Wow.. Adolph Schuhmann was not on my radar! Thank you! Reading that link you sent (translated) was eye opening indeed.

Hello,

Adolf (not Adolph) Schuhmann was a interesting manufacturer. Was sold to the manufacturer Ottmar Beckh because of political reasons in 1938.

Here a few examples of Schuhmann toys.

Arne

they also had their own version of the Borsig

a flying hamburger-type interurban

here is a 4-car passenger set with tunnel with your loco on a red frame.

Great photos! Thanks everyone. Just curious.. are Schuhmann trains rare or fairly common? It's production run seems to have only been between 1907-1938. And I think I know what you're saying by "political reasons" he was "bought over".

They are not common but often misidentified when listed as single pieces or loco and tender pairs. Most are listed by European sellers who also guess at their manufacturer, as is common with many German makes.

Great thread and a great pick up Mr Gaucho

Adolf Schuhmann has been on my radar for a little while as I dont have a single example of his work ... yet ! lol!

Not rare rare , but uncommon I would say as I have been actively looking for one

( and less so within my meagre budget , Short arms and long pockets LMAO !  )

While I'm on the topic of "German Manufacture questions" (ha!) Who made this? (J.O.N?) Johann ______ Nuremberg?

That is a "D" for Distler.

Thanks Jim! The J.D.N was a little hard to read, based on the photo.

If anyone's interested in any of these two sets (Schuhmann or Distler) email me! I'm not collecting either, so I'd gladly point you in the proper direction. Maybe we can swap information on trains that I "do" collect?
