Lima UPS Bogie Habills Parcel Van Catalogue No 309051-2

[bill7437]

Does anyone have any information about the above item??. I gather

it was produced by Lima after the takeover of Jouef as it is obviously a Jouef mold for their Cargowaggon. I would like to know when it was produced, was it a promotional item for UPS Germany as it was numbered for DB and how many were made. As an aside 309051-1 was produced for Deutsche Post using the same tooling but with a yellow paint job. Perhaps issued at the same time. Although I have a very comprehensive collection of Lima catalogues neither of these wagons appear in same.

Hi Bill,

I found this image of it on the web.

And the Jouef info website has a page on it too:

That suggests it's a 2002-2004 promotional model.

If you fancy extending your train, Electrotren for Lemke, Ref: LC21010 c.2008 was a 2 axle UPS slide door wagon with almost identical decoration as the Lima model above. It came with a Wiking lorry.

There might be one kicking around somewhere...
