Trains on stamps, Part 4: Stamps from USSR, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Maldives, Italy, German Democratic Republic, Federal Republic of Germany, Poland, Laos, Bhutan and Kampuchea/Cambodia.

Of all these countries represented on this stock book page, who shows the most modern trains?

Kampuchea, of course. 

Isn't Kampuchea the premier country for railway technology?

And Bhutan, a close second? 

:)

Can you spot the tramway, on this page?

Trains on stamps, Part 3: stamps from Romania, Dahomey, Guinea-Bissau...and Burkina Faso, too!

Dahomey is now Benin.

Guinea-Bissau: not Guinea, not Equatorial Guinea, not Papua-New Guinea.

Burkina Faso, the country formerly known as Upper Volta.

Romania - roughly a third of it... is a region called Transylvania. :)

That concludes our brief geo-history moment, boys and girls. :)

Trains on stamps, Part 2: SUPERB 6-stamp series + souvenir sheet, from Liberia!

This is one of my most favorite stamp series from my collection!

You don't have to be a train fan(atic) to like this. :)

It's more than "some trains on stamps" - it's also a glimpse into other cultures, other historical periods, looking at those people and their dresses.

This excellently-drawn and designed stamps series was probably NOT manufactured by "the good, crafty people" of Liberia.

Like so many other stamps, they were probably manufactured in another country, wherever the philatelic agent/contractor saw fit to do it.

If you know the truth about it, tell us! :)
