Hello Marklin friends,

On eBay-US a rare piece. HR 700 A with cow catcher for American market. Have not seen an HR 700 A on eBay perhaps in a decade. A few in German eBay of questionable authenticity.

Really rare and nice piece! BigGrin but not sure about the 22k wish from the seller? Huh
The right people could restore, but I would leave most of it in the condition it is and get it running with original or replacement parts....
Thanks for sharing

If only it were that easy! Pretty much everything above the chassis is severely affected by zincpest. Besides the cowcatcher itself, I really can't see over $200 of value there.

Hi
Where does the 22K come from? I can't see it in the auction. He has left it to the free market to decide. I'm with Peter and $200 as there is not much left and more than likely all the cast component will be cracked or warped and fall to bits if you tried to restore with replacement parts. It would be worth the current bid of $900 if they have another spare which is better.
Regards

Exactly, here's a result for a past sale at Selzer Auktionhaus. I've put in an English translation for anyone who can't speak German.

Selzer HR700 A.JPG

Considering that a normal HR700 might sell for 1,400 Euros, that puts the value of a cowcatcher alone at something around 1,900 euros. The Mikado book has a table which I think gives a reasonable idea about how the value of a loco is affected by its condition:

Thanks for sharing the Selzer auction result. Although unfortunately I'm not certain that one is original. Typically when the Selzer descriptions say "you decide if it's original" it means they seriously doubt it to be original. To me the cowcatcher looks too pointy at the front. Either way I think that is the rough price for an original example. Many years ago I believe at Auktionshaus Loesch I believe one sold for 10.000 EUR.

Roger -- the $22K price reference is in the last phone a brochure for a Mini-Club train. I'm not sure it's referencing this same loco and could be an E 800 LMS perhaps.
