BTW - where did you get the emblems from ?

I have a Liliput 05, the Olympic version with the Swasticas (spelling) on the smokebox but dare'nt post a pic of it in case it upsets anyone.

I hope I do not affend

I have found that arms fairs are a good source for the side emblems.
These are the small party pins which were worn on civillian clothing.
I have used them on a number of D.R.G loco's.such as this Rivarossi E19.

Nozomi,
Fine photo's of some stunning models

All the best.

The 05 4-6-4 streamliners were running regular services daily just under the world speed record

.
But with very short trains.

All the best,

With my family in germany this topic is a absolute NO.NO.

The problem here is that ARMS FAIRS are very popular and articles fetch huge amounts of money:ie a ss dagger can command £4000.00p the last time I saw one.
A DRG dress sword had a asking price of £10,000p.
Also the Americans love the stuff and will part with silly amounts.
I have an eagle taken from a loco tender,Which I have to keep under rapps when my family visit.
It's a subject that should not be forgotten.
