This compact0-4-0 switcher has the kind of tough, no-nonsense presence that makes small Lionel military and industrial locomotives so collectible. They feel practical. They feel hardworking. They feel like locomotives that actually had jobs to do.
MARKLIN 3003 HO H0 Class 24 Steam Locomotive “Steppenpferd” Comes from an estate in the neighborhood. The owner passed away and his spouse asked us to help with liquidation of the Marklin collection. The gentleman did not have a layout, so this locomotive wasn’t run in a long time. It was part of a “shelf collection”. According to the date on the original box it was sold/produced in 1965. We confirmed that it’s working like on day one. It runs great, changes direction without problem, and has working lights. It also still has the original manual. Please refer to the photos for an objective visual description and ask questions before purchasing (if needed).
This ready-to-go/pre-built locomotive is a classic addition to any train collection. Almost new in box.
Good luck to all. We have taken pics of all sides to show the item in it’s entirety.

This ready-to-go pre-built item includes a lighted number board, smoke unit, light function, and a pilot push-pull loop. Its production was briefly halted between 1961 and 1967. One of the most highly cherished collectible trains, the Marx 666 is the favorite of all collectors worldwide.

This ready-to-go pre-built piece is a replica of a Columbian locomotive, complete with a lighted number board, smoke unit, and Lionel kit-bashed tender. In oil conversions, the coal bunker was typically replaced with a large oil tank in the tender’s bunker area.
