I believe the seller does not know how rare this model is. https://www.ebay.com/itm...sid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Also some photos. It has been spotted as the price is north of US$500.

I have checked Ritter and he does not supply new boiler castings. Some the loco looks to be pretty good and there would be some good spare parts. Does anybody think that this could be salvaged. I know that the German restorer who's name escapes me can replace bits like deflectors and sides of drivers frame. I would be assuming that the boiler casting would be very fragile and likely break even more if cleaned or handled. Roger

The Fahrwerk (chassis) actually looks okay and it could be possible to get it running. All that is really valuable here is the cowcatcher - which can be put on a correct original loco in good condition. Most collectors do not care that it wasn't the "original" loco that cowcatcher was on as long as it is all original. Paul

Roger Wow indeed a expensive model. I did not know either. But ebay told me what's about with this loco. https://www.ebay.de/itm/...b3bae:g:ZJ4AAOSwpDdVDpU2 very special tender too https://www.lokmuseum.de...nder&Seite=&SID= If you are looking for a tender. Not cheap either. https://www.ebay.de/b/Marklin-Hr-700/bn_7005711368
