241 - Märklin 4 steam locomotives HR 800 class 01, T 800 and 81004, gauge H0

Märklin 4 steam locomotives HR 800 class 01, T 800 and 81004, gauge H0 Set of four steam locomotives, gauge H0, by Märklin. Included are the express tender locomotive HR 800 (class 01) with a four-axle tender, the tank locomotive T 800 as well as two locomotives with the designation 81004. Bodies and running gear of metal, black livery. The function has been tested: on both 81004 it is present; on HR 800 and T 800 the electrics respond (light illuminates, motor hums), however the drive is seized and gummed up due to the long period of standing. Played-with condition, with signs of ageing. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be entirely ruled out. The HR 800 belongs to Märklin's 800 series and reproduces the express locomotive of class 01 with tender; it was one of the more desirable models of this inexpensive range. Size H0 in the scale 1:87 has been the most widespread model railway gauge since the 1950s. The firm Gebrüder Märklin & Cie. in Göppingen has been among the most important manufacturers of model railways since 1859.
