I consider it an early railbus, but it might have only been used to run tests. The date of production will vary depending which one you have. According to this site, it was produced in 1982, likely with a three pole motor. https://www.lokmuseum.de...te=&SID=645659497658 According to Marklin, it was undated and offered with a five pole motor in 2010 until 2013. https://www.maerklin.de/...ts/details/article/88761 Check out the prototype information on this site. This used a BMW airplane motor! I hope the propeller works on yours. Just seems this feature really makes this one interesting. Take good care. Happy New Year!

However long length and fixed axles mean it does not take points well(slight jolt)and very ocassionally derails at low speed . There is also some slowing on a slight incline (un intentional ) that I have on the circuit - only one driven axle.. Overall ,the appearance more than makes up for this,when it is ripping up the track!
