Märklin H0: 37539 Electric Locomotive Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 120.1 general-purpose
locomotive. Regular production version. The Three-Phase Pioneer. The class 120 marked the technological breakthrough to three-phase current propulsion systems. This principle carried with it the promise of compact, largely non-wearing motors without commutators, wear rings, brushes, and mechanical contacts. Because a broad range of torque and speed could be mastered with three-phase current technology, the performance specifications for this new development were formulated rather like a long wish list. The class 120 was intended to pull 200 km/h / 125 mph fast InterCity trains and 5,400 metric ton freight trains, and was also to be equipped with push/pull controls and electric regenerative brakes. In 1977, the DB ordered five experimental units that were exhaustively probed on test stands, during test runs, and in operational use. Startup, tractive effort, acceleration, running characteristics, braking performance, power requirements, and stability under a load were part of the program. Comparison tests with other makes of locomotives as well as start-up tests on the Lötschberg and Semmering grades confirmed the performance capabilities of the technology. The speed record was 265 km/h / 166 mph. New developments flowed in during the experimental phases such as microprocessors for faster control and monitoring. Components were improved again and again until all five units were brought to the same technical level in 1982 and were pronounced ready for regular production. During the development phase of several years the procurement policy changed. Instead of all-round locomotives, special locomotives were again preferred on the basis of common development platforms with many parts identical in construction. Only a first production run of 60 units of the class 120 was purchased. The prototypes continue to be used for test purposes, and the regular production locomotives prove themselves in daily operation. Price: $339.00

Märklin H0: 39410 Electric Locomotive Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class E 41. B-B wheel arrangement.
Locomotive as it looked in Era III with 5 lamps, rounded cooling grills
with vertical fins and a continuous rain gutter. Class E 41 The Firecracker of the German Federal Railroad. In
1950, the German Federal Railroad decided to go ahead with the urgent
modernization of its motive power with the purchase of electric locomotives
with predominantly standardized components and contracted with all of
the important locomotive builders to come up with appropriate suggestions.
The goal was a locomotive for freight service in order to relieve the
E 94 and a general-purpose locomotive such as was known with the well
proven E 44. Another requirement to the builders concerned the engineer's
cabs: For the first time the engineer was to do his work seated, which
meant an immense improvement for engineers. The result of this request
for bids was five experimental locomotives for the class E 10.0. However,
exhaustive tests soon revealed that two prototypes would not be suitable
for the expected tasks. Officials at the German Federal Railroad therefore
decided to have Siemens/Krauss Maffei develop an express locomotive
and a freight locomotive, the classes E10 and E 40, AEG/Krupp to develop
a heavy freight locomotive, the class E 50, and BBC/Henschel to develop
a commuter locomotive, the class E 41. A total of 451 class E 41 locomotives
were purchased between 1956 and 1971. For several decades they left
their stamp on more than just the commuter service from the Bavarian
Alps to the German coast. This successful design can be considered as
a general-purpose locomotive, since it was used as motive power for
practically every kind of train service during its long service life.
It did not last long in the rigorous S-Bahn service, because it did
not have electric brakes required for it. Its traditional task remained
commuter service, in particular in push/pull operation with "Silberlinge
/ Silver Coins" commuter cars. Due to the required low axle load
distributed over 2 two-axle trucks, the E 41 could be used with no problem
on electrified branch lines. The 4 traction motors on the locomotive
represented a further development of the ET 30, and the Siemens-Schuckert
Plant / SSW was responsible for the drive gear. They equipped the E
41 like the other standard design locomotives with a rubber ring drive
gear system. The oil-cooled transformer was equipped with a relay layout
on the low voltage side, which was the source of a characteristic noise
on the class E 41. This locomotive soon picked up its nicknames "Champagne
Cork" or "Firecracker" on the German Federal Railroad.
More than a few railroad passengers, upon hearing this sound, thought
the locomotive was damaged and were more or less irritated about it.
The maximum speed for this 15.62 meter / 51 foot 3 inch long locomotive
was 120 km/h / 75 mph. When the German Federal Railroad raised the maximum
speed for express trains at the end off the Fifties to 140 km/h / 88
mph, E 41 locomotives coming after that were only painted in green,
since the elegant blue was reserved only for fast locomotives in long
distance service. During its entire service life, the class E 41, from
1968 on the "141", had double-arm pantographs. Otherwise,
it changed externally as the result of rebuilding and ran in Germany
from the Alps to the North with three or five lights at each end, with
or without rain gutters, with rounded or square cooling vents and in
the color schemes that changed over time. The train safety systems were
also adapted along the way and the "firecracker" was considered
a proven, reliable design right up to the end of its service. At the
start of the Nineties, the class 141 was being increasingly replaced
by the class 143, and its roster decreased more due to the switch to
powered rail cars for commuter service. The official farewell to the
class 141 took place in February of 2006 in Braunschweig, but the last
operating district for several locomotives was Frankfurt/Main, where
they did not leave active service on the German Railroad, Inc. until
the end of 2006. Several of these popular locomotives have remained
preserved and you can still hear the "Firecracker" of the
German Federal Railroad at least on museum runs. Price: $329.00
Märklin H0: 39411 Electric Locomotive Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 141. B-B wheel arrangement.

and without a continuous rain gutter. Class E 41 The Firecracker of the German Federal Railroad. In

Märklin H0: 39836 Electric Locomotive Prototype: Fast multiple-system electric locomotive for cross-border
passenger and freight service. Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB)
class 1216. The Class 1216 Third Generation Alpine Bull. In the wake of the new political order in Europe, the transportation routes once again are going straight through the Alpine republic of Austria into the center of the continent. The Austrian Federal Railways could not and have not wanted to miss this connection and have prescribed themselves and their motive power roster a radical rejuvenating cure. In addition to a new design for the infrastructure, at present one of the largest and architecturally most spectacular train stations in Europe is being built, the locomotives and rolling stock have either been upgraded or newly purchased. The best known and most beautiful new development in terms of its shape is the "Taurus" locomotive family built by Siemens, the classes 1016, 1116, and 1216. The rollout of the 3rd generation of the class 1216 Alpine Bull took place on March 31, 2005 at the Siemens plant in Munich. A total of 50 locomotives were ordered by the ÖBB and are to be used mainly in cross-border passenger and freight service. This four-system, three-phase current, general-purpose locomotive was derived largely from the Siemens ES 64 U4, designated on the German Railroad, Inc. as the class 189. Externally, the Taurus family genes are very much handed down. In terms of design, there have been several changes however such as four doors, a fairing for the costly roof equipment, LED lighting, and the upper front light now placed under the windshield. This four-motor locomotive is something over 19 meters / 62 feet 4-1/6 inches long, reaches a maximum speed of 230 km/h / 144 mph and has an axle load of 21.8 metric tons. Even before its time as the ÖBB bull, road no. 1216 050 broke the world record for conventional locomotives set by the SNCF's road no. BB 9004 in 1955 at 331 km/h / 207 mph. This was done on September 2, 2006 on the Nürnberg-Ingolstadt new construction route between Kinding and Allersberg. Road no. 1216 050 ran, without extensive preparation to the track, catenary, or the locomotive, at a speed of 344 km/h / 215 mph and even reached 357 km/h / 223 mph during a second test run. At the end of 2007 it was transferred like the other 49 class 1216 locomotives to the ÖBB and it will serve primarily in runs from Austria to Slovenia and Italy. The 1216 will come to Germany and Hungary as part of the new ÖBB product "Railjet" and will link Vienna with Munich and Budapest on a regular schedule. The fast, powerful bulls of the 3rd generation cut a good figure in the immense, futuristic halls of the new Vienna Main Station and out on the line. Price: $375.00
