216 - Märklin gauge H0 steam locomotive HR 800 with tender, black, metal 1950s

Märklin gauge H0 steam locomotive HR 800 with tender, black, metal 1950s Steam locomotive HR 800 with tender, gauge H0, by Märklin in metal construction. Black livery with red spoked wheels and red running gear, embossed lettering 'HR 800' and 'MÄRKLIN' on the cab. Played-with condition with paint chips, partly overpainted. The electrics respond (light on, motor hums), however the drive is seized due to the long period of standing (gummed up). Servicing and cleaning are imperative. The track section shown serves only for presentation. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be entirely ruled out. The HR 800 belongs to the classic 800 series by Märklin from the 1950s, valued for its heavy metal construction. A sought-after collector's model of this era.
