Are you sure you don't mean 0e?
Yes you are right. An entry in a Marklin forum describes them as 0m but in the Marklin catalogue for 1970 they are described as " 0 scale narrow gauge railway - operates on H0 gauge track scale 1:45".
The loco is a model of a Wurttemberg railway company (WEG)0-6-0 tank and has outside Allen straight link valve gear which is unusual.
In the range there was also a Diesel loco some coaches and a few wagons, all rare nowadays.

Hornby OO 3 rail Silver King set, appears virtually unused. I reminded myself a hundred times over that I needed another project like a hole in the head, but then, I reasoned, two holes would make a matching set. For this new project, I plan to scramble up a small exhibition layout. I've always admired, nay, lusted, after Hornby 3 rail, and as this went for a song, I had to trade for it- a Bachmann 3 truck Shay, to be precise. British 3 rail is even more scarce than British 2 rail, Stateside.

I would say that British 3 rail is scarce as hen's teeth, but recent genetic research has determined that chickens indeed have teeth, but that they are unformed due to the genetic component being "switched off," presumptively as they became more domesticated and less like their dinosaur relative. "Chickasaurus." It's a thing, Google it, if you wish.
