I do not have any info on this item, but I wonder whether it is a Kibri item. Kibri items normally have the Kibri name stamped somewhere (e.g. at the back or the bottom of an item). I have never seen a paper Kibri trademark like this; it looks like a cut-out of a box of a postwar Kibri item. At the Kibri archive (http://www.fleischmann-toys.de.../Bruecken/index.html) I do not see a bridge like this.

It's an amazing item. Clearly not Lionel. It's handpainted for sure, which I would say would be pre-war. You may be right about the Kibri logo, but we should check the rest of the item. If it is custom, it is terrific!
