This is a Marklin AC HO SK-800 German BR-06 Streamlined Steam Locomotive Gift Set (1959), a highly sought-after classic from Marklin’s post-war era. The SK-800 series is one of the most iconic early HO-scale locomotives the company produced, modeled after the rare German BR-06, a fully streamlined express locomotive designed for high-speed passenger service.

This set includes the locomotive and tender in AC (Alternating Current) configuration, Marklin’s traditional operating system. The SK-800 line is known for its heavy die-cast metal construction, excellent running characteristics, and collectible value among vintage Marklin enthusiasts.

The locomotive’s streamlined body replicates the elegant, aerodynamic profile of the BR-06, and the 1959 production year places it in one of the more desirable later SK-800 runs, known for refined detailing and durable build quality.
