This was a nice post to find. My brother is a model railroader (N gauge) and married to a German woman. I want to make a framed gift of 4 or 5 nice train stamps from Europe. I will get some good ideas from this post.
Glad I found this,

I don't know if it's by the popular engraver also, but it's still looks nice, isn't it?
