Not sure that it will all fit in a 20 ft container... :o
 
Shipping seems reasonable though.......................................................
 
Is that the collection of the guy with the hotel at Wengen ? Andy Engi I think.
 
Yes, that is the one. I checked out his web sites, which haven't been updated for a long time. On his blog it says that "even after the conviction there is enough money left to buy one Allegra".

Now you can't leave it like that!! :o
You have to fill in the dots a little, as I am unable to find a blog, or much about the railway in English..
 
Ha! I don't know any more myself. :-\

Here are the links copied from the Ebay ad: www.gardenrailway.ch www.alpenwagen.ch
 
The blog says this -
<<<Auch nach der Verurteilung ist noch Geld vorhanden um einen Allegra zu kaufen.

Allegra

Mit den Gewinnen alpenwagen, die ich leider nie erhalten habe, hätte ich sicher 10 Stück von den Allegras kaufen können. So ist es nun ein Allegra geworden.

Ich arbeite an einem Projekt unter dem Namen alpenwagen.ch, das eine Einzelfirma ist und bei der ich jetzt nicht mehr fürchten muss, dass die Gewinne nicht bei Engi bleiben. Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf das neue Produkt.>>>

Google translate - which normally does a better job than this says:
<<<Even after the conviction is still money available to buy at a Allegra .

Allegra

The profits alps dare I unfortunately never received, I certainly could buy 10 pieces of the Allegra . Thus, it has now become a Allegra .

I'm working on a project called alpenwagen.ch that is a sole proprietorship and where I now no longer needs to be afraid that profits are not staying with Engi . I 'm already looking forward to the new product .>>>

Please don't quote this as a reliable translation until someone with good German has had a look at it and perhaps other postings, but implication would appear to be that somewhat stiffed him in a financial deal, which might explain selling the railway stuff to raise capital.

There is only one other blog entry and it's not related to this. Here goes the translation:

With the profits from Alpenwagen, which I have never received, I could probably have bought 10 Allegras. So now it has become one.

I am working on a new project under the name alpenwagen.ch, which is a separate company, where I don't have to fear that the profits don't stay with Engi. I am much looking forward to the new product.

We can all draw conclusions from that, but there is no further info.

He offers some nice looking models of Saurer trucks and buses. Could be of interest to people modelling RhB, etc.
 
Intriguing!?? As many questions, as answers.. ;)

Thank you for your efforts in following this up. - My German etc. begins, and ends, at non-PC phrases from comic books in my youth, I'm afraid. :(

Ahhh, the famous "Victor Comics German" - which I seem to recall still had a rather larger vocabulary than "Victor Comics Japanese", which was mostly "AIIIIEEEEE, BANZAIIII!!!!" ;)

Such were the innocent joys of a pre-PC childhood......
