1954 VW-Porsche Escher Kleinbahn Prototyp

vw / porsche engine A 1954 VW-Porsche Escher Kleinbahn Prototyp Prototyp in the in Hamburg. These Were Little trains built from 1954 to 1971 and were used in parks and botanical gardens. It pulled three cars which had space for 90 passengers. Its not a accident that the design of the locomotive looks like a cross between the legendary TEE train and the Porsche 356. This locomotive was powered by a VW industrial engine and was the prototype of the VW-Porsche trains.

Old soda pop bottle caps.













I think they wanted 23 thou. In this condition... hmmmm, maybe. Might be worth a years pay.








The variety was even found in side ladders, the one above is braced on the wheel arch, the one below (a very good reproduction from Pedro's) braces on the rear rim
