Märklin 26730

This was a limited export train set for Switzerland in 1998, 25 years anniversary for "Märklin Vertriebs AG".  I bought this in Oslo in 1999.


All the units in this set are slightly weathered.  I like this set a lot.

This locomotive is listed as Märklin 3756 version 4 (28730 = 3356 version 4). L= 23 cm.
It had a c90 digital decoder.  For better functionality I have upgraded it it with an mfx decoder and Swiss light change including one rear red light.
