Looks just like an LBG Christmas Set

Some slight differences:  the locomotive wasn't regauged to meter-gauge and the passenger cars are a bit longer. Fleischmann made a couple of freight cars to go with it, but I don't think they made another locomotive for it.  I still have a "magic train" but I never did anything with it.  On30 Austrian narrow gauge just isn't that popular in Texas.

Same in Fla, narrow gauge does not cut it. But the wife always likes some type of Christmas train so I have Christmas specific cars for her train.

There are O scalers  in Texas working in On3 and On30. They tend to model American-style narrow gauge.  I haven’t met anyone modeling Austrian narrow gauge in On30, but if they’re out there in North America, they’re keeping a low profile.

I’m not sure I’d be that interested in a revived “Magic Train” line.  Fleischmann only offered the Stainz 0-4-0, which is cute, but it’s a real-life one-off. If I thought enough people were interested, I’d release a model of the Austrian 0-6-2T tank engine.  Those were a lot more common in real life.
