Razorback Traction Co.: A Gen-U-Wine Aunty-Que!
This scruffy little sheet-metal shed has been a part of my traveling trolley show for nearly a decade, now, since I found it at a train show in the Mid-South for $5 or so.
It's stamped "Made in Germany" on the bottom, and I've been idly curious about its provenance, if any, so I posted this pic to the European Toy Trains group on Yahoo the other day, just to see if anyone could identify it...
Well, a chap named Fred van der Lubbe came through, and much to my surprise...

Not only German, but it could be as old as 77 years old! Nifty, eh?
Still gonna keep using it on the layout, though. It has character.
