OK, Confession..........I have found myself becoming an obsessive collector of MOB LGB G scale Gutterwagons. !!!
Im managing to get them from fairs and online, I think I only need 3 more "official Lgb" versions, they have been obtained at quite reasonable prices (£49 to £60) as they dont fly off the shelves as my collecting obsession is "limited" probably to just me !
1) Cola (lgb 402283), (expensive as deemed a collector item )
2) Gataz Romang (LGB 41283) (just not seen one for a reasonable price)
3) Old Cardinal Beer (lgb 40284)...... (rare)
The Mob had many many more advertising cars in the 1980s and these have been catalogued thanks to the X-rail.ch website. my next project will be to create a new one not available or made by LGB. Bemo (Hom scale) created many more and thanks to Peter Brett keeping his website going while not trading Bemo anymore you can see some of the designer at the following link. Winco
So which one should I create for myself next and which one would you like to see ?? please help.
I have set Poll going on facebook (swiss model railway group) if your interested in helping please vote along.
The options are:
1) GK 501 Yoplait (93 version)
2) GK501 Swiss Life (95 version)
3) GK505 Sprite (88 version)
4) GK507 Coop (88 version)
5) GK513 Fanta (86 versions)
6) GK562 Pepsi (95 version)
I think my early preference would be the Sprite wagon re created
Or Maybe the Fanta
I have already committed to recreating the GK 527 Hazyland wagon as i just think its interesting, Im going to use a Nesquik Wagon to create these from, Nesquik NEVER featured as an Advertisement wagon on the MOB and it was just a "gimick/promo" item from LGB.
