I recently discovered an old model railroad from an abandoned house (soon to be demolished). It's very old and in quite a good shape but I don't know who's the manufacturer. Only a cardboard cover is left from the original packing. It says "Made in U.S.Zone in Germany". So I think this railroad was made just after WWII in US controlled part of Germany during the period of 1945-1948(?). Here's a few pictures I took:

In the upper right corner of the carboard cover is somesort of logo (see the second link). I think it says B.O. or O.B.
This model railroad is complete, I think all parts are there: four sections of rail, a train (works by a spring), coal carriage and one passenger carriage.
Maybe some of you can identify the manufacturer ? Is it rare ?
