Steam Powered Locomotives on Stamps

Sounds like a good idea: a thread about the definitives of the DDR.
Unfortunately I am not complete,missing two stamps and a number
of the reprints,what were produced for export,with printed cancels only.

 

The 25 Pfg.-value shows on the right the "Adler" (eagle),the first
locomotive in Germany.
Set issued Dec.5th,1960.

 

Model Railways,issued Aug.29th,1968.

 

Slow train type, Just 14 days after stamp was first released.

 

I wanted to show some cancels, Note this interesting clock type in blue special delivery, Fast train type

 

Don, what type cancel is this?

 

I applagise for the two stamps that are not steam powered trains.

 

No i have just started. My plan was to collected all the shifts positions used not used and on cover. Make an actual position number to help track how scarce the position actuality is. It will be a long process. I even thought about collecting a shifted cover from every state.

 

Left stamp shows the oldest existing original steam locomotive of the
GDR,built in 1861.
stamp issued Sept.13th,1977;from a set of 5;
