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.

This model can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment under item no. 37994. 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.

The 22778 electric express powered rail car is being produced in 2012 in a one-time series only for Trix Club 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: 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 Jakobs 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 designs fed the development of the subsequent DB VT 11.5 TEE powered rail car train.

The 22809 4-part basic set for the daytime powered rail car train can be expanded to the prototypical 7-part unit with the 24809 add-on car set.

Comment: The Re 6/6 - 3 Trucks on the Gotthard. The beginning of the Seventies marked the end of the legendary class Ae 6/6 on the Gotthard route. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) therefore had the firms SLM Winterthur, BBC Baden, and SAAS GenŠve develop a successor design: the class Re 6/6. The difficult conditions on the Gotthard required a locomotive with 6 powered axles. In order to keep wear to a minimum, the designers for the project decided against two trucks such as for the Ae 6/6. Instead, they went with three trucks, with the middle one having a great deal of side play. The trucks are linked with each other with elastic transverse couplings to guarantee optimum operation on curves. Four prototypes of the Re 6/6 were initially built, of which two were equipped with divided locomotive bodies that move vertically thus adapting to conditions in an optimal manner. Test runs showed that this was not necessary for the regular production locomotive and all 85 regular units built from 1975 to 1980 were equipped with a one piece locomotive body. The engineer's cabs on the Re 6/6 borrowed heavily from the design for the Re 4/4 II as did the electrical equipment for the transformers, of which the Re 6/6 has two. These locomotives are 19,310 mm / 63 feet 4-3/16 inches long, weigh 120 metric tons, and have a maximum speed of 140 km/h / 87 mph; their performance is 7,850 kilowatts / 10,527 horsepower. One particular technical feature is the locomotives' acceleration under optimal conditions: from 0 to 100 km/h / 63 mph in 5.8 seconds. The Re 6/6 locomotives have had to undergo several paint variations and overhauls. Thirty locomotives were equipped with remote radio control starting in 2000; these units are used with the designation Ref 6/6. The UIC designation for the class Re 6/6 is the class 620, which can be seen with increasing frequency on the locomotives. The 88 units still in service (one was lost to an accident in 1990) all belong to the SBB Cargo business area and haul heavy freight trains to all corners of Switzerland, also over the Gotthard route with a Re 4/4 II or Re 4/4 III in tandem motive power consists. The class Re 6/6 locomotives were even an alternative to a Re 4/4 II double motive power combination in heavy passenger service. After the modern class 460 was mainly assigned to passenger service, the impressive Re 6/6 with its three trucks once again dominates freight service on the Gotthard.

Comment: As early as 1826 vintner and cooper Johann Wilhelm Meuschel from Buchbrunn was making his way to north with the horse carriage full of wine barrels from Franconia. It made more sense and was more profitable to sell the wine outside of the wine growing region rather than within Franconia. The idea was successful, the business flourished, and it soon spread to the regions of Thuringia and Saxony. In 1845, the son of the same name founded the firm Wilh. Meuschel jr. In 1878, they moved to Kitzingen. At that time the firm was spread out over 40 different wine cellars in the old part of Kitzingen. The name Meuschel became famous beyond the borders of Franconia with his product and quality - so famous that in 1890 the firm was named the court supplier to the Duke of Saxony and in 1903 to the Royal Bavarian court. This wine business has been located in the current buildings since 1906. Many details worth seeing are witnesses to the history of those times and tell stories about the past. The wine growing profession has been in the family for over 400 years going back before the wine growing estate Wilh. Meuschel jr. - a tradition of commitment. Source: http://weingut-meuschel.de
