his fine example was restored over the years. The housing was reinforced and retrofitted in the rear with a metal piece and replacement hook for the tender. Two areas were repaired at the front of the loco for the handrails to stay in place. The tender is all-original and un-restored retaining the Marklin stamps to rear and underside. Loco housing paint appears to be non-original or was significantly altered or touched-up near the cab and loco front. The loco was tested and does not run, but all internal components are present. Wheels turn and mesh with gears and armature, thus the issue is likely electrical. Overall a very interesting piece, wonderful for display, or with some effort a candidate for the layout.
