  I understand the partnership scenarios, but I'm still flummoxed by
plastic handles on the throttle and whistle.  The base, engine, and
firebox are all very nice looking.  Very different look from my
Bing-Wolf twin though apparently they were both made pre-WWII.

  Gotta love those German industrialists, they leave nothing to waste.
During WWII they produced unauthorized airplanes out of spare parts.
The plane was just that good but out-of-favor. 

  One other thing.  There was mention of a 'VEDES' badge on the base.
I see none but there appears to be a area where there was a circular
sticker.  Could the badge have been a stick-on?

Thanks,
Wayne
