S 873/1 Set S870 Torpedo Locomotive

The S873/1 set was produced for a very limited time in 1953. This set seen here has the production run on the box as follows: "YN 1253 j - S 873/1 - 100/5". This number is seen on the inside cover of the lid of the box, printed on the instruction sheet. This set normally would include 327/2 ROT (red) cars (2 per set) along with several pieces of curved track specially designed for the clockwork locomotive. The S870 locomotive was the first and only HO scale clockwork locomotive that Marklin produced. The original key is not often seen in sets available today, but was used to wind up the locomotive springs for running. These keys are hard to find in today's market.
Thanks,
W

The Marklin 456 Whistle tower was produced between 1949-1953 and only seen in one version. Its removable roof reveals a complex motor and pipe system which creates a whistle sound when run. There is an operating motor which blows air through a small hole to create this sound. Shown in the pictures is a mint example of this model in original box with original factor wrapping.

HR 66/12920 / 1943 J / 1941 / 1942 J

The HR 66/12920 was a wonderful locomotive that was certainly a prize under the Christmas tree for your small home in Germany. Complete with the 1941, 1942 J, and 1943 J cars, you were certainly going to have the nicest train set in the neighborhood. If you were lucky, you even had the interior sets with the tiny little seats for your precious passengers, and of course the accordion passenger walkways!

Well here for you I have at least pictures...(sorry no Christmas tree) of a set that a small child probably enjoyed playing with for many years. Although it's in such good condition, I bet it was never even used!
