My Grandpa's Marklin layout

[wdwfreak]

Hey there guys, i am brand new to model railroading.

My grandpa has always had this great little setup of trains down in his basement. i had never done anything with it until today. I just wanted to show off a little bit and also ask, can you guys help me determine how old the locomotives he has are? Everything here is Marklin, i took pictures of the boxes i found. I also took some shots of the trains themselves, those are mostly to show off a bit. oh and a quick iphone video i took of the two trains passing by. I hope you enjoy and i hope you can help me figure out how old they are! (I am sorry the pictures are a bit out of focus, i brought the wrong camera, meant to bring my D300 and brought my D60, next time i am over there i'll get some better pics)

Here are the boxes for the Burlington Northern.

The Santa Fe. While it is a two locomotive set i could only find one of the boxes.

Here are the two Burlington Northern.

The two Santa Fe.

Here they are side by side

Thanks for looking,

That's some cool equipment. I don't know anything about Marklin but I'll hazard a guess at the 70s or 80s, just by the look of the box.
