used on the German Railroad, Inc. (DB AG). The VTG Köf. In the Nineties, Vereinigte Tanklager und Transportmittel GmbH / United Tank Farm and Transport Services, Inc. acquired three class 323 small locomotives that had been retired from the DB. The successor firm VTG Lehnkering sold two locomotives in 1998 and 2000 and bought a Köf again in 2002 that had already been used by a toy manufacturer in industrial work after its service on the DB. The present VTG, Inc. uses the two remaining locomotives at the Syke-Barrien car plant (near Bremen).

Märklin H0: 37849 Steam Locomotive with a Tender
Prototype: German State Railroad Company (DRG) class 50. Version with
a box-style tender and Wagner smoke deflectors. When "Heinrich" / "Henry" was still smaller ... Coal is a bulk freight that has traditionally been conveyed by rail. In the Thirties it was domestic coal that had to be transported from the coalfields in Germany. To the extent that the areas of demand were not on the major main lines, the axle loads for transport on branch lines were limited. For that reason small, short freight cars were used for a long time similar to in England that spread the load over many axles. This meant that the black gold could be brought with trans-loading from the sidings for the coal mine to the industrial siding at the boiler house or to the siding for the fuel dealer. Typical for these cars were the car types "Schwerin" and "Nürnberg" with a load limit each of 15 metric tons. Around 40,000 of these cars were available for use on the DRG around 1930. The locomotives had to fulfill corresponding requirements for this work: powerful motive power with a low axle load. This was exactly the design of the class 50 as a lightweight freight locomotive. With an axle load of 15 metric tons and 5 powered axles, this locomotive reached a starting tractive effort of around 16 metric tons (160 kilonewtons). On flat terrain it could confidently master a typical heavy coal train with 30 cars and 700 metric tons. The track network had to be expanded first before the "Lange Heinrich" / "Long Henry" could grow to its full size: load capacity, block length, and safety equipment were not sufficient for a 4,000 metric ton train until the DB era. The coal cars from the 46045 set make up an appropriate train for the former German State Railroad class 50. Price: $471.00
Märklin H0: 37903 Diesel Locomotive

Märklin H0: 46045 Set with 10 Gondolas
Prototype: German State Railroad Company (DRG) type O 11 short, high
side gondola. Association design, "Nürnberg" type. Succinct. The "Schwerin" and "Nürnberg" gondolas were built in large numbers starting about 1910 for the State Railroad Freight Car Association and then later for the German State Railroad. The superstructure built of steel and the short chassis made these cars very sturdy and allowed a full load even with heavy bulk freight. Many of these cars with an almost toy-like look were acquired by the German Federal Railroad after 1945. DC wheel set 20 x 700580.

Märklin 1: 55441 Steam Locomotive with a Tender
Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 044 heavy freight locomotive.
Version with open front skirting and Witte smoke deflectors. The class 44 with its five driving axles is one of Europe's most powerful steam locomotives, and is rightly considered to be the symbol of the standard design freight locomotive. The mighty exhaust from the three cylinder running gear fascinated several generations of railroad enthusiasts, who nicknamed the 44 "Jumbo". The class 44 was built over a period of at least 23 years at production facilities in Germany and countries occupied during the war. It started in 1926 with 10 prototypes. Initially, they had to take a backseat to the class 43 two-cylinder 2-10-0 units. The locomotive committee was under the mistaken notion that they didnt need the somewhat more maintenance-intensive locomotive with the additional cylinder. As train loads and speeds grew, the time had come for the well-designed class 44, which was fast and smooth-running for its time. Scheduled delivery of the class 44 ended in 1944. The plant at Hennigsdorf built ten additional units in 1949 from existing parts. A total of 1,989 locomotives were built and they differ in numerous details, which should not be surprising, given the long production period. After the war both German state railroads modernized a portion of their motive power pool. In the west the class 44 was in service until the end of the steam locomotive era, 1977. In East Germany the end came late in 1981. Price: please call or email
Märklin 1: 58358 Set with 5 Hopper Cars for "Lange Heinrich" / "Long Henry"
Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) type Fad 168 high-capacity
hopper car. Used for unit trains in mass freight service with coal,
coke, and ore. One-time series. "Lange Heinrich" / "Long Henry". Embedded in the Northwest German plains area is the Emsland area, a region rich in bodies of water and moors. At the start of the Seventies until the end of steam locomotive operation on the DB in October of 1977, it became the Mecca for railroad enthusiasts from all over the world. The last steam giants on the German Federal Railroad ran with passenger trains to Norddeich Mole, and heavy freight trains were in operation between Emden and the large industrial centers on the Rhine and Ruhr. The star on the Emsland line was the "Lange Heinrich" / "Long Henry", a 4,000 metric ton ore train between the Emden switch yard and Rheine, always with two of the last great freight locomotives from the classes 042, 043, and 044 as motive power. The high-capacity hopper cars were loaded with imported raw material in Emden's outer harbor and were hauled by steam and diesel locomotives to the switch yard and there were assembled into long unit trains of 2,000 and 4,000 metric tons. The power output of one of the powerful locomotives was just enough to bring the load for the 2,000 metric ton trains over the lightly ascending line onto the mostly flat 140 km / 88 mile route to Rheine. The "Lange Heinrich" trains were twice as heavy and required the use of two locomotives, which got underway after a furious start, often with slipping wheels. The trains usually had oil-fired class 043 locomotives from the Emden and Rheine Districts as motive power. The classes 042 and 043 were often used in combination, occasionally two of the class 042, and quite rarely the last of the coal-fired class 044 helped along with the other two classes. The classes 042 and 043 had been equipped for oil firing during an overhaul and had entered the motive power roster at Rheine in 1967. There were many locations along the route for taking impressive train photographs. A favorite among knowledgeable photographers was a bridge at Aschendorf, south of Papenburg. The trains could be photographed in almost their entire length on a curve leading to the right. Even more ideal and probably the best place in the Ems area was south of Lathen. There, the route ran between two sand dunes in a curve to the left and offered an unobstructed view of a complete 4,000 metric ton train under the best lighting conditions. A requirement was of course good weather, exact knowledge of the schedule for the trains, and being there early in the morning, when the sun was still low on the horizon. Long before the train entered this section of the route, a distant column of smoke and the unmistakable rhythm of the exhaust announced its approach. The waiting was then rewarded with an unforgettable view of the entire consist from the front of the locomotive to the end of the train consisting of fifty cars. (From notes by Horst J. Obermayer).
