This loco came to me as a box of bits. Somewhere along the line it had been altered to allow catenary use only, pick ups, power switch etc had all been removed. Pantographs were beyond hope but I had a couple of reasonably tidy ones in my box of bits. It took a while to get it running.

Anyway, can anyone help me identify which version of 3015 it is? The pantographs may be incorrect, they are what I had available.

One one side it has "Marklin" with the Marklin logo beneath it
On the other side it has '3015' and the logo beneath it.


When running it sounds like a washing machine full of Lego so it must be a real 3015!

Hi Michael,
Kolls says the "3015" was added starting ~mid-1959. The color 1959-64 was blue green for Kolls "3015.10" and 1965-75 was fir green for "3015-11". I'm no expert on the color shades, but I hope this helps.
Brian
