Märklin Gauge 1 Electric Loco 5516 Deutsche Reichsbahn in original box
Detailed model of the three-part freight train locomotive by Märklin for Gauge 1 (item number 5516). The heavy model impresses with its brown color scheme with a grey roof, fine roof pantographs, and the characteristic spoked wheels. The locomotive in its original packaging including the outer carton, which show signs of storage wear. This is a played-with model with age-appropriate signs of use. Electronics respond (lights on, motor hums), but the drive mechanism is stuck due to storage (hardened grease). Maintenance and cleaning strictly required. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be completely ruled out. The displayed track section is for presentation purposes only.
This impressive articulated locomotive is modeled after the historic class E 91 (Bavarian EG 5). The model in 1:32 scale impresses with its massive construction, high pulling power, and intricate level of detail, making it a highly sought-after piece for enthusiasts of the premier gauge.
