The 3077 was nasty and dirty from years of use and neglect. But now she is lean and clean and runs like a champ! Might be getting a second 3477 in a month or so that is new in the box as well.

Actually got over to the USA a lot quicker than some of the stuff I won on Ebay in the USA. Plus you might get it at a better price, the shipping really isn't that bad.

AFAIK the 3477 has a better interior...and the aluminum two blade prop looks better than the orange 4 blade prop [^] Both are prototypical! http://home.hetnet.nl/~s...mages/zeppelin_proto.jpg I am not sure about the benefit of the engine though, as to be read on https://www.marklin-user...ault.aspx?g=posts&t=5398

The reason they are so highly sought today is that they are the only Zeppelin that left the factory with a decoder. Most owners hang on to them as they are cool and don't need the slightly tricky conversion to go digital that a 3077 would. (not to mention the cool chrome paint)

Joined: 13/12/2006(UTC) Posts: 6 Location: ,		Thanks for all the info, and the welcome I actually have three of the 60th anniversary 3477's, which are Delta as far as I can tell, but I have never had room to set up a place to run them (I had this grand plan to model a future moon-based rail system, called LunaRail, and the rail zeppelins were utterly PERFECT for the idea, visually if not really). It's going to be hard to let go of them; I had planned on eBay, but this group, IMHO, warrants first shot at 'em. I'll post on the "for sale" section. I also have the 0230, M-track, and 0231, K-track, miniature model planning sets if anyone is interested in one or both of those. Thanks again!
