Another-“ Help ID...” this loco(BUB?) And Tender (MML England)

StevefromPAOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I recently purchased this tin 0-4-0 loco w/ tender on eBay- it was sold as “Bub NOT Bing”.

My questions are:

Who produced the loco and tender?

Year of production for the loco?

alterations to the loco?

Picture of both the loco and tender:

Comparing the gears, brush plate, and style of the loco certainly appears to look like it’s a Bub 3 rail electric- with a modification that added a 3rd rail pick-up roller. Pics below:

Side with gears, looks like Bub 3 rail electrics I’ve examined. Dome on top is silver

Side with brush plate cover. Looks identical to other Bub 3 rail electrics.that spent too long in the sun- as evident by the faded detailing.

2 pictures of the underside- the gears are similar to Marx “fat wheels”. And there’s the pick-up roller that looks like it’s been added.

headlight(not sure if it was added) and pattern on front of loco

rear

Tender:

Appears to have been “dipped”- all black, very round wheels and thick axles. Bub type couplers

The biggest enigma- this logo:

Top has the letters “ML” followed by a superscript “D”

Below is another L, with England underneath

Help is very MUCH appreciated!!

sincerely,

steve
