History and use
The model is a Deutsche Reichsbahn 2-8-4 12 Class steam locomotive.

The locomotive is numbered 12 007.

The 12 class locomotives were transferred from the Bundesbahn Österreich in 1938 when the Austrian Railways came under German control due to the Anschluss.

This particular version of the model features Wagner style smoke deflectors.

Bockholt produced this model for Fulgurex in 1986.

The model is housed in a wooden box along with a manufacturer's card and fact sheet.

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.
