I saw on eBay a tender flr tje 4052 customized for a circus
Actualmy is the tird time i see a tender customized in the same way. Wich makes me wonder if by any chance existed like that.
I attach the pictures. I purchase one but habent got it yet.

Nein, so einen Zug gab's nie in echt von Playmobil. Die Schrift ähnelt der des LGB-Zirkuszugs. Ich vermute, sie wurde von dort abgeschaut.
There's never been a train like that by Playmobil. As the letters match those LGB used at their Circus-trains, I tend to assume they've been copied from LGB.

It does not appear on the Playmobil database.
The lettering is from the LGB Toy Train Circus train.
In my opinion it is a customized tender.
-
Well i know is not any Playmobil site or anything, but see in it on ebay 3 times with no Engine.
In other picture you can see how they painted underneet too.
But i can see a clearly a sticker on.
Oh well, what about LGB catalogs??

You can download them as PDF file. (http://www.lgb.de/de/service/veroeffentlichungen/gesamtkatalog.html)

Yes, I think they are LGB stickers, but a search on "LGB circus train" didn't produce any pictures which matched these, However, here's a link showing the full sheet, and LGB they certainly are:

Ill ask the seller where did he find them as he got five like this same one. No engines.
-
Can you give me a link to his site as I may be interested in buying one. I don 't particularly want a circus tender, but I do want a tender for a Playmobil loco.

Actually Playmofire theres no more left.
The reason i got them all, but didnt want to mention it XD

That's a disappointment. :( :( :(

Are you sure these are from a 4052? It seems there is no motor blocks inside.
What are you planning on doing with 5?

Yes, I wondered about that - both points, was there a motor block and what your plans were.

A close look reveals: There seem to be no,... äh, "Stromabnehmer", those current collectors (how are these things called?), so it could indeed be the US-version. While the German 4052 was equipped with a motor each inside engine and tender, the US-engine's tender run empty.
Beim näheren Hinsehen fällt mir auch auf, daß da keine Stromabnehmer zu sehen sind. Dann könnte das ein US-Tender sein. Während die deutsche 4052 je einen Motor in Lok und Tender hatte, zog die US-Version einen leeren Tender.

I think "pick-ups" is the word you're looking for Stefan, although some LGB users call them skates.

I didn't know that about the US tender. I wonder why?
-
Ah, pick-ups. Thanks a lot!

Neither me. We incidentially found out at our 2007-Wolfsburg meeting, when we were able to present the complete rolling stock ever produced by Playmobil. Someone graciously let us a 110V US-version so we noticed the difference. But still I don't know why they dropped the second motor block. To me that's THE plus of the engine.
Mir war das auch neu. Wir hatten es zufällig anläßlich der WOB-Auststellung 2007 herausgefunden, für die wir das gesamte Rollmaterial von Playmobil zusammengesucht hatten. Irgendwer hatte uns freundlicher Weise eine 110V-US-Version der Schlepptenderlok geliehen, so daß uns der Unterschied auffiel. Den Grund habe ich nie herausgefunden. Für mich ist der zweite Motor der große Vorteil dieser Lok.

The same reason geobra made the TRU Chinese junk, cheaper.
It's a pretty simple fix
-
well if not the 4052, the 4029,,,,
why 5?? well his price was like 35 dls each, or best offer. i offer 25 and to keep them all he said yes....
i have a couple 4034 and 4052 with no tender, for some reason the 4034 tender is so week from the front connector, and i got 3 broken ones... i can switch the motor blocks and customize the engine...
my point was, is not the first time i see this tender in a white color, i used to think they were customs all this time. but is the tird time i see one like this one on ebay. And why 5 tenders by itself, no engines,,, he said he got them that way.
you can see the sticker, also the black paint inside.

And the part you used Michael is.......? I tried to do the same type of thing but stupidly decided to use a coupler off of an older train. It only had two glue points and would not stay together no matter what epoxy or glue I used. This piece has a flat surface so it looks like it will mate with the train much better.

It is a step from a tank engine, and a great idea.

Yes it are the stairs from a loc
The plastic is softer so doesnt break that fast
Drove a whole summer without any problems
