Hi
Does anyone know if LGB ever made an Austrian version of Nikki+Frank S? I was looking through some old modelling magazines from 10-12 years ago and came across a couple of articles showing the LGB HF110C Nikki+Frank S lettered and numbered as OBB 798.03. I am not sure if these have been modified, or if LGB made an OBB version a few years ago. If so, does anyone know the catalogue number?
Many thanks!
 
The original blue one 20261 was numbered 798 101 but not with any OBB insignia.
 
You may be interested in an article in the latest Gartenbahn profi magazine (3/2020 page 60) on the Nicki S and Frank S. The article includeds details and photos of Nicki S in Austria.

Regards

Martin
 
Ah, zombie thread….appeared.
I’m pretty sure they didn’t. At least catalogue versions.

I have a real fondness for the Nikki and Frankie style locomotives and I own the black, green, blue and the live steam versions. I keep an eye out for LGB offerings every year and have since I first started in LGB in 1985.
 
The green HFD loco is an Austrian loco, Nicki S. It ran on the Bregenzerwaldbahn but I am not sure whare else. That was produced as a model by LGB. I don’t think any 798 class locos were produced. Lotus lok made some models but I think they were mainly SKGLB models.
