Karl Bub Nuremberg (KBN aka BUB) Clockwork Novelty Trains - Circus Train featuring a moving monkey in tender, a moving giraffe car and a playing seals car, the animals move with the torque of the windup Loco pulling, made in Germany in the 40´s
Missing the 0-4-0 Loco with moving clown driver, missing all the wheels, fortunatelly i have plenty of spares from old lots, the loco will be almost impossible to find.

Never heard of Bub, but I like it.
Thank you Toyrebel, Karl Bub made some amazing clockwork and electric trains in O scale, most of them in lithographed Tinplate or pressed steel, older models are casted iron, he was a big player among the best European Tinsmiths of the epoque: Bing, Marklin, Krauss, Louis Roussy, JEP, etc...
