collected Curiosities

 

This page shows several Locos, Coaches and Toys by Biller which I collected or got knowledge of from other collectors.  All these Toys really exist - however were subject to more or less professional handicraft work

 
This 013-1, found in my 150 Set with the "Made in Germany - Soviet-Zone" marking, is missing the frame. So the previous owner from Sicily / Italy simply re-bent the fishplates at the cabin's rear and lead the spring through the front of the cooler - and it is working.  The chassis of a 500/1550 with the clockwork of a 500 tin steam loco. The holes in the chassis are closed by rivets. Assumed to be delivered from the factory as seen here!!!

What a hodgepodge - so many parts of different locos: chassis of a 550/1550, battery truck 1502 of a blue 1500, superstructure of a normal 013 Diesel, Motor of a red 1500. This one has been on the front page twice - Diesel outline superstructure on a wooden 4-axle truck.
 

Not necessarily only locos and coaches were subject to handicraft work. Left side shows a 090 helicopter on the platform of an Atom-Gun 135 - right side shows a plastic-whale mounted on a 190 base

 

All these following Toys really exist - however they shall be considered as "Fun".

This is the 500 FR. This is a version of a - in 2008 sighted - Piedmont Cherry Plantation (Italy) - used to transport the cherry yield. Locals call this loco fondly "Mon Cher" - my dear. Right side towing an empty 502-2 FR.

I saw several of these trains - but regrettably only during the cold autumn and winter period - and disappeared again - just like nothing. Right picture shows the solely 511 RS FR - No. 1 behind the engine.

still in service - the 1st version of the 502 FR

Interesting the fact that just the solely side-tipper in red-black colour-scheme is in use - but this is perfect in regard to the general appearance.

Wow - here it is - the blue clockwork

 

Already known for some years - foldable rails in Light and Xtreme versions

Left picture shows the 023 B stationary Railroad Crane in blue - and right side shows the 095 R - Dock Yard Crane in red. What do these varieties say? Thanks to Paul Ast who kept an eye on this.
