LGB 2020 Stainz 2 Locomotive

LGB 2020 Stainz 2 Locomotive




LGB Stainz
Made from 1968 to 1990, 0-4-0 tank locomotive.  "Stainz 2" modeled from the 1892 vintage locomotive of the Steiermarkischen Landesbahnen (StLB).  Has "Baldwin" type non smoking stack.  #2 on cab.  In many respects, it is very similar to the 2010 and 2040 steam locomotives.  This locomotive is iconic as it is used for the LGB logo.  Many have appeared in starter sets, and they are considered a staple of many LGB collections.  Therefore, this item has outsold any other model.  Replaced by the 2020D in 1991.  Also sold with LGB starter sets #20301.

Length: 250 mm.
