For the third time since December 2007 eBay (ITEM No. 120259359271 ) is auctioning an 'Aster / Fulgurex' Gauge 1, Steam fired, gray liveried BR 005 at -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120259359271&Category=81013&_trksid=p3907.m29.
The excellent and indispensable 'Southern Steam Trains' list that Aster had manufactured 620 by 1987. HOWEVER this locomotive seems to fly the dual Fulgurex made by Aster banner; rather like those Fulgurex made by http://www.bockholt-lokomotiven.de//
So how I know that this is the third BR 86 005, unfired, original box, same makers (? batch number displaying -
Fulgurex- Aster
019B 1987 ??????
I purchased one of them at XMAS 2007. Good deal I thought;
when a second one appeared early this year from the same eBay source with the identical images I became nervous;
But a THIRD one with Identical images Mr Bond is more than coincidence. Different German I think though
So do we have a faking industry in Germany ?
Finally what do we know of the Fulgurex Aster models/kits?
I happen to have bought a beautiful SNCF 141R Fulgurex- Aster Pacific - I wonder who made it ?
There - I'm less pressured now .... Kind Regards
