Sorry if it has been shown before but I havn't found it anywhere; http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pi...rosti/francocrosti.htm#bThere was discussion elsewhere about Marklin making a Garrett Bayer but the consensus was no European or US market. I'm sure there would be plenty of people in Europe that would love to get their hands on one of these monsters. Sorry not the best pic. Shamu attached the following image(s): |
Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under . |

In 2001, the "Pig Tram" was withdrawn from service and then passed on to the Baselland Transport AG (BLT), where it was retired in 2012. In 2013, it found a home - no joke - in the German "Pig Museum" in Stuttgart (www.schweinemuseum.de). Alsterstreek attached the following image(s): |
