Hi, this set is a replica set made by RITTER, see here Wolf Hi Wolf, Would it be correct to say that these are original models by Marklin which have been repainted by Ritter in these colours? Ritter themselves say that Marklin never made these in these colours, and that they are painted by themselves. I guess they didn't actually build the loco and coaches themselves as replicas, only restored and repainted Marklin models, right?

Careful guys- nowhere does the seller say the train is original, just the box. He also does not say it an extremely rare collectors item anywhere in the auction. I can see how a loose translation could mix this up, but in Italian his description is black and white. (and answers all the questions a potential buyer would have about a known-to-be-repainted- set) I think it is fairly represented. Yes it could be flagged as a repaint, but one would think that anyone about to spend 1200 euros would know what they are dealing with. Cool set though!

SK 800 (from 1946-1947) as well as coaches 351, 352, 353 and 354 were re-painted by RITTER. As far as I remember the "Ritter price" was much higher than 1200 € ! Wolf

But RITTER doesn't use all original Marklin parts on these recreations. I would say the SK 800 on their site repainted in RHEINGOLD colors is about 90% replica parts either made by RITTER or other "vendors" that RITTER buys from. The wagons, much cheaper, could be originals, but again replica parts are used like the trucks, etc. Best, Paul

Everyone loves good pictures and you know folks sell items for good money that spend a little more up front to show what they are selling with defects and all. Some ads are just too iffy otherwise.
