Joined: 02/05/2012(UTC) Posts: 162		Originally Posted by: RayF Originally Posted by: BR01097 Originally Posted by: LMS800 Hi Wolf, As far as I can see from the photo your banana van has BK 5 and at the axis 1 blade only. When this is correct we have a problem : the van is a pre-war van with coupling system from 1950 !! Märklin started with coupling system BK 5 in 1950! Regards Wolf Speaking of Axis, the lithographed lettering "D.R.B." appears on the exterior walls of these pre-war era banana cars. Should we presume this to represent the syllables of "Deutsche Reichsbahn" rather than its two initials, or does that extra "B" stand for another word, as in "D.R.G?" I quote from wikipedia: "The Deutsche Reichsbahn ("German National Railway") – was the name of the German national railway created from the railways of the individual states of the German Empire following the end of World War I. It was founded in 1920 as the Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen when the Weimar Republic (formally Deutsches Reich – "German Empire" – hence the usage of "Reich" in the name of the railway) took national control of the German railways, which had previously been run by the German states. In 1924 it was reorganized under the aegis of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), a nominal private railway company, which was 100% owned by the German state. In 1937 it was reorganized again as a state authority and given the name Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB). After the Anschluss in 1938 the DR also took over the Bundesbahn Österreich (BBÖ, Federal Railway of Austria)." Hi Ray, thanks for tis information. But I must amend: D.R.B. was not an official lettering, official was DR. D.R.B. was used by the model railroad industry (as well as in MRR literature) to distinguih between the different "railroad epoche). Wolf

My now 4 year old son saved money to buy that and he likes it allot. Not only on the Märklin follor layout but on his Brio railway and while playing with cars :) Really nice fun thing for small kids.

I think the story here is that a bunch of Banana benders were hoping to trade their crop, for a few new cars, hence the empty Car Transporter, bet all they got was a few old 1979 Opel Commodores. Pic taken at Mini Euro Convention in Palmerston last year NZMarklinist attached the following image(s):

The photo looked very Marklin. There was no box and the item looked in poor condition. When I got back home, after our meeting I went online to buy it for you but it was sold. Sorry, that's why I never mentioned it again. A dealer I use often has a Liliput van here Or if you prefer a Piko white banana van here BR Glenn UPDATE I found you another one; Follow this link
