Re: originally from Germany

My wild guess is Ernst Plank Spur 8 65mm, but I'm not a collector. It can also be what Carette and Bing called Spur III 67mm, which Schoenner called Spur IIa. At that time there was no common standards as today. And the guage was measured at the top of the round rails, not between as done today. Yo...

Just to be sure ... Can you measure it in mm? Or take a photo with a ruler?
We would be pleased to hear your opinion and the opinion of your colleagues

Unfortunately, there is no tender. Track (spur) 2

Re: originally from Germany

I only know the Plank VULCAN being driven on the first axle. The similarity in style and design from E.P. "Vulkan" is obvious. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of German colleagues, but I have no contacts among German collectors. P.S. If you or someone from the participants of ...

Re: originally from Germany

The problem I have with this loco is that I cannot find any storkleg live steamers that are driven by the front wheels. This could possibly be an alteration made by a previous owner. Checking through my collection of pictures and notes made over the years, the cab is very much Schoenner looking, as...

Re: originally from Germany

Perhaps our colleagues from Gemania could help us, but apparently there are few of them on this forum. I tried to log in to one of the German forums, but it didn’t work for me The German link seemed to work, but as far as I could make out, it mainly covered the small scales from more recent years. ...

Re: originally from Germany

Do you think that it may have had the original paintwork stripped? Phil.P Of course not. The locomotive is in original paint and in excellent condition for its age.

I’m guessing it’s a Wilesco “Lukas”.
It turned out to draw a little attention to the topic. ;)

Maybe it's Bing, but I'm leaning more towards Georges Carette. Maybe I'm wrong, because I'm based solely on the production style. These are my guesses

originally from Germany

Greetings colleagues! I want to share with you an amazing locomotive from my collection. This example is in excellent working condition, completely original and in its original paint job. Extremely rare, no signs of rust or missing parts, with excellent signs of age and use. I would appreciate help ...
