TRAINS on POSTAL STATIONERY BELGIUM

	PC - H&G 1 - 1871 - 5c - Steam locomotive emerging from behind figure at left There are some reprints/varieties
	PC - H&G 2 - 5c - 1871 Differs from H&G 1 by the absence of the side panels
	PC - H&G 3 - 5c - 1872 - there are some reprints This card differs from H&G 2 only in its wide double border, and since most of these were cut by hand, one needs a card that was cut large to make the distinction. My card designated H&G 3 does not look any different than my H&G 2 - I suspect it was mis- identified.
