• Made a few recent purchases outside of ebay (from forum friends) that need to get posted, but here's the first "ebay engine arrival" I've had in awhile.
  
  Was only an hour away, almost went and picked it up. Would have been nice to buy outside of ebay now that I am being charged sales tax

  And seller took the time to tape cardboard triangles in the top corners of the box for extra protection. Nice to see some people still care

  You've got the right country and I think you are familiar with this maker

• German makers have sooooooo many similarities that it will just have to be a true guess ....  so I'll guess Marklin.

  Daniel is the winner with Märklin 
  
  A 4097/92/6
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Now why did I buy this when I don't need another? Because the asking price was less than what the dynamos bring on their own. My plan was to use it on my 4098/92/8 which has a metal fatigued dynamo cover and sell the engine which I thought was a duplicate...
  
  However, on arrival I have now realized that the similar one I had here was the next size up... a 4097/92/7

• So I now have the 4097/92/6,7, and 8 in this color scheme and a few in the earlier more colorful style.
