Comment: The class V 100 diesel locomotives were developed in the Fifties initially as a replacement for the class 64 and 86 steam locomotives and were planned for light service on main lines and mixed use on branch lines. The V 80 served as a prototype, but the new locomotive was to be considerably more cost effective. MaK in Kiel was contracted to develop this locomotive in cooperation with the DB's central office in Munich. Late in the fall of 1958 MaK delivered five pre-production locomotives, road numbers V 100 001-005 (later V 100 1001-1005, and from 1968 on 211 001-005) each with a 1,000 horsepower motor as well as road number V 100 006 (later V 100 2001, and from 1968 on 212 001) which has a 1,350 horsepower motor. In 1961/62 an order was placed for 20 pre-production locomotives of the class V 100.20 with the more powerful 1,350 horsepower motor as a "lightweight main line locomotive". Between 1963 and 1966 the German locomotive builders delivered two groups of a total of 360 units of this more powerful variation. In 1965 ten units (road numbers V 100 2332-2341) were equipped with hydrodynamic brakes for use on the steeply graded route from Rastatt to Freudenstadt. The squared off, boxy shape was characteristic for the V 100 and clearly borrowed from the V 60 for this look. The motor output was transmitted to the hydraulic Voith transmission by means of an elastic coupling and universal joint shaft. The transmission had stepped gears allowing operation on the line (maximum speed 100 km/h / 63 mph) or in switching operations (maximum speed 65 km/h / 41mph). The trucks with their tube construction were a new design, and the wheel set suspension arms were mounted on them by means of silent blocks. The engine layout in the front, longer hood was very accessible from outside by means of a hood-shaped sliding door. These units were general-purpose locomotives and were run with light and medium passenger, fast passenger, and freight trains on main lines and branch lines. In 1968 the V 100.20 was assigned the computer-generated class designation of 212; the locomotives for steeply grade routes were run as the class 213. From the mid-Nineties on these locomotives were used less and less. The last units were taken out of service on the DB AG's freight division (Railion) in December of 2004. These retired locomotives were not scrapped for the most part; most were sold via locomotive dealers. Many are used today by track construction firms in France and Italy. Private German railroads and foreign state railroads were and still are willing buyers of the V 100.20 (212). Even the DB has not dispensed entirely with these proven locomotives. Twelve re-motored units are in operation on the DB Fahrzeugdienste GmbH (locomotive and car maintenance unit of the DB) and six of the 212/213 can be found at the DB Bahnbau-Gruppe GmbH (track maintenance unit of the DB). Fifteen units remain available rebuilt as the class 714 for the DB Netz Notfalltechnik (network emergency technology unit of the DB) and serve as motive power for rescue trains that used chiefly for emergency situations on the newly constructed routes.

Comment: The famous Prussian locomotive department head Robert Garbe initiated the development of a five axle tank locomotive in 1904, whose frame and running gear was to be designed using the Gölsdorf Principle for better running on curves. The first, third, and fifth driving axles were mounted with side play and the drive was on the fourth driving axle. The firm Berliner Maschinenbau AG (BMAG, formerly Schwartzkopff) delivered two prototypes based on this principle as early as 1905. Additional units of the new class T 16 quickly went into service. Due to partially dissatisfactory running characteristics the drive was switched from the fourth to the third driving axle starting in 1910, the latter driving axle now being mounted rigidly. In 1913 systematic changes were made with the installation of a four-part super heater, valve gear with Kuhn slides instead of hanger valve gear as well as exhaust steam pre-heater that was initially mounted lengthwise and later next to the boiler. The transfer to the T 16.1 was complete with this "reinforced" T 16. Purchases of this T 16.1 stretched out to 1924, i.e. well into the period of the DRG. A total of 1,236 units were built for Prussia and the DRG. In addition to BMAG, Hanomag, Henschel, and Linke-Hofmann also participated in the building of them from 1921 on. In 1915 Grafenstaden delivered another six of the T 16.1 for Alsace-Lorraine. Reparations after the end of World War I decimated the ranks such that the DRG was able to reclassify the remaining T 16.1 locomotives as road numbers 94 502-1380 and 94 1501-1740. The T 16.1 units were not only powerful locomotives for pusher and freight service. Starting in the Twenties the DRG equipped a number of the T 16.1 locomotives with a Riggenbach counter-pressure brake for operation on steeply graded routes. They were used in part in Thuringia, and in West and South Germany replaced rack railroad operations with rack locomotives there. After the end of World War II a large number of the locomotives found new homes in Poland, Austria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR. The majority of the class 94 locomotives remained however in the western zones. After units damaged in the war were retired, the DB in 1950 still had 679 of the T 16.1 on its roster while the DR in East Germany still had 249 of these locomotives after the end of the war. The class 94 locomotives remained indispensable on both German railroads for decades, chiefly at large switch yards, and many of them were thus equipped with radio switching equipment. In 1968 140 locomotives on the DB were given the computer-generated class designation of 094. It was the stepped up delivery of the class 290/291 heavy diesel switch engines that finally replaced the last of these locomotives with their five driving axles so that in December of 1974 the last of the T 16.1 units were retired. The T 16.1 remained in use on the East German DR only a little bit longer than on the DB. The last units were retired in 1975. At least twelve of the T 16.1 escaped the cutting torch. Road numbers 94 1292 on the Rennsteig Railroad and 94 1538, which has stood for many years as a monument in Gönnern, have the best chances of being put back into operational condition.

Comment: Thirteen powered rail cars survived World War II. Nine remained in the West Zones; of them seven units were retired over the course of 1949. In 1950, German Federal Railroad still had two rail cars on its roster: the DT 1 (former road number 1000) and the DT 8 (former road number 1007). The latter hung on tenaciously and was still used in push/pull service until the end of 1953 on the Baden route Müllheim - Neuenburg. It was put in storage on January 2, 1954 and was retired on March 3, 1954. Powered rail cars DT 2, 3, and 9 (former road numbers 1001, 1002, and DW 15) remained after 1945 with the SNCF. The first two rail cars worked until 1956 under the designations XDR 10.102 and 10.103 in Mulhouse as powered rail cars for crews. The former DT 6 (former road number 1005) came on to the roster of the DR in 1949 as DT 151 after nationalization of the Oderbruch Railroad; it remained in storage and was scrapped in November of 1957 in Frankfurt/Oder. One Kittel powered rail car delivered to Switzerland is still preserved there in operational condition.

Comment: After the first success with 2-axle, lightweight powered rail cars for branch lines, different firms delivered additional 2-axle units of different designs and performance to the German State Railroad Company (DRG) from 1932 on. The firm Waggonfabrik Bautzen built three series of diesel mechanical powered rail cars between 1933 and 1935. These units differed from one another only in small details. While the first series delivered (road numbers VT 135 002-011) had riveted frames and car bodies, the second series (road numbers VT 135 022-031) made use increasingly of welding technology. On the third series (VT 135 051-060) the frame and car body were assembled completely by the use of welding. Appropriate trailer cars as road numbers VB 140 032-047, 097-122 as well as 230-249 were delivered almost at the same time in three production groups. The first powered rail car series originally ran with a 120 horsepower Daimler diesel motor, later with the same type of motor as the two other groups, a Daimler motor with 135 horsepower. With one exception the motor extended into the car body on all of the powered cars and was covered by a folding back seat. On all three series a proven mechanical power transmission system was used in the form of a four-speed, pressure-activated gear change and gear reverse transmission from the firm of TAG. After the end of the war the DB took over cars from all three series and designated them from 1947 on as the class VT 75.9. Starting in the mid-Fifties all of the class VT 75.9 units were based at Regensburg and were even equipped with new Deutz type A 6 M 617 motors with 130 horsepower such as were used on small locomotives in Performance Group II. Of the original 16 cars re-classed by the DB there were still eleven on the roster at the start of 1960. Nine of them were retired by the DB in April and May of 1960. The last two VT 75.9 cars were not retired until March 30, 1962 at the Schwandorf maintenance center. The East German DR after the end of the war had by contrast only one powered rail car on their roster: Road number VT 135 054 (from 1970 on 186 257) was later rebuilt into a salon car at the maintenance center in Magdeburg and is now part of the museum inventory and can be found at the maintenance center in Staáfurt.

The 37778 electric express powered rail car is being produced in 2012 in a one-time series only for Insider members.

Comment: An electric powered rail car train was planned at the end of the Sixties as an alternative to express trains hauled by locomotives. This was done with future new German Federal Railroad routes in mind. The railroad allocated a considerable sum of money for equipment and features for the class 403 powered rail car train that was supposed to replace the diesel powered class 601 Trans Europe Express units. This was done to link top-of-the-line technology with comfort. Three sleek racers were placed into service one after the other starting in 1974. The TEE level of comfort was of course obligatory on these trains: The 403 only had first class seating in compartments and open seating areas, air conditioning, folding-sliding doors, a dining area, and a galley. An absolute highlight: a train secretary's compartment as well as a telephone booth. This train had to score with more than just amenities; it also had to be faster and quieter than the class 601. The engineers were faced with the challenge to design the car bodies with extremely lightweight construction ? in contrast to classic car construction with steel, the underbody, the body frame, the roof, side and end walls were mostly made of aluminum alloys. This paid off: With only a 16 metric ton axle load and thanks to all-wheel drive, this express powered rail car train accelerated in 100 seconds from zero to 200 km/h / 125 mph. As a rule the train ran at 160 km/h / 100 mph and consisted of two powered end cars (class 403), an intermediate car with an open seating area (class 404.0), and an intermediate car with a dining area and a galley (class 404.1). As "all-around-talent" the 403 was also suitable for operation in Austria and Switzerland. The pantographs with narrow contact wipers required for operation in Switzerland could be installed on the roofs of the powered end cars. The braking technology consisted of electric resistance brakes, compressed air disk brakes, and magnetic rail brakes, because the ET 403 has to be able to stop in less than 1,700 meters or 5,577 feet from full speed. These trains ran in regular service for three years, but were also used in special service by the German Federal Railroad. The main route was IC Line 4 Munich ? Nürnberg ? Bremen. These powered rail car trains were presented by the DB with pleasure as prestige showpieces at trade fairs and special shows. They started their second career in regularly scheduled service from 1982 to 1993 in a special paint scheme as the "Lufthansa Airport Express". The smart combination of the latest technology and a futuristic look restored the image of the Intercity. Moreover the 403 marked the third generation of today's ICE powered rail car trains in trend-setting manner.

Comment: The class 50 locomotive came into being shortly before the start of World War II as the last of the so-called "standard design steam locomotives". In April of 1937 the Reich Transportation Ministry (RVM) charged the German State Railroad Central Office (RZA) with the design of a powerful freight locomotive for branch lines, among other things, as a replacement for the class 57.10-40 (Prussian G 10) 0-10-0 freight steam locomotives. It had to be able to pull a medium weight train on flat terrain, negotiate curves with a radius of 140 meters / approximately 460 feet, and be usable with about a 15 metric ton wheel load on branch lines with less than ideal roadbed. A suitable maximum speed appeared to be 80 km/h / 50 mph. Since many end terminals had no turntable or one that was too short, this locomotive had to be able to go at the same speed in both directions. For that reason a protective wall was planned for the tender to protect the locomotive crew when running in reverse. The RZA initially planned a 2-8-0 locomotive (class 46) because no faith was placed in a 2-10-0 design for the required high speed in reverse and the necessary tractive effort. The required wheel loads could not be reached with a 2-8-0 design, so the design remained with a locomotive with 5 driving axles and a pilot truck. From April to July of 1939 Henschel delivered the first twelve locomotives with a steel firebox, alloy steel for the boiler plating, a two-cylinder, super heated steam running gear layout with a Wagner super heater as well as 232 pounds per square inch boiler excess pressure. The class 50 that came out of this was soon destined to become the German State Railroad's most successful design, because this locomotive with its approximately 1,600 horsepower and 80 km/h / 50 mph speed quickly became a general-purpose, sturdy, reliable unit. The outbreak of war on September 1, 1939 caused a leap in the demand for freight locomotives, and the twelve pre-production locomotives were followed by another 3,152 units over the course of the next few years. Almost all of Europe's locomotive builders participated in the construction of these units. Like the class 44, the class 50 was also simplified in steps during the course of World War II, so that starting in 1942 locomotives were delivered as the class 50 ÜK. Over 300 units were so simplified in the end that, although they were planned as the class 50, they were designated as the war class 52. Despite numerous losses to the war, after 1945 there were almost 3,000 locomotives on the two German railroads alone. The East German DR had over 317 after giving up and retiring a quantity, and the DB had more than 2,000 units. The DB units were at home all over the German Federal Republic. They were equipped with Witte smoke deflectors, and the running board skirting was removed on most units. Starting in 1961 the tenders on 730 locomotives were equipped with engineer's cabs as part of a rationalization and updating of service and operations. This did limit the coal capacity to 6.6 metric tons. With the lower weight these locomotives became more multifaceted in their use and replaced tank locomotives on many branch lines. With the introduction of computer numbers starting in 1968 the class 50 became the classes 050-053. They were among the last steam locomotives on the German Federal Railroad and were in use until 1977.

Comment: 175 Years of Borsig ? Pioneer Locomotive Builder of Europe. When August Borsig opened his machinery building and iron casting company in 1837 in Berlin, probably no one suspected that out of would come one of the largest locomotive builders in the world. As early as 1841 August Borsig built the locomotive BORSIG with the builder number 1 after painstaking investigation in the typical English and American locomotive types for that time. This locomotive impressed people with an improved valve gear and axle system and on July 21, 1841 a contest against an English locomotive with a 10 minute head start. From this day on the victorious path of Borsig locomotive building began that ended in 1954 after more than 16,000 finished locomotives. During the era of steam locomotive building Borsig evolved all over Europe into the greatest and second largest locomotive builder worldwide. In honor of the 175th anniversary of the firm Borsig Märklin is issuing a five-part special series of sought after H0 models which will end in 2016 on the 175th anniversary of steam locomotive building in Germany. Every year a locomotive with exquisite detailing and technically premium features will issued as a one-time series. Each of these models will be delivered with a decorative display case whose backdrop will be designed with a high quality relief of the characteristics Borsig gate. In addition to the relief, the display case will be provided with an engraved metal plate showing the builder number from the delivery book. Each locomotive will also include an excerpt from the Borsig delivery book printed on high quality paper to round out this theme.

Comment: The Union Pacific Railroad (UP) class 4000 known as the "Big Boy" is surely one of the most popular steam giants in America if not worldwide. These articulated locomotives with their 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement had their origin in 1941 at ALCO from the continuation of the "Challenger" concept, extremely successful UP articulated steam locomotives with a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement. The conception of the "Big Boys" resulted from the usual requirements as with all the other American classes of large locomotives. Fewer locomotives were expected to pull heavier loads with higher speeds. Basically the UP bought the 25 units for only one single route: From Cheyenne, Wyoming 830 kilometers / 519 miles westwards through the foothills of the Rocky Mountains over Sherman Hill to Ogden, Utah. Before the pass named after General William T. Sherman is a long grade of about 50 kilometers / 31 miles from Cheyenne with a maximum climb of 1.5 percent. In the opposite direction the 105 kilometer / 66 mile long grade of 1.14 % through the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains demands it tribute. The result was a gigantic machine with a service weight of 548 tons (including the tender). An attempt was made to reach an equal distribution of the weight with the 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement that had not been built up to then. With a grate area of almost 14 square meters / 150.70 square feet and a superheating surface of 229 square meters / 2,464 square feet the Big Boys had a continuous power rating of 6,290 horsepower at the couplers. Boiler performance of over 10,000 horsepower or 8,200 electrical horsepower was recorded. The assigned range of duties for the "Big Boys" was fast freight service. They were capable of pulling 4,000 ton trains over the mountain passes without help. The new locomotive had a design speed of 128 km/h or 80 mph that it reached with only 1.7 meter / 66-15/16" diameter driving wheels. This put it in the ranks of the fastest articulated steam locomotives. But, these units were not allowed to thunder through this part of the West at this speed in regular service. Locomotive engineers confirmed however that speedometer often showed more than the allowed 112 km/h / 70 mph when they were running late. According to the legend these giants acquired the nickname "Big Boy" from a young worker who scribbled the name on the smoke box shortly before the locomotive was presented. Officials from ALCO and UP liked this so much that "Big Boy" was even used in the advertising for the locomotive. On average these units consumed 47,200 liters or 12, 469 gallons of water and 22 tons of coal per hour. Of course, a fireman would have been overwhelmed if he had had to feed one of these ravenous beasts with a shovel. A stoker moved coal from the tender to the locomotive by means of a screw in a pipe and sprayed it into the fire box with steam pressure. The fireman adjusted the distribution of the coal in the fire box by controlling the steam pressure. In the fall of 1945 the UP decided to equip a "Big Boy" with smoke deflectors as an experiment in order to keep the smoke out of the engineer's and fireman's eyes. In the beginning of December 1945 the "Big Boy" with road number 4019 had smoke deflectors installed on it at the maintenance center in Green River, Wyoming. The tests were finished on January 20, 1946 and these "large ears" were removed again in Green River. The tests had shown that at lower speeds in freight service and with recently improved blowers the smoke could be routed ever better over the engineer's cab and without smoke deflectors. The Big Boy era was definitively past in July of 1959 when the fires in all of the units were banked for good. The hope of many railroad fans to see road numbers 4003 and 4019 (stored in operational condition as reserve locomotives in 1960) thundering one more time over Sherman Hill sadly did not come to pass. At least eight of the steam locomotive giants were preserved but not in operational condition.

Notes for operating the locomotive: The locomotive can be used on curved track with a radius of 360 mm / 14-3/16" or more, however we recommend larger radii. Signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel portals, etc. must be installed for sufficient clearance on curves. The track must be well mounted due to the heavy weight of the locomotive. The locomotive can only be run through a turntable or transfer table. Products bearing "Union Pacific" are made under trademark license from the Union Pacific Railroad Company. We would like to thank the Union Pacific Historical Society for their support in making this version of the Big Boy possible.

Comment: 01 150 -- Like a Phoenix from the Ashes It was already something special ? the steam locomotive with road number 01 150. It first saw the light of day at Henschel in Kassel in 1935 with the builder number 22698. In the same year it took part in the Nürnberg Parade at the anniversary "100 Years of German Railroads". It opened the anniversary parade on December 8, 1935 at the Nürnberg switch yard at the head of nine other standard design express train steam locomotives (road numbers 01 151 to 155 and 03 209 to 212). Important stations during its normal service life were Bebra, Frankfurt/Main, and Giessen as well as the railroad maintenance facility in Hof starting in 1965, where the decision to retire it overtook this locomotive on November 13, 1973. In the same year the Bielefeld textile manufacturer Walter Seidensticker bought this retired locomotive and stored it in the maintenance facility in his home town. Searching for enthusiasts to do the overhaul work to put the locomotive back into operation Seidensticker ran into Olaf Teubert in 1980 as well as his colleagues Jochen Pook and Martin Hahlbohm from the railroad maintenance facility in Bielefeld. After work they invested countless hours restoring road number 01 150 which was ready to run again starting on March 18, 1982. Six active years of special runs and participation in parades as well as exhibitions followed. The crowning moment during this time was the locomotive and powered unit parades for the anniversary "150 Years of German Railroads" in September of 1985 in Nürnberg, which the now 50 year old locomotive (by chance with the number of the anniversary) passed with flying colors. The active time for road number 01 150 ended in 1988 because there was no longer a home base after the dissolution and razing of the railroad maintenance facility in Bielefeld. The locomotive went back to the ownership of the German Railroad and then to the Transportation Museum in Nürnberg, where it was heavily damaged in a fire in 2005. But Olaf Teubert was not ready to give up. In the following years he collected donations from firms and private parties for the restoration of "his" locomotive. In October of 2010 everything was finally ready: All of the participants agreed on a restoration and operations concept, which was financially supported by Märklin. The steam locomotive facility at Meiningen was awarded the contract to restore the locomotive to operational condition. Starting in the fall of 2011 road number 01 150 will once again be allowed to be under steam. However, the appearance of this locomotive will change somewhat; it's being given large ears, i.e. Wagner smoke deflectors. The idea was to make the locomotive look as it did when first delivered in 1935. The DB conversions remained however, i.e. no central locking of the smoke box door and the pumps remained in the middle of the locomotive on the running boards. According to information from the German Railroad the plans are for road number 01 150 to be based at the DB Museum in Halle/Saale and to be operated from there by the association "Traditionsgemeinschaft Bw Halle P". This association made a name for itself in the past with the operation of road number 03 1010, also a coal-fired steam locomotive.

Märklin is participating financially to a considerable extent in the restoration of the great steam locomotive legends of German and international railroad history. Together with other partners such as the tireless donation collector Olaf Teubert, a former locomotive engineer for road number 01 150, the German Railroad Foundation, and the German Railroad, Inc. have created the financial basis to have road number 01 150 overhauled at the Meiningen Steam Locomotive Works to keep it in operating condition. The locomotive will be operated by the association "Traditionsgemeinschaft Bw Halle P e.V." which is based at the DB Museum in Halle/Saale. The locomotive will be used in the future in historic railroad service all over Germany.

Comment: VT 10.5 - "Senator" by Day, "Komet" by Night. At the start of the Fifties, the German Federal Railroad (DB) developed two articulated powered rail car trains for long distance service. These two articulated powered rail car trains were presented for the first time at the German Transportation Exhibition (DVA) in Munich in 1953: The VT 10 501, built by Linke-Hofmann-Busch as a daytime train "Senator" for the DB, and the VT 10 551, built by Wegmann as the overnight train "Komet" for the German Sleeping Car and Dining Car Company (DSG). In addition to their use and paint scheme, these two trains also had design differences. While the cars for the "Senator" were equipped with single-axle running gear, the "Komet" had Jacobs trucks between the cars. The end cars on both trains each had a two-axle power truck. MAN diesel motors with originally a performance of 118 kilowatts / 158 horsepower, later with 154 kilowatts / 206 horsepower, were used in the motor cars. The maximum speed was 120 km/h / 75 mph; a planned increase to 160 km/h / 100 mph was not carried out. The power transmission was done hydraulically by means of a four-speed transmission. The "Senator" offered its passengers 135 seats in 1st class, 24 of them reclining seats. The trains went into regular service with the beginning of the summer schedule in 1954. The daytime train, road no. VT 10 501 as Ft 41/42 "Senator" on the route Frankfurt/Main - Hamburg, the overnight train as Ft 49/50 "Komet" between Hamburg and Basle (starting in the summer of 1955 to Zürich). The running characteristics of the overnight train received a positive evaluation. Those of the daytime train were the opposite according to DB documents: "All things considered, it is apparent that the freight car characteristics cannot be removed from this train." The "Senator" was in use until June of 1956, was rebuilt several times, and tested in experimental runs. In 1959, it was taken out of operation and in 1962 was scrapped. All of the cars from the two trains were scrapped except for the intermediate car VT 10 551i from the overnight train that is used by Nürnberg railroad enthusiasts as a home for their club. The experiences with the two Kruckenberg desig

The 39101 4-part basic set for the daytime powered rail car train can be expanded to the prototypical 7-part unit with the 41101 add-on car set.
