Garratt ?

Quite nice, but both a bit naughty in that they are described as "LGB" locos rather than what they obviously are, which is scratchbuilds on LGB power units....
To me they both look like they are plasticard builds, though there may be some brass involved too. The green one looks better made than the black, but that may just be the poor photos. The black one is probably worth quite a bit just for the two 4-6-2 power chassis under it! The green one looks to me like it's on a pair of Stainz power units.

Apparently, the black one will pull out tree stumps....
 
I'm still trying to work out how you can put lights in low gear. :thinking:
I think the green model looks quite smart (and the tree stumps have already been pulled in our garden). Still prefer a Sachsen IV K
 
I'm not sure what the power bogies are made from but they don't look like LGB, the the front pony truck looks Bachmann.

You may well be right (I assume you're talking about the black one?), though in that case it makes describing them as "LGB" locos even MORE misleading..... :@
The green one definitely looks like a pair of Stainz units.

Something that big would cost a fortune to send to Aus.
