One-time series for the anniversary "200 Years of the Kingdom of Bavaria". 2005

Prototype information:
Before you call up the national government in Berlin: The Kingdom of Bavaria is history. The magical anniversary number refers to the date of the crowning, when the Bavarian Prince Elector, with the favor of Napoleon, styled himself in 1805 as King Maximilian Joseph I. The cultural flowering then began under King Ludwig I, who was succeeded by Maximilian II, and the Fairy Tale King Ludwig II. What makes this history so interesting for us are the Royal Bavarian State Railways, which we have to thank for some of the most beautiful prototypes around. We are celebrating the anniversary with a one-time series of the articulated Mallet locomotive, the class Gt 2x4/4.

Visual inspection indicates this model was probably only test run or hardly ever been used on the track layout, please see the pick-up shoe and (gear) wheels. In mint condition Like New.

Like New in box!! This item is from a prolific model train collectors estate, he only collected and never ran or used his items. Many of the boxes/packages in this collection were still factory sealed when we took photographs. These are dust free, and pristine, no signs of use or wear... Boxes may or may not have some very slight shelf wear, old price stickers. As with ALL locomotives we suggest checking the grease/lubrication, as over time it will solidify or turn to jelly and cause the locomotive to not run. For older items, even if they are new and never run,  we always recommended this before use!”

Please ask any questions before bidding / purchase and we will do our best to get you an answer.
