Thanks Eddie So far as I remember now only a couple were issued in the 60's, those should be 3011, 3023 -right in front of me- and probably 3024 green version of the same.

As it had no box etc I need to know if I have to take off both front and rear trucks to take off the body and check to see everything is ok and replace both traction tyres. Thanks Ed

First remove the headlights. The screws for the body are in the middle on both ends of the locomotive. Regards Markus

On the next page he had more e44 shells with holes. they both have same running number.What gives here.Are the ones with hole Hamo and without Marklin or is this a plot to drive me mad, because its working. Eddie

I don't know exactly when Märklin removed the holes but it was around 1975. In these years the E44 was still in the PRIMEX-assortment (3008) and was also offered as kit - version (3911) to build a Märklin - Loco. The differences between the PRIMEX and Märklin-kit are small: The PRIMEX-loco has no RELEX-couplers, the newer type of panthos and is missing some paintings on the roof. Regards Markus
