Hello Tinplate fans...NWL that was a fascinating story on your caboose and what made that particular one unique.  You can smile at the fact that upon reading your post I immediately ran upstairs to the train room to check my 3211...alas its the common one . 

Since both Daniel and Robert led off this weekend with Bing my contribution is a recently acquired Bing (I think) freight car.  Not nearly as old or exciting as live steam but interesting, i think nonetheless.  This is a 4 wheel, tab /slot coupler tank car, lettered for the "Peerless Tank Lines".  What I think is interesting is that all the lettering is clearly in English and refers to American or perhaps UK hardware ...like "Westinghouse air brakes"  and the use of the word "Gasoline" vice "Petrol" .  The lettering also states "M.C.B. pocket coupler" which I am afraid I do not know the meaning of but it must have been considered important, clearly that is prototype information as the toy coupler is a simple tab/slot.

I know nearly nothing about the history of the car so Daniel, Robert, Arne, Fatman, others please help if you recognize this one. 

Here is the side view, 2 domes and grey / white livery.  All words appear in English with some that seem more American in usage like Gasoline for Petrol.  The trademark and "made in Bavaria" in black lettering (very hard to see in pictures) is lithographed in the lower center of the tank, under the "1000" and just above the tank support. 

Here is the end view, except for the letters P.T.L and 1000 no markings.

Here is the embossed trade mark.  Note the "Bavaria" lettering.  The B over W mark also appears in lithography on the tank.  I cannot make out the words above the "B".

Fellows I would appreciate any data anyone has , no matter how trivial.  Except for the seller maintaining that this is Bing and the "B" in the trademark plus the "made in Bavaria"  wording I have no idea where or when this fellow came to be made and how he ended up in the US!  However being a "tank-a-holic" it was a must have!!

Have a happy and healthy weekend everyone
