The Z-gauge König Ludwig II court train carriage expansion set, catalogue number 8769, is a limited edition from 1992 made with brass parts and includes its original certificate and documentation.
Description from the seller
Offered here is the special, exclusive supplementary carriage set for the historic court train of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
This special set was released in 1992 in a one-off, limited edition. The carriages were manufactured in collaboration with RailEx and are distinguished by their unusual choice of materials and refined finish.
The carriages are made from brass components, using a combination of precision casting, fine brass etching and largely hand-finished detailing.
The refined details, distinctive blue livery and royal appearance make this set very special
The König-Ludwig train originally consisted of three standard carriages and could be expanded with additional carriages, depending on its intended use.
This extension set allows various configurations of the royal train to be assembled. Given the weight of the individual carriages, a single locomotive, the 8870, would pull a maximum of five carriages from sets 8770 and 8769.
The set is inspired by the historic court train of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, the legendary monarch known, among other things, for the fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle.
The set comes with the original Märklin certificate, dated July 1992, as well as the original documentation.
The certificate describes the special manufacture of the carriages and confirms that this supplementary set was produced in a one-off, limited edition.
The set comes from a private Märklin collection.
The carriages are new and unused, and were taken out of their original packaging solely to take photographs. They have never been run on a model railway.
