| Hess 300 series locomotives The Hess 300 locomotive was created in the late 1890s or very early 1900s and though originally sold by Hess through wholesale distributors, it was also sold to other manufacturers such as Carette and Bing. Most of these were push powered, but a clockwork version was made for Bing which had large, outside the frame wheels. An earlier flywheel powered version was also available. There is another 300 series on this website made for the Danish market with different graphics and marked “D.S.B.” (Danish State Railways). Top locomotive shown in blue was probably made for Bing, middle locomotive in green and numbered “908” was made for Carette. Bottom red version is the standard Hess model. |

Four Hess locos, from the smallest 100 series on the far right, 575 series, 300 series and 1023. Although the 1023 loco appears larger than the 300, it is close to the same size overall once the cowcatcher is excluded. The 300 series carriages also fit well with the 1023 loco.
