Markus has kindly identified the top wagon for me as being 320 S

The Gambrinus beer wagon and the Jamaica wagon are marked 324.

Koll's tells me that Gambrinus is 325 and Jamaica is 326 but they are still marked 324, presumably the same casting.

My translation skills are very poor, I know they are not v.3 or v.4 because they do not have brake shoes (bremsbacken).

The difference between v.1 and v.2 seems to be down to the presence of a brake spindle(?) and the couplings 4.2 or 5. Where is the brake spindle?

Am I right in assuming that these are v.2? I'm a bit confused...

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the info, most interesting. My wagons must be v.2 or v.3.

As an aside...do people actually pay those prices?!

Well...if they want to that's fine by me. Looks like I might have the beginnings of my 3015 acquisition fund here, even though their condition couldn't be called 'mint' even by the standards of some Ebay hopefuls!

I reckoned that the one in the auction was 326.3 ,mine 326.2. My 1991 Kolls gives all three the same value of 200 dms. I would divide this by four and come up with £50 (in 1991). I suspect the Pound is going down so not that much different to a Euro.

Bearing in mind the book is over 25 years old and my examples are battered I guessed £30 each maybe, perhaps a little more.

Fear not, I won't get too excited it is a long way to a 3015!
