A couple of finds this week ... a rake of Distler from the early 50's ... this set was paired usually with their rather unusual A/C 3-phase motor locomotives , most noteably their gorgeous Krokodile ( which I dont have .... yet lol )I would like to add Distler 3-phase to the collection but having to have a dedicated track just for them makes little sense at the moment what with currently Gauge1,O,OO and 28mm in two and 2 rail there just has to be a moment went you say .. whoaaaaa lol

And also a couple of cute tippers ... one is def a Keim and the other is also German but I havent searched hard enough today to put a name to it ...
And kinda sorta tinplate related I put in a stoopid low bid for an Australian version of Mecanno .. Buz Builder ...
And it came to me for $2 .. but the kicker is it actually has a fairly rare Australian build DC motor packaged with it ...
