i remermer the train of my grandpa, was a fleishman swiss model with die-cast loco and tin-plate cars, 1 baggage and 3 passenger. the track was built with tin-plate rails and cardbord ties.....

Andre, was that a h0 or 0 train? Fleischmann did make 0 2rail trains after the second WW, but they vanished in a few years. The cardboard ties are common with german trains after the war, trix also used that. Maerklin used pertinax for ties. The carboard ties where used as far as I know only for h0, but I don't know the track Fleischmann made for 0 after ww2.
I do know that those items are very rare, so if you still have it, be carefull with it.

Great photos! Spankybird did you notice what was in the background of Wiz1500's photo? I believe he has a steamer that makes as much smoke as any of yours.

Buckeye, I did notice it, but I believe that it is a UP Diesel
