Marklin HO scale HR800 4-6-2...


---or---just say yes when someone asks you, "You want this European stuff I got in this box? I'm just gonna toss it."

Marklin 4-6-2


Wrapped in a Sept. '56 newspaper, it ran after a couple of drops of Wahl Clipper oil were put on the commutator and motor bearings. The track was in excellent condition, the lot also included 12 tinplate freight cars and 4 passenger coaches. Even the lights worked after 50 years in storage, a testament to Marklin's workmanship.
