Frank,
Thanks for posting this picture. What did the passenger coaches look like?
I'm pretty excited by the loco pictured. I think I have a Marklin model of
this steam engine. All my Marklin stuff is at my parent's home now, but it is
soon to be delivered to me at the begining of June. I will then check if my
Marklin model is indeed of the DB 23 071 variety. It has been a long time
since I've seen it. The wheel arrangement on the engine and the tender looks
to be the same, as well as the aero-deflector fins up front. I guess many
engines have these similar features, but the likeness is very very close, if
not exact.
Thanks for posting the photo!! I bet the ride was glorious :-)
To keep this LEGO related...maybe I'll try to model that steamer...with LEGO
bricks. ;-)
later,
James Mathis
