The steam tender locomotive 3028 took this nickname from the fact that it came from a starset with references 3228 or 3128.
These different starter sets were all produced for Austria, they were rather spartan and contained only a CM 800 (3000) locomotive without a lighting system most likely for economic reasons, a couple of wagons and an oval of M track.
