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...

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 ...
