I have owned a redundant Lima O gauge 4 wheel shunter from the day after Noah told his passengers to 'go forth and multiply!'
As far as I know, it still works.
some years ago, I read somewhere that the Lima shunter was in fact a Kof shunter with a quite tall cab ...a thing Lima did for no apparent reason?
However, to prove a point, I removed the cab, surgically, lowered its height to approximately what I took to be the height of a Kof shunter's cab, and glued it back on.
BTW, this was before it became a museum piece.
Can any of you lot who are into German protoypes confirm/deny this was in fact what Lima ought to have done in the first place?
also, what colours should it be painted?
