If you know about trains maybe you could help me ? I just found an old model railroad from an abandoned house (soon to be demolished). I don't know the manufacturer. Only a cardboard cover is left from the original packing. It says "Made in U.S.Zone in Germany". So I think this railroad was made just after WWII in US controlled part of Germany during the period of 1945-1948(?). Here's a few pictures I took:

This model railroad is complete, I think all parts are there: four sections of rail, a train (works by a spring), coal carriage and one passenger carriage.

Who is the manufacturer ? Is it valuable ?
