⸻
History
These locomotives come from my father's personal collection, born in 1942.
They were given to him during his childhood, when he was about 8 to 12 years old, i.e., in the early 1950s.
These are post-war Märklin models, kept in the family for over 70 years.
They have never left the family circle.

Specifications
Iconic Märklin models with robust metal construction, typical of productions from the 1950s–1960s.
Estimated production:
• BR 89 ref. 3000: model introduced in 1953
• BR 89 ref. 3029: late 1950s

Complete wheel gear
Buffers present

Patina and signs of use normal for age

Operation
