Rare Märklin Z Ce 6/8 III Crocodile, in wooden box

Thank you for viewing.

Introducing the Märklin Mini Club Z Gauge 88564 Ce 6/8 III Krokodil 14305.
This is a limited edition rare model from the 2019 ONE-TIME series.
There are no issues with running or switching between forward and reverse, and I personally consider it to be in beautiful condition.
The lights are LED. Similar to the actual locomotive, three lights illuminate in the direction of travel, and only one taillight illuminates.
The pantograph selector is located inside the locomotive.
The high-quality paintwork and intricate lettering are, in my opinion, superb Märklin quality. Both bogies are driven, ensuring smooth running without hesitation.

The total length is 91mm.

The locomotive is housed in a high-quality wooden case.
Included accessories are a metal replica builder's plate*, a booklet explaining the history of the Crocodile, and a maintenance manual.

*A builder's plate (also known as a manufacturer's plate) is a nameplate typically found on locomotives, especially overseas. In Japanese, it is referred to as a manufacturing nameplate.
This plate is inscribed with:

SCHWEIZERISCHE LOKOMOTIV- & MASCHINENFABRIK
3076 WINTERTHUR 1925

This indicates that the Crocodile (serial number 3076) was manufactured in 1925 by SLM in Winterthur, Switzerland.

The box has minor scratches and scuffs.
Although this item has been run only a few times, due to the nature of the product and to prevent fraud, it is sold on a no-return, no-claim basis, assuming it has been previously handled.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped with shipping costs covered by the seller.
Please forgive me if it is sold out, as it is also listed elsewhere.

*English inquiries are also welcome. (If you have any question in english, please feel free to ask)
