Just won a new loco today that should go well with my Bowman 410! (Both have oscillating cylinders in the cab) The only problem is I'm not sure if it's O-gauge or not (looks to me like it is)

Another ebayer contacted the seller telling him it is called a "Kraftdampflok". Is this right?

Here's the ebay pics, I'll post more when it arrives.

Its 'O' guage.
I have one very similar, just a different paint scheme.
It should also have a tender.
Here is mine in the second photo down on this page.

Mine looks great but isn't a very good runner. I think mainly because mine still isn't run in.

Looks to be in pretty good condition yours too.

I also have another one of these but it needs a little bit of work.

Thanks for the links Tony (I thought you had one).

I also figured it needed a tender, but oh well, it'll still be fun.

It is an odd size, just a bit too small for Hornby rolling stock so keep your eye out for some Bing wagons.
I got lucky and got 2 very nice ones off ebay OZ for around $30
