<p>It´s a model of the German WWII Wehrmacht Diesel-electric D311, used to pull the railroad guns "Heavy Gustaf" and "Dora" during the siege of Sevastopol. 4 locos were built, and two survived the war to later become Deutsche Bundesbahnclass V188, which were scrapped in 1973.</p> <p>This type of loco was offered by a number of different manufacturers - Marklin, Trix, Roco, Lima and Rivarossi. Your loco seems to have been made by Lima (the pancake motor will tell you). It came in a set with a military train, consisting of two 4-wheeled freight cars, a passenger car, a model of the rilroad gun "Leopold" and the loco - all in a camouflage livery.</p> <p><img src="http://www.redsbazaar.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/P1010002-500x480.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The set was marketed in 1999 and very rare nowadays, but not really valuable.</p>
