Class 185 dual system locomotive. Privately owned
locomotive painted and lettered for the firm rail4chem Railroad
Company mbH, Essen, Germany, in the association Rail Freight
Alliance European Bulls.
Model:
The locomotive has metal construction with many
integrated details. The total design of the locomotive is ideal for
model railroad operation. The locomotive has a digital decoder and a
special can motor. 4 axles powered through cardan shafts. 2 traction
tires. The headlights are LED’s and they change over with the
direction of travel. They will work in conventional operation and
can be controlled digitally. Adjustable running characteristics.
Four mechanically working pantographs. Length over the buffers 21.7
cm / 8-1/2”.
Era V freight cars from almost all of the Central
European railroads go well with this locomotive.
European Bulls was founded on January 13, 2005 as an alliance of
several European railroad freight companies with the main objective
of setting up a Europe-wide system of quality, reliable rail freight
service focused on customers. For the first time, customers for
European Bulls can contract with this association in one step for
international rail service without restrictions by old national
borders and considerations having to be taken into account between
state railroads. The partners in European Bulls offer Pan-European
transport services as they have been offered for a long time on
roads and waterways, services that have always failed by rail
because of the areas of responsibilities for the various national
railroads.

37482 - DB (former Bavarian) EG 2 x 2/2
Electric Locomotive
Prototype:
German Federal Railroad (DB) class E 70.2 – former
Royal Bavarian State Railroad (K.Bay.Sts.B.) class EG 2 x 2/2.
Model:
The locomotive comes with an mfx digital decoder and
controlled high efficiency propulsion. The locomotive has a special
can motor with a flywheel. 2 axles and a jackshaft powered. 2
traction tires. Articulated frame enabling the unit to negotiate
sharp curves, pivoting trucks mounted under the rigidly mounted hood
areas. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be
controlled digitally. The acceleration and braking delay can be
controlled digitally with a 6021 Control Unit or with Marklin
Systems. Length over the buffers 14.3 cm / 5-3/4“.
The Bavarian State Railroad purchased
two electric locomotives for freight and pusher service on the route Freilassing – Berchtesgaden. These units had powered trucks and no
pilot trucks and their design was quite progressive for that period.
Both of these locomotives were placed into service in 1920 and
turned in good results on their challenging home line. For that
reason they remained there in service even into the German Federal
Railroad period.
|
39440 - DB Class 144 Electric
Locomotive
Prototype:
German Federal Railroad (DB) class 144 general-purpose
locomotive. Older design locomotive.
Model:
The locomotive comes with an mfx digital decoder and a
controlled high efficiency C-sine motor in a new compact design.
Centrally mounted motor with a flywheel. 4 axles powered through cardan
shafts. 2 traction tires. The headlights are maintenance-free LED’s. The
headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled
digitally. The acceleration and braking delay can be controlled
digitally with a 6021 Control Unit or with Marklin Systems. The buffer
beams swing out prototypically with the trucks. Length over the buffers
17.5 cm / 7“.
After the great world-wide economic crisis, the
German State Railroad resumed electrification of its network. New,
powerful locomotives were needed for these routes. The German railroad
industry developed innovative concepts and prototypes for modern,
general-purpose locomotives for this purpose. The design by Siemens in
particular stood out as clearly more progressive compared to previous
designs that were only further developments of provincial railroad
locomotives. The Siemens unit was designed as a lightweight,
general-purpose locomotive and had a welded frame that rode on two
two-axle trucks with integrated buffer beams. Four traction motors
suspended from the axles provided the drive mechanism. This meant that
this compact locomotive with no pilot trucks could bring its full 78
metric tons of service weight to bear as adhesion weight on the
driving wheels without reaching the critical axle load of 20 metric
tons. These modern motors reached 2,200 kilowatts / 2,949 horsepower
that could be used directly at the axles without expensive drive
mechanisms. This locomotive could reach 90 km/h / 56 mph. The 178
locomotives purchased by the German State Railroad from 1932 to 1945
as the E 44 were followed by another 7 units on the German Federal
Railroad. These units all turned in such good results that they were
kept in regular service well into the 1980s and were considered almost
indestructible.

During the early German Federal Railroad period in
the 1950s and 1960s the German rail network was being rebuilt and
expanded in many places. The rails being laid were longer than in the
German State Railroad period, and the DB employed the type H 10 flat
car, which was available in large quantities. Several of these cars were
coupled together as a unit. The rails loaded on these car consists
followed the curves in the track.
