About this item
This is a classic, vintage H0 scale (1:87) electric shunting locomotive, Märklin catalog number 3001, from the German Federal Railway (Deutsche Bundesbahn, DB), designated as E63 02.
Key Features:
Model: Märklin 3001 Electric Shunting Locomotive, Class E63 02.
Era/Origin: Likely an early to mid-production version from the 1950s-1970s, as the box is marked "Made in Western Germany." This vintage detail is highly sought after by collectors.
Livery: Original red paint scheme.
Scale: H0 (Half-O, 1:87).
Power System: Designed for Märklin's traditional AC (Alternating Current) 3-rail system.
Construction: Robust construction typical of this era, featuring a metal frame and undercarriage with a plastic body. It has a single working pantograph on the roof and a detailed running gear with red wheel centres.
Condition: The locomotive appears to be in good, used vintage condition with original packaging. The locomotive itself shows typical signs of age/use. The original box is a significant bonus, featuring the classic turquoise and white design with an illustration of the locomotive, and includes the original inner packaging with the "MÄRKLIN geprüft" (Märklin checked) seal. The box itself is worn, consistent with its age.
Collector's Note: The Märklin 3001 is a highly recognizable and popular classic model, replicating the real-life German electric shunter. The presence of the original box, especially marked "Made in Western Germany," adds value for collectors.
