I picked up this great little trolley last weekend at a swap meet. It is made for 3 rail oo gauge track. It runs very well on dc power. It has a key cutout on one side.
Anyone know who made it and when? What track would work with it since it has that large drive gear on the wheel?
What is the best way to clean the wheels? They have built up corrosion on them.
I don't see any Mark's on the trolley, just "Germany" on the bottom.

Still looking for info. I really would like to know the history of this piece.
You might have better luck finding an answer on Chris Lonero's thread on this site titled "Tinplate Photos & Videos". Pretty acknowledgeable bunch hangs out there should be able to provide an answer.
It looks similar to a Bing trolley on ebay.
I looked on the bay and never found anything yet. It has no makers marks on it. Plus I realized it is more like s gauge axle width.
I'll check out Chtis"s thread.
I have been struggling a bit with this one ... the motor "looks" to be early Bing , and to my eye the trolley itself looks to be from the Issmayer/Bub type stable ? It also appears to have been originally clockwork as the chassis has a cutout circle for the key on one side ... This is spitballing by me at its finest as Trolleys are not my field at all ... I think we need to get @Arne on the case ?
Any Ideas Mr H ?
The body was made for clockwork, but the trolley floor was definitely made to hold the motor. None of the tabs have been disturbed.
