Large Euro Train Shed, Who Dunnit

I saw one of those years ago at a train show and recall it being gauge 1 or standard gauge. I thinkit was a Marklin.

It looks a bit like Marklin, but I cannot find it in any book or other resource. It also looks a bit like Santhion, a (recent?) make in the Marklin style which I do not know further. Stout Auctions had some of their stuff in a recent sale.

Hello;  looks like a hand made station by the German company of Tucher & Walthers.  I believe the company has closed, but not positive.

Sorry forgot to sign my name.  walter wayne

I was racking my brain because the building style was familiar, and then you hit the nail on the head. I also think it is Tucher & Walters, who made all those Jules Verne style tin toys including live steam airships.

This building could be actually be a T&W model airship hangar, but I'm not certain.

Searching with your clues it appears to Tucher and Walters. I found it both as an aiship hanger and a lokschuppen or engine shed. Airship hanger had no name over the doors

Flags should be on the roof.

basically he says he bought the stuff and paid a lot including the engine shed.

I concur.  It does look better suited as a hangar for any of the Zeppelins, Dirigibles or Blimps offered 100 years ago.

Interesting to note those flags represent the German Empire until its demise after 1918.  I wonder if the missing flags on Steve's example has something to do with anti-German sentiment during either world war?

There is an airship hangar version available on the Ministeam site. All limited edition stuff, therefore non-cheap, but gorgeous.

Looks like Tucher &Walther ran from the late 70s to 2009. They did their original designs, but apparently had many molds and dies from older Nuremberg tin toy companies also.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to go all tinplate all the time.

 Google 'Tucher & Walther tin toys' under Images. It's a treat for tin eyes.

Thanks to all for the help. Doubt I would have figured that one out on my own. Should be to me late next week. It is missing one door, guess that will have to be toward the back.

Found this on line. Tucher & Walther Zeppelin. It should fit inside the building. I have enough stations, so I think I'll use it as a blimp hanger.

Steve

have Steve,

Perhaps they left the sign off the airship hanger because "Zeppelinschuppen" won't fit.

Nice building and airship! You can your own Lakehurst, NJ now.

how the heck do you find this stuff Steve? I like the Zepplin and the hanger is beautiful!

steamer,

    Dave it seems Steve is an artist at coming up with old German Tin Plate, not just

trains but all kinds of buildings/bridges and stuff like the Zep.  His rework and upgrade of all kinds of Tin Plate is just over the Top Fantastic, he restored an 810 Lionel Crane Car that is simply some of the finest restoration work I have ever seen, on any kind Tin Plate.  I keep an eye on the threads he starts to see all the cool stuff he finds and restores all the time, I am very good at this Tin Plate restoration myself, been doing it sense I was a kid, Steve has me beat however, his original color schemes for doing restoration work is impossible to beat, a true Tin Plate Master, no doubt about it.

PCRR/Dave

he is a master that's for sure.

A lot of the unusual stuff just comes by accident, although the Zeppelin I searched for based on Wayne's input above. The Zeppelin and the building are both here, just have not had time to take pictures.
