History and use
The model is a Deutsche Bundesbahn 2-8-2 86 Class tank locomotive which were delivered between 1928-1943 and were built by numerous manufacturers. In total 775 of these locomotives were built and after the Second World War, 385 were allocated to the newly created Deutsche Bundesbahn (West German Railway).
Aster made 620 of this model in 1987 in two version. One version was painted in black while the other was painted in photo grey.
The T-House model rail collection is a collection of national and international significance due to the size, quality and scope of the collection.
The collection, assembled over 30 years from the 1970s to the 1990s, holds 10 000+ models of locomotives, carriages and wagons. The collection is in excellent – often mint – condition. The models were collected by Mr Marsden Williams, who was born, raised and spent his life in the Wollongong area. Mr Williams was a business man who was renowned for philanthropy, he was an intensely private man, who nevertheless was well connected across the Australian business world. His 40 year fascination for model railways reflected his own interest in precision engineering, and his financial success allowed him to pursue his interest to a remarkable extent.
