Here are some images of a really beautiful old German Tin Toy Barn.
early bus !
looks like an old British plate, which is fitting, since nearly every half good Barndoor remaining seems to get there
narrowed beam , nice ribbed bumper !
environment friendly power equipment
early Porsche 16s, tucked in nicely
that's what I call a 'Stinger'
true scale to the originals
Hope you enjoy as much as I do, gotta stop posting and get back playing on the floor. This rolls so nicely and low... _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !

It is actually one base car that has 3 interchangeable roof sections. Quite clever design.
It also has steering and a forward/stop/reverse mode of the spring driven gearunit.
I stumbled across it on ebay and the set was reasonable priced, considering the near mint condition of the paint after more than 50 yrs.
The Kombi has the same paint pattern as my Kohlruss ( pale yellow/green) but I'm not brave enough to cut in the roof windows in the DUX _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !

that is a good idea, which I also had before, too
There's an NOS panel roof in the classifieds that I could modify into the complete Kohlruss Window Madness, but I doubt that I will be brave enough to cut in that one either... _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !
