Serious junk.. 19 inch long  1928 Bing No1 gauge Pullmans.  Two of them, one missing it's top.  I think the numbers are 10/529 or 10/530...  Do I have any other 1 gauge stuff??? ..... No.... not yet....

 

Not sure how tough these cars are to find, but I've only seen them in auction pictures and such.  I will restore these.

Hi Dennis.

Based on this catalog page and my rusty German, what you have is the 10/538/1 - the Speisewagen (trip or tour coach).  The 10/539/X is the Schlaffwagen (Sleeping coach).  Based on your length of 19" I assign the /1 designation because the /0 is 13.75" long.  I converted the metric descriptions in the catalog.

Nice find.  Have fun cleaning them up and restoring them.  I'm betting with your skills you can cut/stamp/replicate your own roof based on a template from the one you have.

Good luck with that locomotive <smile>.
