4 Steam Locomotives Weathered by Märklin

 

Märklin is producing a VERY limited quantity of 4 different hand weathered steam locomotives. The weathering was done by Märklin.

The locomotives are:

1. MärklinH0: 37839 Weathered Steam Locomotive Class 50.

ToToTrains Price: Please contact me.

Prototype: Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) class 50 freight locomotive. Version with a box-style tender and Wagner smoke deflectors.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder, controlled high-efficiency propulsion, a Telex coupler on the tender, and extensive sound functions. The motor is built into the locomotive boiler. 5 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive has an articulated frame to enable the unit to negotiate sharp curves. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. A 7226 generator can be installed in the locomotive. There is an adjustable close coupling between the locomotive and the tender. There is an NEM coupler pocket on the front of the locomotive. Length over the buffers 26.3/26.5 cm / 10-3/8"/10-7/16".

Highlights: Headlight(s), Smoke generator contact, Steam locomotive op. sounds, Locomotive whistle, Telex coupler(s), Sound of squealing brakes off, Sound of coal being shoveled, Air Pump, Direct control, Grate Shaken.

 

2. Märklin H0: 37969 Weathered Tank Locomotive Gt 2x 4/4.

ToToTrains Price: Please contact me.

Prototype: Group Administration Bavaria (GVB) class Gt 2x 4/4 freight locomotive.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder, controlled, high-efficiency propulsion, and extensive sound functions. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. The frame is articulated to enable the unit to negotiate sharp curves. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. Numerous, separately applied details. Length over the buffers 20.3 cm / 8".

Highlights: Headlight(s), Steam locomotive op. sounds, Locomotive whistle, Direct control, Sound of squealing brakes off, Sound of coal being shoveled, Whistle for switching maneuver, Air Pump, Injectors, Letting off Steam, Grate Shaken.

The class Gt 2x4/4 Mallet design was built in a second production run starting in 1925 in and is still considered today as the heaviest and most powerful freight tank locomotive.

 

3. Märklin H0: 37989 Wathered Steam Locomotive PPR Mikado.

ToToTrains Price: Please contact me.

Prototype: Pennsylvania Railroad class L-1 fast freight locomotive.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has a controlled, powerful motor with a bell-shaped armature and a flywheel mounted in the boiler. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. A 72270 smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The headlight and the smoke generator contact will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The locomotive has steam locomotive sounds synchronized with the speed, a whistle sound, bell sound or acceleration and braking delay that can be controlled digitally. A non-working knuckle coupler is mounted on the pilot of the locomotive. There is a close coupling between the locomotive and tender. The locomotive has separately applied metal grab irons. It also has many separately applied details. A figure of a locomotive engineer and a fireman are included with the locomotive. Minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Length over the couplers 29.0 cm / 11-7/16".

Highlights: Headlight(s), Smoke generator contact, Steam locomotive op. sounds, Locomotive whistle, Direct control, Sound of squealing brakes off, Warning Sound, Bell, Air Pump, Injectors, Auxiliary Blower, Sound of Couplers Engaging, Rail Joints, mfx Decoder, Various sound functions that can be controlled digitally, Can motor with a bell-shaped armature and a flywheel.

 

4. Märklin H0: 39399 Weathered Steam Locomotive with a Tender, BR 39.0-2.

ToToTrains Price: Please contact me.

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 39.0-2 passenger steam locomotive, 2-8-2 wheel arrangement. Built starting in 1922 as the class P 10 for the Prussian State Railways. The locomotive looks as it did around 1964. Use: Standard passenger trains and light express and fast passenger trains.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder and a sound generator. It also has controlled Softdrive Sine high-efficiency propulsion, and a compact design, maintenance-free can motor. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and tender are constructed mostly of metal. There is a close coupling with a guide mechanism between the locomotive and the tender and it can be adjusted for curves. A 72270 smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The headlights are maintenance-free, warm white LEDs. The triple headlights change over with the direction of travel. The headlights and the smoke generator, which can be installed in the locomotive, will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The back of the tender has a close coupler with a guide mechanism and an NEM coupler pocket. Minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Piston rod protection sleeves are included. Length over the buffers 26.6 cm / 10-1/2".
