German Translation

Manxman · German Translation

This is a request for help. In Mike's pics from STIA he managed to get this photo. This seems to be a kit built engine and the instructions are in German.

Is anyones German (and eye sight) good enough to work out any of the words and if any of the information helps identify a maker.

Thanks for anyone's help.

I can use the zoom feature on IE7 to look closer, I'll type what I can fathom out here, and James (seeing as he does German at school) might be able to translate it

I did German, but failed it, so i'm as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest

James

Tell me what it says. If I can't do it, I will ask my German German teacher

I zoomed in as far as IE7 will let me (400%) and I can't make it out

James

Hmmmm. I can't read it with my bare eyes

I have the original hi res image still.

James

Ahh! Good good. Post up what it says mate, or PM me it.

Thanks for the help guys. Yes Mike if you can send it to James and James, hopefully a teacher can help.

I think the first word is something like 'Instructions' or something like that....

My German's pretty good....I can make out

Bauanleitung fur den "Sachsenmeister" modellbaukasten Grosse III. Zum selbstbau einer Dampflokomobil oder strassendampfwalze

"Building instructions for the "Sachsenmeister" model set size 3. For self-building of a steam locomobile or a steam road roller"

Thanks Moose. Does that mean that we can assume this kit was produced by someone called "Sachsenmeister"?

Found this:

Looks like "Sachsenmeister" is the brand.....means something like "Master Craftsman", don't know how to translate it properly. According to that auction it's a kit of parts that requires soldering and assembling.

Nice find Mooseman.
Do we have any idea how old it is?

Manxman

What a great find. Thanks Moose. I'm going to print all that off. Another engine identified. Now I just need to wait for one to come up on ebay that I can bid on.
