Help please! Trying to identify two old locomotives I am trying to sell on eBay

[jgilber0]

Hi --

I have searched the web over and over and cannot find more information on these two locomotives[:D]. Does anybody on the forum have any idea what they might be and who made them?

The first is a european prototype 2-6-0 with a three axle tender. Photos and a description are at:

The second item is a Santa Fe EMD F-7, with a shell that looks almost exactly like the old Athearn model, but with separate, glued on numberboards. The chassis is not an Athearn chassis, and it has brass wheels, an open frame rectangular shaped DC motor, no flywheels, and a stamped rectangular metal hoop for a coupler on the rear. I classified it as Fleischmann, but now I'm not so sure. More info on this one can be found at:

Thank you in advance for any help you can give. [:D]

The 2-6-0 is probably a Kleinbahn model from the 50's as the prototype is Austrian, not German.

As for the F-7, to the best of my recollection, Fleischman never made an F-7. They did, however, make an Alco FA decorated in Santa Fe. However, Marklin made one in their AC line. Whether or not it also appeared in their Hamo DC line, I don't know.

Hope this helps.
