i had these photos in an old salamander shoe box for as long as i can remember. as i understand; it was my father's uncle who lived amongst his trains in an appt in east berlin (before the wall). he was a carpenter by trade and an avid cardboard scratchbuilder. i don't know if these are marklins because i never saw a vintage steamer with a ''tub-tender'' then again my knowledge in this field is limited. hey, check-out the guy's bed under the benchwork! man that's living!!! mike.

it's a narrow lift-out section. he must have access to his underwear, unless he's a commando. mike.
