Comment: The Class 103 - the DB's Media Star! The German Federal Railroad ushered in a new era, when the class E 03 was presented in 1965 at the International Transportation Exhibition in Munich: regularly scheduled passenger service at 200 km/h / 125 mph. In addition, the class E 03, designated as the class 103 in the German Federal Railroad's roster from 1968 on, represented a milestone in locomotive development - it was the first express locomotive to surpass the class E 19, whose design dated back to the Thirties. Reason enough to be proud of this powerful, beautifully shaped locomotive and to put it accordingly in the limelight. Hardly any other locomotive like the class 103, known for an entire generation as the Intercity locomotive, was marketed so much in the media. In TV ad spots, posters, and brochures this locomotive became a symbol for the German Federal Railroad's dynamism, a guarantee for reliability, speed, and comfort. Extensive test runs, among them regular speeds of 200 km/h / 125 mph between Munich and Augsburg, were done with four prototypes, until the class 103 was purchased as a regular production unit starting in 1970. The 145 locomotives differed from the prototypes in leaving off the decorative striping and in double rows of vents. Single-arm pantographs were installed on the locomotives from 1976 on, and the last series of units delivered had longer engineer's cabs, because crews complained about the cramped work space. The aerodynamic, six-axle locomotive had a total continuous power rating of 7,440 kilowatts / 9,977 horsepower and was the most powerful DB locomotive until the use of three-phase current technology. The high startup tractive effort as well as the electric brakes, independent for the first time of the catenary and connected in series with air brakes, drew favorable comment worldwide. The performance strengths of the 103 were reflected in the enormous number of runs and even today it is still rated as the locomotive with the highest level of service life in Germany. Its uncommonly attractive looks remained essentially unchanged during its use on the DB. In later years, the skirting and the buffer cladding were removed and several locomotives were painted in the "Chinese red" color scheme; only one unit was painted in "traffic red". The German Federal Railroad's class 103 was very popular with crews and passengers right up to the end of its regularly scheduled use, and it is understandable that a considerable number of them have remained preserved as museum locomotives. Many people today remember back as if it were just yesterday when they were young and how the 103 flew past them on the station platform. From the time the prototype was placed into service, it was a special challenge and pleasure for the firm of Märklin to develop a corresponding model and offer it to our customers. For that reason, we are also proud in 2008 that a model of this first class locomotive will also be produced in 1 Gauge exclusively for our loyal Insider customers. The translation of the real life locomotive into the model is being done in the customary uncompromising manner and the model of the class 103 will be a star in your 1 Gauge collection as it once was a star in the prototype.

The contemporary car types for the TEE "Rheingold" in the sets, item nos. 58038 and 58039, are the right express train passenger cars to go with the 103.1.

DB Rheingold 1 Express Train Passenger 3-Car Set

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) express train passenger cars painted and lettered for the TEE. 1 type ADümh 101 car (vista dome car with 8 roof windows) 1 type Avümh 111 car (compartment car with a steep roof and a roof vent) 1 type Avümz 111 car (compartment car with a steep roof and a roof vent)

Model: These TEE "Rheingold" cars are completely new tooling. The cars look as they did around 1970. The roof shapes, side walls, underbodies, and skirting are specific to the type of car. The trucks are Minden-Deutz designs with brake shoes or disk brakes, magnetic rail brakes, and separately applied generators. The vista dome car (type ADümh) has 8 roof windows. The car roofs can be removed from the cars. These four-axle express train passenger cars are not available separately. All of the cars have detailed interiors and built-in interior lighting. A 60960 on/off decoder can be installed in the cars. The cars have guide mechanisms for the couplers in order to provide close-coupled car spacing.

Highlights:

Completely new tooling, highly detailed construction.
Prototypical train composition.
Class 103 locomotive goes well with these cars.
Other cars available to add to these cars.

Comment: The TEE Rheingold. After the Rheingold long distance express was upgraded to the Trans Europe Express, the comfortable, 26.4 meter / 86 foot 7-3/8 inch long cars developed by the DB on the basis of the UIC-X cars starting in 1962 were repainted in the TEE colors. They continued in use on the classic Rheingold route. This deluxe train still consisted exclusively of cars with 1st class seating. The additional cars delivered from 1965 on also had air conditioning and could be identified externally by their steep roofs. The generous seating offered passengers almost unlimited comfort. In addition to the exquisite culinary delights offered in the dining car, the vista dome car was of course also very popular with passengers. This car with the higher position of its seats offered a panorama view of the scenic beauty on the middle Rhine Valley and made the long travel time seem shorter. The train attracted attention in many places and was pulled by class 112 (E 10.12) locomotives. Starting in 1972, the German Federal Railroad made use of its flagship as motive power for the TEE Rheingold: the class 103. On the SBB lines in Switzerland, where the train's routing went to Geneva for a time, an Re 4/4 I in TEE colors pulled this deluxe train. A lounge car and a club car purchased for the side train running between Munich and Mannheim starting in 1983 added to the repertoire of TEE cars. However, the demand for a purely 1st class train sank increasingly. In 1987, the TEE Rheingold finally bowed out from the German Federal Railroad for good with the introduction of the EuroCity trains.

The class 103 electric locomotive, item no. 55103, is an excellent complement to the Rheingold cars. Three additional Rheingold cars are available under item no. 58039.
