense, I assume then it would be an American Toy Train release, only sold in the United States and Canada since many were fond of the German Marklin at that time, but couldn't afford it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
