100% - all original & complete - 1931 Marklin 1 Gauge
Propeller Zeppelin train locomotive made in Germany. (not a reproduction which go for around ,500.00 - 00.00) Here is what I can tell you about this "hard to find" piece to the best of my knowledge. Tested on 1 gauge track and runs very well. The propeller at the end does spin but not as smoothly as it should. I would guess that perhaps the original pulley might have stretched a bit over the 90 years but does spin enough. Perhaps an adjustment can be made. The propeller itself is in great shape with nothing repaired. 99% of these are usually broke. That is rare in itself. All lights work, all wheels are in fine shape. The body, for the most part, is in nice shape with light play wear. The nose of the unit shows the most wear which is common with these pieces. Nothing repainted or touched up which is the way a collector would want it to be. Measures 22 1/4 inches long. No box. That is all I can tell you about this fine rare piece. I urge you to ask questions if I left out something that might be important to you or something I missed. I will answer all concerns. The item will be shipped carefully due to the delicate nature of the item specifically to the propeller. It will be insured. Local pick up is an option.
Again, this is a rare piece especially if found totally intact, complete & running! A proud item to have in your collection regardless if you are a Marklin collector or not. Thanks for looking.
