I really thought I was almost through with my European stuff. Nope. Not yet. I keep finding photos of things that haven't gotten posted yet. Case in point: I have two Karl Bub houses and have only posted one of them. I have as well as an Issmayer piece and a Jep train set - all of which will be posted here hopefully within the next week. The Karl Bub house pictured below was posted back on 26 Nov 2019.The seller listed it as Pre-War and that's how it was posted but it may be Post-War. TBD

TRAIN TIME: Karl Bub Nuremburg German House with Steep Roof
Next is the second Karl Bub house. As is usual with me, I more than likely got distracted and totally forgot to post this back in 2019 when the photos were taken. This piece was also listed as Pre-War by the seller, but again, as I don't have any reference materials on my German tin, I can't say for sure. There's a nub on the base that I'm assuming accommodated a post of some kind. It measures: Base: 5" (12.7cm) W x 4 1/4" (10.79cm) D x 3/8" (0.9525cm) H House: 4 5/8" (11.74cm) W x 2" (5.08cm) D x 3 1/2" (8.89cm) H The piece is 3 7/8" (9.84cm) H overall. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

TRAIN TIME: Bing (?) Karl Bub (?) Goods Depot
After bouncing this around a few fb groups the consensus was that it is Bing - sort of, maybe - could also be Karl Bub. Here's the rub: it's not marked with a manufacturer's name and this building was copied by several companies using the same stampings but with different lithography or perhaps without the loading dock. It measures: 10 1/8" (25.71cm) L x 3 1/16" (7.77cm) W x 3 1/2" (8.89cm) H. If anyone knows absolutely for sure who made this drop a comment below please - Many Thanx! Enjoy! Opa Fritz

TRAIN TIME: Karl Bub Nuremberg - Pre-war German House w-Fence for O-Gauge Trains
I've been acquiring a few small German style houses recently suitable for O-gauge. Maybe I can cobble together a small German style train layout - it would have to be small - got no room for a big layout! Anywho, nothing has gelled yet in my mind but gathering materials is the first phase. This measures:
House: 3" (7.62cm) D x 4 1/8" (10.47cm) W x 3 7/8" (9.84cm) H
O'all 4 1/4" (10.79) H
It appears to be missing a pole - lamp post perhaps? but I have no reference books on German tin so can't say. In any case - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
