Thank you for viewing. This is a 1975 Marklin 3003 Type 24 steam locomotive, made in West Germany. This is an HO gauge analog model. The real BR24 was a vehicle manufactured from 1928 to 1939, with 95 units produced, and was once called the "Horse of the Prairie." This Marklin model is about half a century old, but the paint condition is good, and I personally think it's in "very good" condition. The body has been cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner, so most dirt, such as oil stains, has been removed. As a vintage item, the condition of the product is listed as "has some scratches and dirt." The drive system has been disassembled and overhauled, and while preserving the original condition as much as possible, only the necessary parts have been replaced. Repeated test runs have been conducted on a test stand and oval course, and the running condition is quite good. Also, the reversing gear responds well and switches smoothly. The headlights have been replaced with bulbs and illuminate brightly. The taillight is a dummy specification. Since it has been maintained, it is a model that can still be enjoyed, but please understand that it is a vintage item and is sold as-is, non-returnable. There is no original box. As this is a valuable item, it will be carefully packaged, and shipping costs will be covered by us, with anonymous shipping.
