To quote and gush over each post would take up a whole 'nother thread!
I shall drop everyone back to reality with my humble offering today
Currently winging its way into the southern hemisphere from the Nederlands is a charming ( well to me anyway) little boxed set from I presume the late 40's to perhaps the mid 50's ( U.S. Zone was made a point by the seller , but I am not sure about that by the wheels ) and I think going by the mark on the box a Bub set (?)
It was available for quite some time at quite a fair price , but then the seller just had to drop the opening bid to a point where I truly could not ignore it ( I have paid more for far worse ) ... Until I have it in hand I will reserve judgement , but it really doesnt look played with that much ... I suspect it might be a later set tho , due to what appears the hard plastic wheels? Nevertheless its a darn good example of how well kids used to care for toys back then
Nice little train but that trademark is not from BUB but from Beckh, look here https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...55#74777184323368055 and here: https://www.historytoy.com/toy...Trains-Beckh-Gauge-0
