Hi ALL!
I continue to find more vintage goodies in this '60’s vintage HO gauge train lot! Is the Horse Cart combo by FAller or Kibri It has a mark on the botom, “RMM” inside a Triangle? I’m getting more of a Faller feeling!

Many Thanks!! Ted

Neither. RMM is a different company. Quick Google search found this:

THX Randy!

If you look at the list over at 1/87, look to the far right, they keep mentioning Preiser. Wonder if the Horse/Cart is Preiser. This RMM thing seems mostly Die Cast vehicles?

THX, Ted

The heading for the RMM site states the company was founded in 1988. The horse and cart is from an era before this.

That’s just when he got around to founding a company. I would suspect models were being made long before 1988. Possible FOR Preiser.
