This Christmas gift (notice the ‘Merry Christmas’  template inside the red LGB box next to a graphical winter scene with the front elevation of a golden Stainz) was given to Klaus in December 1994 by Wolfgang Richter and presented to him by Klaus Baumann (VP Sales LGB). Klaus then upgraded this specialty car by equipping the car with spoke and full metal wheels to improve running characteristics as well as enhance the overall impression of carrying this important, heavy load – especially when filled with fresh draft…


This LGB 4058 depressed car with Stein came in a limited series of 100, most of which were given to friends in Germany. Until today none of this limited edition has ever come onto the market  complete as this package- neither in auctions nor for sale. You may find the beer stein offered but you will not find this specialty made LGB 4058 Christmas edition w/Stein.

Length: 680mm

To the consummate LGB collector/fan:

It comes with documentation about the original flat car,

the story behind the Beer Stein and the gift, excerpts from the LGB compendium and the Certificate of Valuation and Authenticity.

Klaus will open his treasure trove of LGB collection again, soon!!
