Joined: 22/09/2009(UTC) Posts: 2,073 Location: Edinburgh,		Hi all I have managed to finally purchase a 7051 from ebay.de. It arrived on Wednesday and after some sorting of plugs and a reference to Chris Vella's post on what wires go where, I was able to get the thing to work fully. However I am now trying to date it and not having much luck. I cannot find any date on the box at all. The box itself is yellow in colour. Maybe some one will be able to tell me from that how old it might be. According to Koll the crane can be anything from 1956 - 1978. I was hoping to narrow it a bit further than that. Oh on ebay at the same time as mine was one with a grabber. I can't seem to see any mention of one of those at all. It went for around £160 Can anyone tell me more about that one as well please.

You have been a member since:: 08/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 2,218 Location: Shady Shores, TX - USA		The fabric covered wires for the magnet would suggest 50's to early 60's, I don't know exactly when they changed to plastic coated wires. Nice find

However the inner flaps on this box appear well stuck down and I don't want to ruin the box by forcing them up to look for a date. Bigdaddy - that would be why I couldn't find any reference in M catalogs then.

Very early childhood memory for me. I spent hours loading all sorts of metal screws, nails, and steel washers into my Marklin gondola cars. Hours of fun. Damn, Marklin makes great stuff that is classic forever.

On the inner narrow flap of the upper part of the box (it's not glued, just carefully lift the flap away from the reinforced cardboard top ...) it is marked : 69 751 TM 05 66 sw ... means the date is : May 1966 Nifty eBay guide here on dating Märklin Trains : Dating Marklin Trains Hope it helps, Yum

Google gives no clues to what or who Wiad is. I have seen the dutch one advertised before with a joy stick. I'm sure the joystick is none M* as well as the grabber.
