G'day Fine Folk of the Tinplateicus Addictimus family 
I was very fortunate ( I think anyway) to snaffle a little bit of Czech History in the form of a 0-4-2 Merkur Freight set ... unfortunately missing the tender but in what looks to be fine operable condition .
I believe this set to be from the period just after the war when Merkur resumed production ( 1947?) and I think they were made for a few years
Any info most welcome

I have the same engine, and always wondered if it was supposed to have a set of pilot wheels, so you've answered that question for me.
For what it's worth, here's a pic of the tender that I got with the engine.
Cool, I am glad you got that set. I was watching and was very tempted to bid on it last night. Is that the same guy that listed the Marklin freight cars? I put a bid on those but lost. I have a couple of Merkur cars and would like to come across an engine, that was a good deal if you got it near the starting price!!
Yep @Dennis Holler
The one and same ... I ended up paying a $10AU Premium on the asking price and I was quite happy with that indeed !! !
Also just scored a prewarO gauge Marklin carriage off him just now as well !
If you dont mind the shipping Aussie probably offers very good deals in stuff on the world market as our $ is crappish ..
I found a good Merkur thread on a German forum ( whipped it into google translate for english , it mostly works lol )
