Märklin 3300 SBB Re 6/8 III and DB 194 anniversary locomotive set

Limited special model in in 1985 for Märklin's 125 years anniversary.  I got my set in 2005.
The two locomotives were used under  a Märklin jubilee tour to the Geislinger Steige in 1984.

A silver sign is printed at t the upper right corner of the box, Märklin 125 Jahre:

Not so easy to make a photo, as it is very shiny.

A plastic inner lid was removed for the photo purpose.
The locomotives were equipped with 3* motors and electronically controlled electro-mechanical reversing units.
Total length = 39,4 cm.

3300-1,SBB Ce 6/8 ^III 13 302

As far as I know, this was one of the first Swiss crocodiles from Märklin with metal body. L = 22,8 cm
The close couplers are installed by me.  I have converted it to digital with the Märklin mfx conversion set 60921.

The opposite locomotive side:

300-2, DB 194 155-8

L = 21 cm.  *The close couplers are installed by me.  I have converted it to digital with Märklin mfx conversion set 60924.

The locomotive's opposite side:

The roof over the front windows seems to be longer than on other Br 194 models.
