The pictures are part of the item description. This freight wagon is a custom-made model and not mass-produced. This is a private sale" p. s. I got whacking great alarm by clicking on the pictures the above posted pictures by Ivan and had to reboot...sorry, but, be careful p. p. s. If they are custom jobs, they look reasonably good; they are not catalog items...

The 1939 catalog shows some wagons (382K) with similar wagon sides and axle/leaf spring details, but rounded roofs. Without seeing the wagons' ends, is it possible someone cut them down and fabricated flat roofs, and then made custom paint jobs? It'd be a lot of work, but then isn't that one part of our hobby??

If they are custom jobs, they look reasonably good; they are not catalog items... The Nuremberg-based company Schweiger produced four variants of these sets based on set 0050 (repainting of the locomotive and carriages approved by Märklin), each in a run of presumably 200 pieces. One of these sets is based on the passenger train set; in this version, the locomotive was painted green, the colors of the English railway company LNER, and the passenger carriages were painted red.

So, it is set 0050 repainted but I have never seen full sets, and let alone all 4 repainted sets (only 200 were made).

It does not seem to cover the rolling stock as much as the loks but I drop it here at least for reference... https://www.marklin-users.net/fo...e-and-Information-Thread
