Sort of like It would only (just) be worth that if it was Mint, OBX, mit Prüfsiegel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I can maybe see where he got his improved absolute bargain pricing....... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Marklin-hamo-echelle-ho-motrice-capitole-BB-9291-ref-8359/153317580503 There's only just the smallest difference, insignificant really - can you spot it? (you may have to look very carefully)

Poetic License is one thing, and we know our friends at LIMA are not really famed for their attention to detail or accuracy, but "loose interpretation" comes to mind here. From the LIMA catalogue 1979/80. Although I concede this catalogue IS the North American edition, so perhaps they thought it wouldn't be noticed?? I'm wondering if the person who put this set together even managed to keep a straight face? Such confusion, and who should be more embarrassed (or honoured)....., the French, or the Italians? But.... I just know there's going to be someone lurking who has a photograph showing that yes indeed, on some past date the legendary Express was indeed pulled by that Loco so I remain open to re-education if someone can confirm this could have been a real thing??
