While the exact year is unknown, the presence of a West German stamp confirms that it is from before the 1980s. This item is modeled after a locomotive from the pre-World War II German National Railway, the Deutsch Reichsbahn. It is, of course, a genuine MARKLIN product. The box, power supply, etc., are not included. Everything in the photos is what's included. Also, a power-up running test has not been performed.
