I'm pretty sure it's Marklin and it looks very familiar perhaps from the 7051 gantry crane. It's obviously a wedge of some sort to lock the item in a box. Any help would be good. Roger

Joined: 13/03/2012(UTC) Posts: 227 Location: Perth		Here is the final solution where the bits go. I actually had 3 pieces of cardboard in total. The 2 flat bits go under the loco and tender then the mystery bit fits over the driver cab between the loco and tender. Thanks for the help. Roger
