Greetings to All
« on: June 15, 2008, 19:28:11 »
I am the Walt in Walt’s Playmobil trains.
First many thanks for the kind things that have been said about me.
I will post details of how I became involved with Playmobil trains in the section Walt’s trains. I now have all but one of all the trains and stock that Playmobil have made.
If I can be of help to anyone please contact me.

Hi Walt, nice to see you here.  We (my wife and I) met you at Lythm-St-Anne's late last year and talked about the burning house.  As we're trying to move house, the burning house is still in its box, so I haven't had the chance to try my hand at wiring things up, but thanks again for all the help you provided in terms of advice and diagrams and sources.

The Loco I have not got was made for Germany in the 1990s.
It is based on the Western Loco. The box had the same number on as the Western 4054 and in the box was the Western smoke stack and cowcatcher.

Walt, are you absolutely positive that this loco isn't a custom? I wonder how many other members here also know about this loco?

If it really was something that was produced by Geobra, then it is probably even more of a rarity than the Japanese roller coaster (3980A).

Thanks for the photo.

All the best,
Richard

I am sure that this loco was made by Playmobil for one of the big stores in Germany to be sold by them only. A friend of mine purchased one about three years ago in Germany from a store that was closing. I have seen it and of course could alter a Western to look like it but the markings on the loco and tender would be difficult to change. The Loco is marked AMPFLWANG and the tender K.BAY.STS.B.
Is this any help to identify the store?
