I'm posting a couple of photos to see whether someone might be able to identify who made it etc. Who doesn't like a good mystery to solve?

Cheers I knew the coupler would be one flag, hence why I included a picture of it.... since I have very little Lilliput exposure I had no way to made that determination myself, but knew someone here would. At least I have that mystery solved!

Your are right Stefan! I suppose the previous owner must have swapped the Liliput 2 rail wheels for Mârklin 3-rail. In some cases that works.

Yes, that was me The original wheel sets were quite rusted when I got it, so I did swap them out for some AC wheel sets
