(Left) Henry Marthaler in discussion with Gerda and Cornelius van Vliet about the French Nord 4-4-0 loco presentation set (below), comprising the famous Nord 4-4-0 steam loco with tender and 3 coaches (baggage, 1st and 2nd), including paperwork belonging to the set, together with the rarer 3rd passenger coach, which was sold as an addition to the set (replica box by Henry)

Flywheel drive in a dismantled TRIX Express prototype BR01 4-6-2 pacific steam loco with tender, created by Bern Tauert (Germany)

Articulated diesel loco prototype (derived from V200), from the drawings by Krauss-Maffei (Germany), but never actually built. Made by the same Swiss enthusiast who exhibited the dramatically shortend version of the V200 last year. Notice the 4-4-4 construction using a Jacob's bogie in centre position.
