Model Railroads: Country Trends--Unidentified Countries


Figure 1.--This postcard-back snapshot was taken in 1966g, we are notsure what the g means. And written on the back is what looks like Bgd. Larolurmo. We do npt know what that means, possiblt the boy's name. The photograph comes from a Serbian dealer, but we think it was probably taken in Germany. The doll along hair give the impression the child was a girl, but long hair was becoming popular for boys at the time and girls rarely showed n interest in electric trains. He wears ski sweater an short oants with wgat kook like long stockings, although tights in 1966 were more likely.

Electric trains were popular with boys throughout Europe and America. We have found quite a few images, but some do not identify the country. They are useful images showing boys enjoying all kinds of different trains Clues from the image can help ientify the the country, or at least narrow it down to a limited numbr of possibilities. In several cass we are fairly sure about the images, but have no way of being positive. And of course we hope that readers will help identify the countries.
