Unknown engine and set of accessories
« on: April 05, 2022, 02:40:34 pm »
My wife collects steam engines and associated accessories for the last 30 years.  We moved awhile back and she pulled many of them out of storage for display in a new cabinet.  She has never figured out some of them. 

First is a set of five accessories, she has always seen them together and there is a title indicating Fleischmann.  There is a logo on the windmill and in her accessories book it shows as a Karl Rohrseitz, Zindorf Germany and the logo introduced in 1925.  The other four have a circle " Made in Germany US Zone" around the perimeter and a double "M" in the center.  Photo does not come out very good .  What I mean is an M then vertically down a bit another M.


The second is a Vertical Boiler Oscillating engine. Missing the stack. 

Thank You for any insights.

Bob for Gen

I have never gotten a definite answer on the maker of the green/orange accessories (they are not Fleischmann) but I purchased this advertisement in the link below from Eaton’s in Canada. I have most often seen the accessories for sale out of Canada and often with Fleischmann engines on ebay.

And yet again, another set of the tools listed with a Fleischmann, sold out of Canada
