Yes, I think I might have seen them before but it was getting hard to differentiate what could have been my imagination vs reality, thank you for the link.

Märklin used to order boxes from printing shops on a regular basis, but one day they received a shipment and noticed the error mentioned above. Nevertheless, they just put the locomotives inside and delivered them to shops regardless because demand for the 3053 TEE locomotive was so high in the second half of the 1960s that there was no time to order new boxes. Best regards, Mark
		Best regards, Mark I like Märklin items produced in the 1960s or early '70s, but also digital locos & current rolling stock.
