This really nice 3-rail AC HO gauge loco by Marklin is 34561 a DR E60 electric locomotive in green livery, it has running number E60 09

The class E 60 electric locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (since 1968: DB class 160) were designed as electric shunting locomotives and were in scheduled service from 1927 to 1983. AEG delivered E 60 01 and 02 in 1927, followed by five more machines in 1928 and a third series of seven locomotives in 1934. The locomotives were stationed at the depots in Munich Hbf , Rosenheim and Garmisch . In the course of time, however, the E 60 were used at all major electrified stations in Bavaria, and from 1938 also in Austria. At the end of the war there were seven locomotives in Austria, but these were returned in 1945 and 1946.

In 1976, the Deutsche Bundesbahn removed the class 160 from its maintenance stock, in 1977 the first two machines were retired, in 1980 only three locomotives were still in service: road number 160 003 in Freilassing and road numbers 160 009 and 012 in Heidelberg. On August 31, 1983, road number 160 012, the last locomotive of the 160 series, was retired due to a lack of spare parts after a broken rod (the train driver had activated the direction switch while driving).

Three remain in preservation.

The loco is in good condition as you can see in the pictures, We are unable to test it as we do not have a three rail AC test rig or track, so we have not tested it but can see no reason why it would not run. It is sold in untested condition, this means that it may not run, and as such it is not being sold in running condition. However a complete external visual inspection has shown no reason why this loco would not run and the overall condition is very good. The box is in good if slightly shelf worn condition, the plastic box liner is becoming a bit brittle as is common with Marklin locos of this period. A bag of spares is included with the loco. 

Overall this is a really nice scale locomotive and would look fantastic on a layout.

Do please have a look at my other listings, I typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items. 

Note: I do recommend all locos are cleaned & serviced, as they have some age to them even if the quality looks at the highest level (fairly standard advice for all locos!).
