Unusual german locos

[stevem]

Hi guys

At Annerley here in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, we had a German chap building models that it seems to one knew about until he died. Two Steam locos are yet to be sold, an 0-6-0T and 0-6-2T, both unusual in thier design. The 0-6-2 has a massive gas and water tank car behind. Does anyone know about this builder. They may both go up for sale at the AMRA Open Day and Buy & Sell on 21/7 at Zillmere, Brisbane.

Regards
Steve

Don't know anything about them but I do like 'em!

The O-6-0T shares it's number and general outline with 'Fiffi' in the Harz mountains -

so presumeably that's what it's intended to represent if somewhat simplified in outline.

Kiss have previously done a finescale but electrically powered version of this loco and it's sister 'Pfiffi' (they are otherwise identical locos, one superheated, the other saturated).

Blimey, talk about eclectic. They are highly desirable though.
