Out of a private workshop in Berlin |
|
|
|
The cars shown here can be
traced back to Berlin in the 1980s. It looks as if these items originated
from Horst Schilsky's workshop. Unfortunately, I don't have any further
information about Mr. Schilsky — it was before my "Biller days." In addition, I received a total of four converted turnouts at the beginning of 2025. The "heart" is a Märklin turnout, and the incoming and outgoing tracks are half Biller tracks. |

This train set was offered in Duisburg-Rheinhausen on a flea-market. The seller asked 200.- € for it - sold it for 180.- €. However just some days later a German Auctioneer offered (most probably) this set on the Internet - and it was sold again - for 154,38 €uro. The set contains an original 013 loco, a self-made crew-coach (most probably a BUB superstructure) and two 4-axle-chassis with Maerklin side walls carrying "war material". |
