My new On30-train - rare Biller-Bahn tin plate

[Waldbahner]

Hello guys,

last Friday at the big live steam event, I bought an injector for my live steamers at a dealer from UK. And there she was....
A box with rare Biller-Bahn tin plate railroad stuff. It took me 30 second to make my decission and I bought the whole set for a good price.
This stuff was made before I was born, maybe in the late 50th.

The gauge is 16.5mm (H0) and the scale something between gauge I and O-scale. Mostly it's called as On30, but it's closer to 1:32n2 I guess.
Anyway, the steam loco is powered by a clock work and I had some fun on the floor yesterday evening. Here's a short video of the little train in action.

That is pretty cool! I don't usually have any interest in tinplate stuff...but that sure is neat! Thanks for posting the video of your op-session!
