Zanka and ETS are Czech brands.

I have a Karl Bub with a "KB - Made in Bavaria" logo. 

Do I assume it's from the 30s-40s?
Thanks so much!

According to a German book "Lexicon Blech Spielzeug" Bing stopped using Made in Bavaria in 1914; I assume that Bub also stopped using this at the same time and changed to Made in Germany. Further I had a look at the very nice pictures of your Bub loco at the EL Layout thread and to me this loco looks like a loco from around 1910.

1910's?? Wow!

I wish I could find more info on this particular steeple cab loco though. It's hard to come by! I've only seen one other auction photo of a "green" one.

Yes sir, the second link has multiple reference links through to that photo album. A great reference collection. Is that your own album? I may have a few additional trademarks you could add there.

Only the video clip is mine, but not the photo album unfortunately.
