Marklin ST 800 3-Unit Railcar. Made between.1949-1956. Blue/Cream
Marklin ST 800 3-Unit Railcar. Made between.1949-1956. Blue/Cream painted die-cast metal. The blue is one of the rarest colors. The red is the most often seen of these models. I tested this unit out on my test track, and it ran, reversed and the engine lights, as well as the car lights worked. The paint is original with a little darker blue "Swoop" added to the cab front. I didn't even notice it at first. The front bumper may have been touched up, I'm not totally sure. I added close ups for the buyer to judge. I would say it's in a solid VG condition with a few paint chips on the front bumper and a few more here and there. It's hard to find a set in original paint in this good a shape. Many have been repainted, so be careful. This set can be run as a diesel, or electric with the pantograph installed. The original type 5 pantographs came with the set in the little manila envelope. I did not install them, but it's a really simple operation. Of course, with the panto's installed, it can get current from the track or catenary. I have prices this set hundreds of dollars below lesser units that are for sale. I am not accepting returns because of the return scams that plague Ebay. However, if there is some material defect, please let me know and I will do my best to make things right. I do not have the box.
