Just in! Märklin 3502 (DRG BR53) - Borsig Mallet War Locomotive

I just received a Märklin 3502, a class 53 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. As usual with the new additions format, we’ll cover a bit of trivia around the model, a bit of history about the prototype to put it in context, we’ll then have a closer look, try and fix anything that requires attention and hopefully finish the video with a little run on the layout. Enjoy!
