I have never seen these pics before, only heard the legends! Thanks for showing the oics, hadoque!

Gaston, the steamboat is actually talked about in the collector book, at the beginning. Basically, it was just too expensive to be practical I think. But now that I actually see it... :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: It's so gorgeous! It would be great for setting up a New Orleans scene. Maybe someday.... :cloud9:

As for the medeival torture instruments, I can see why they changed their minds! :lol:

Thank you for showing us these rare photos, Hadoque! I really like the steam boat paddle wheel! Someone could make a great custom casino out of it! ;D
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

I thought we had seen these pics here.  :hmm:
Maybe I'm wrong...
And I thought these items were custom made...Are you sure about your infos, these being in a glass cabinet in Zindorf?

I'm in love with the medieval tent and torture rack.  Thanks for sharing.

The collector book definitely talks about this Mississippi steamboat as a prototype that was never produced. It doesn't have a picture, though.
