Steam locomotive identification needed

[Marco_4124]

What is the proper Playmobil number from this steam locomotive?

[playmofire]

Do you mean the item/set number, e.g. 4051, or the number on the loco?  If the latter, then I don't think there is any one "proper" number as some of these locos came with a set of stickers with a range of numbers on. 

[Marco_4124]

I mean the item or set number from Playmobil. I suspect that the locomotive number is added on by the previous owner.

This loco is (alone) nr. 4051; on plate: 99 501.

But it could also be of set nr.
• 4000 (with 2 blue passenger cars); on plate: 99 501
• 4001 – 4003 (with 2 red passenger cars); on plate: 99 804


See HERE Train FAQ, Nr. 16 [CLICK!].


The number 98812 on the plate of your loco is not original Playmobil!

Playmobil made a gap after the first 2 numbers (99_XXX).

Does somebody also know where I can order this type of lamp?

[zugpferdchen]

Is there a »Conrad« (or another electronic shop) in the Netherlands?

There you can get this lamp [CLICK!]:
(0,96 €)

Conrad is known to me, but there is also an electrionic shop in the neighbourhood.

Now to see it running.

It was a beautiful yesterday, so I build up a layout in de garden at my parents camping site. I've got a lot of visitors from young to old, some suggested I should ask a entrance fee  .



The steamlocomotive at the new railwaycrossing. The railwaycrossing is not complete yet. The warning signs are put on in the Dutch way (horizontal). The guard's shelter is not from Playmobil, but a kit from Pola.



The complete goods train that run yesterday.



It is always nice to have a pair extra eyes while shunting a train backwards.



The passenger train did also run. It was no doubt the most popular train by the visitors. The caboose is from LGB.



Both trains at the passing loop.
