Hi guys,
I recently purchased the beautiful Marklin 54563 (K.Bay.Sts.B.) class 3/6, 75th anniversary of Rheingold. It’s the blue and beige paint scheme.
Unfortunately the model did not come with paperwork, and couple of the parts are broken. Also I cannot get it to run.
I was hoping if any one on this forum has the papers, could you please share them with me? I need the parts list, so I can order from eBay or Marklin. Also instructions on running it would help as well. I have a CS3 plus as well as the 6021.
I usually run HO, this loco is my first Gauge 1.

Thank you!

I tried to search for the entry using archive.org. So far without result.
The problem is that this model came out shortly before Maerklin's bankruptcy and change.
The current website does not provide much info for models prior to that period unless they remained in the catalog offerings post takeover.

I did manage to find the spare parts list for the Class 18 Steam engine (54561/54564):

and was able to find the manual for the 54564:

I can't guarantee that all details will be exactly the same, but the model is the same locomotive type.

Regards

Manuals for 54561 and 54564

The first file also covers 54562 and 54563 (apparently - the person who had the manual that this scan was made from has written 62 and 63 on the front cover).

I just finished a conversion on one of these, it runs great and sounds much better!

I hope this video uploads!

Once again thank you all for helping! Appreciate it very much! I’m new to Gauge 1, and mostly model HO. Even though this will be a display model, I’d like to see it fixed and in playable condition.

Cheers!
