Hi,
Here is a rather odd sk800, it seems a mixture of old and new. Still very nice but what do others think?

I think it is repaint or original date 1939-1940.

Do the smaller "SK800" and "Märklin" signs indicate that it is from 1947, or even newer?

As far as I know, the oldest ones had much bigger text on the sides.

It has a slider pickup which denotes a later model or a hange by a restorer

Hi Geoff,

I'am sure it is a repaint. The condition of the chassis does not match the condition of the body.

But there are spare-part-version from the 1950s which look very similar. ZINKPEST is not a problem of the recent years. Very many green pre-war (1939-1942) SKs cracked up short after WWII. These engines where replaced by green post-war engines when sent in for repair to the factory.

Regards

Markus
