PDF (75 MB)

The Modellbahn Freunde LIC catalog is black and white xeroxes of the special cars he (Walter Eckardt) sold. It has an interesting introduction to what he termed Limited Issue Cars. This booklet is the only documentation I know of for many privately printed cars including ones he produced such as the "Beers Common in the USA" series (Bass, Chihuahua, Coors, Grizzly, Labatt's, Michelob, Miller Lite, Pabst, Tsingtao) which are among my favorite items. His catalog also lists years and production numbers.
