These are Models from Lima, Rivarossi, Fleischmann, Hornby, Meccano, Powerline and Playart. Guess, which is what....
Cheers,
Martin

Very nice. I like the orange train on the second shelf. You have some nice looking passenger trains.

nice collection.
Mind zooming into the Builder Lable for the General Electric locomotive?
Top left behind the 2nd & 3rd automobile.
I'm guessing it says GENERAL TURBINE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
Yeah, and bottom right a artist's drawing of the Rock Island AreoTrain.
Chicago Rock Island & Pacific
My guess of what's what... in your order of brans-names, top to bottom.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Hi all,
from top to bottom:
-Fleischmann E10 + Meccano "Rheingold" Set (ca. 1965)
-Lima Japanese suburban MU "Chuo Line" (very rare model!)
-Fleischmann German V200 + "Siverfish" coaches / Lima V-Line (AUS) B80 Diesel + Powerline coaches / Playart 0-2-0T steamer
-Lima Italian E656 + Set of Italian Eurocity-coaches
-00-gauge Locos (Diesels are Lima, the small steamers are Hornby collectors club giveaways)
-Lima Dutch freight train with a class 1200 electric
-Playart Japanese Express MU (cl. 485) / Rivarossi Dutch Cl. 1100 + 3 Lima freight cars
The builders plate on top is from a Union Pacific GE8500 Gas Turbine (replica, actually) and the artists painting of the RI-train is a tin sign. I brought this as a souvenir from a trip to San Francisco a few years ago!
So long,
Martin
P.S. The cars are 1/43 models of russian Lada and Moskvich automobiles...

Hello,
not the fist time that I´ve been asked about this signature! The train is a Brazilian FEPASA train, the engine is a V8 Class electric, almost similar to the NH EP4 (?).
I found this years ago on a Brazilian site, can´t remember which. I even don´t know, how this thing works. But the good thing is, no accident by now, no derailment...
