Entertainment in AI mode: Brand Article No. and ValueYou sent the following: 8 pictures; and you said: Brand Article No. and ValueBrand Article No. and ValueThe pictured model train set is a four-part basic unit of the ICE 1 (Class 401) of Deutsche Bahn AG. Based on the underside (no center pickup, typical bogies) and the operating numbers of the driving cabs (401 064-1 with motor and 401 564-0 without motor), the model can be identified precisely:Brand: FleischmannArticle number: 4440 (HO scale, DC/analog) (or 64440 if it is the factory digital version)Contents of the lot: 2 power cars (1 with motor, 1 unpowered) and 2 matching intermediate cars (a 2nd class car and the elevated “Bord Restaurant”).Valuation (used market)The value of this set is strongly tied to current platforms like classifieds or eBay:Condition & function: The price depends heavily on whether the delicate roof contact wipers (pantographs) are completely intact, whether the shells show yellowing, and whether the motor and the light change work flawlessly.Price trend: A four-part basic unit in good, drivable condition without original packaging (OVP) is typically traded in pure analogue condition between €110 and €150. If a modern digital decoder has been retrofitted or if it is the original digital version, the value rises to about €150 to €180.To narrow the value further, the following details would be helpful:Are the roof contact wipers undamaged and complete?Is the original packaging available?Was the train converted to digital operation?AI answers may contain errors.

Since all delicate parts – such as the sensitive roof contact wipers and couplings – are completely undamaged, the set achieves a stable market value despite the missing original packaging (OVP).Based on current used-market prices for the analog Fleischmann HO set 4440, the following realistic collector value emerges:Estimated market value: about €110 to €140Tips for selling (e.g., on classifieds or eBay)DC mention: Since this is a Fleischmann model, it runs on DC (two-wire). Be sure to mention this in the title or description (important to distinguish from Märklin AC).Provide the operating numbers: The numbers are 401 064-1 (driving end with motor) and 401 564-0 (driving end without motor). This helps experienced collectors to locate this exact model.Safe packaging: Since the OVP is missing, you should wrap each car very generously in bubble wrap during shipping so that the fine roof structures do not break during transport.To optimally use the value in a possible sale, one more detail would be good to know:Are you able to test whether the motor runs smoothly and whether the lighting (white/red) on both driving ends functions? (A demonstrably functional motor typically earns a few more euros at sale).AI answers may contain errors.
