I have no doubt the screw is not original but what about the fixed set up? It looks original or is mine missing something? Photos of yours appreciated. Thank you!

I have since changed mine to a close coupler fitting, as I wanted to reduce the distance between the tender and coupled wagon. (It is still fixed) Cheers, Brian.

Perhaps, I might be forgetting but I don't recall seeing any long or short Marklin wagon or locomotive -unless they have a hook- that have fixed couplers. Because this comes from a collector that had original but also tampered with trains I was doubtful to it's originality. No big deal but I wanted to know if it was right. Thanks!

That's even better, my photo doesn't show it well but I have the chromed screw that seems completely out of character with the loco, it should be black! That was another thing that made me doubt about originality. Thank you so much!
