All-
After finding these online, and getting a a pair of used ones sent to me by a nice person in Germany, I am thinking about ordering some for the railway.

More pix on another site, and their intersting wheel chock here too:

They appear to be well made (brass with resin bases) and have three advantages to the LGB manual ones:
-
Prototypical (European) appearance
-
Won’t double as a Uncle Milton’s Ant Farm on my railway (ants love the Lehmann ones for whatever reason).
-
Less likely to gum up with dirt and mud.
I posted this as I figured that someone else might find this of interest, or may have experience with Bertram Heyn’s products.
