These Kibri items were also in a collection that I picked up. I would like to identify them by some sort of catalog number if I can track down just what they are. I believe all are prewar and metal. 2 and possibly 3 items I think are O Gauge. I think the others are HO. The building with crane, information booth, and guard house all appear to be O gauge. The guard house has no markings on the bottom except made in Germany. It is not marked Kibri like the rest of the items.

NICE! :-)
Wait until you see the rest of the items! Some are pretty rough but some are also pretty sweet.

This one is not Kibri, it is Marklin, around 1925. Nice little piece, just need a simple signal that goes on the poleand a little railway worker or guard in the cabin, they where made in composition, a sort of "paper mache" and painted.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the information. I had a feeling that it wasn't Kibri but couldn't quite make out the trademark on the bottom. I'll see if I can find a picture of the complete item to see what might be missing. FYI, this isn't composition. It is all metal.
Keep safe,

Yes LionelFler, only the signalman is composition, I have this accessory but as you missing signal which is easy to find and signalman but in this case survivors are a rare find...
Complete one may be found here, information is not correct about production dates....

Very Best, Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Thank you, that is very helpful. I can imagine that the composite figure didn't hold up well.
The site was great in helping me identify some of the Kibri items also. Although they don't show actual values, down at the bottom there seems to be some records of sales either at an auction or eBay. So far the only two Kibri pieces that I can't identify are the lighted house with the steps marked Hf.3 that appears to be HO and the Information Kiosk that appears to be O or 1 Gauge.
If I can figure out all of the values, it will help me sell them since I don't collect any of these types of items.
HI Arne,
Thank you. This is very helpful. I have bookmarked the site. It's a good think Google automatically translates.
Keep safe,
