I just looked in my mailbox and was happy to see that I received my Märklin Z 8891 steam engine with tender.

I bought it on Tradera (Swedish Ebay). I payed 437SEK. Which is 57$ / 37£ /46EUR / 46AUD / It came with the pre 1979 box and instructions.

Isnt that somewhat of a bargain ?

It runs quite well for beeing an old 3 pole engine. Check out my photos and movies.

The loco runs well on both small and bigger layouts. Here are some more photos from my bigger layout.
