From the 1995 USA LGB of America Catalog News Update (00295):… Ernst Paul Lehmann Patenwerk is best known as the maker of LGB Trains, but for decades, the family firm was world famous for its toys. The Gnomy, a friction-motored replica of the LGB “Stainz” loco, is a bridge between the firm’s toy making past and its train making present. GNOMY® & LGB®, Ernst Paul Lehman Patentwerk, Nürnberg, West Germany. Also may have an original store price tag on box which is fading. Of the actual item available in this listing. Back in the day the G slang in G-scale wasn’t for Gross (big) or Garten (garden) but for G erman language. When I started we could only get European-style designs, so it seemed like ages before we could get any American-styles. It was very difficult to get anything. All the first literature available to me was in German, then it started coming out in British English. It took a long time to get any American English information. When I talked to the very sparse other LGB/G-Scale railroaders, they were all a bunch of really old men, even some even had facial hair! It would take me a week to set my layout up indoors and remarkably only 4 hours to put it away in its original boxes. It was only setup indoors in a large multi-purpose room and a small layout in the living room below the Christmas Tree. This is an LGB related item: LGB is a German-language acronym for. Lehman toys started in late 1800′s and was well known around the world for their tin toys. They introduced the trains in very late 1960′s from West Germany. Western Germany was a common name for the Federal Republic of Germany. When it comes to the G-Scale not everything is in true proportion. I have always viewed it as the point to inspire the artistic and whimsical aspects of model railroading. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ITEMS FROM US: PLEASE WAIT TO PAY.
