Joined: 03/04/2007(UTC) Posts: 1,605		Hi collector friends, I have been working on some 700/800 series (mostly pre-war) locos to get them running again. Amazingly some ran right out of the box after clearly being in storage for many years. I made some videos and would appreciate any feedback you have: I experimented with some music and quick transitions. I only have an oval setup at the moment so there are limit angles and such but thought I would give it a try. I also created a Pinterest board to track what are in my opinion some of the best vintage Marklin videos out there: https://www.pinterest.co...top/best-marklin-videos/ Best wishes, Paul

Joined: 03/04/2007(UTC) Posts: 1,605		Hi Rich Thanks for your kind words. The SK 800 is an immediate post-war piece but uses pre-war parts since it was produced in 1945. Here's a photo: You can see it has 7-splints and this version of the shell was pre-war but was also used up to and including the year 1945. In 1946 there are then 6-splints. Bruniert "burnished" housings exist in both 1945 and 1946...some in early 1947 to varying degrees as well. In 1945 and 1946 both pre-war and post-war (new production) parts were used but by 1946 they likely ran out of pre-war parts and starting making SK 800 exclusively with newly produced parts. Best, Paul
