One-time series.

Comment: The EuroCity (EC) 10/11 "Mimara" celebrated its premiere on June 2, 1991 between Munich and Salzburg with the start of the summer and the annual schedule. It ran for the first time on the route Munich - Zagreb. The Yugoslavian painter, restorer, and art collector Ante Topi Mimara (1898-1987) served as its namesake. Five financially, totally independent firms were responsible for the Yugoslavian rail system even before the dissolution of Yugoslavia. They were headquartered in Zagreb, Sarajewo, Beograd, Skopje, and Ljubljana. The "Association of the Yugoslavian Railways" in Belgrade served only as an umbrella organization, which is why the Zagreb Railroad Administration for the Yugoslavian State Railways (Jugoslovenske Äeleznice - JÄ) purchased new, extremely comfortable cars just for this train, cars that are still used today in the best train connections out of Zagreb: These are 26.4 meter / 86 foot 7 inch long air conditioned open seating cars for 1st and 2nd class. With a paint scheme in powder blue / light gray there was moreover a special color scheme created just for these cars. The Croatian State Railways (HÄ - Hrvatske željeznice) and the Slovenian State Railways (SÄ - Slovenske železnice) that came into being with the dissolution of Yugoslavia initially kept the paint scheme variation as well as the cars for the EC "Mimara". With the start of the summer schedule for 1993 the EC 10/11 "Mimara" was extended to Leipzig and promoted to one of the "star trains" on the so-called Frankenwald rail line. This was surely if nothing else thanks to its exotic cars and motive power in the form of a class 103 electric locomotive. Starting in 1996 the routing for the "Mimara" was even extended to Berlin. With the introduction of the ICE line Hamburg - Berlin - Munich the routing of the train from Berlin to Munich was discontinued starting in 2000 and the "Mimara" terminated again in Munich. Unfortunately, the DB did away with almost all train names with the change of schedules in 2006 and there was no longer an EC "Mimara" in Germany anymore.

Comment: In June of 1952 the brand name "da Vinci" registered by Marianne and Hansfried Defet was officially confirmed by the German Patent Office and since then has stood as a seal of quality for the products of this Nürnberg paint brush specialist. High quality, processed material, traditional hand work, and the latest production processes have always gone hand in hand so that optimal quality standards are assured for the entire range of products. Artist's brushes are the foundation of the production program. The basis for all of these products was, is, and will also be in the future: careful selection of raw materials that are treated for the most part in the company's own finish or in subsequent treatment for the individual type of brushes. In addition, an equivalent attitude is taken with the education of a brush maker. Each of the specialized workers has passed a three-year apprenticeship before he or she is assigned to a particular product group and is also trained for it. Furthermore, the level of knowledge and the skills are continuously foster after the educational process. The axiom "Made in Germany" is not and never has been in question. In the opinion of the company this is the only way to ensure consistent quality for all of their products. More information is available at www.davinci-defet.com

Comment: In 1838 the Munich politician and businessman Von Maffei purchased a small hammer mill for 57,000 Gulden in Hirschau, "a postal hour distant from Munich, at the end of the English Gardens", as the art and trade newspaper described it in 1852. Maffei was pursuing a concrete goal: He was pressing ahead with all of his powers the construction of the rail line Munich-Augsburg and was irritated that the expensive locomotives from England were assembled on the spot by English experts. Without hesitation this representative to the Bavarian government's lower house hired the engineer Joseph Hallab - he became the manager of the iron works in Hirschau. The idea of building locomotives in Bavarian took fire. On September 9, 1841 Maffei was able to apply for a patent from King Ludwig I for the first locomotive. The Wittelsbach king accepted: "It is with great pleasure that I experienced the building of the steam car from Munich and expressed the wish that I would like to give it a name; it should be called the 'Münchner'." It is the start of a history of success: In 1851 the Maffei steam locomotive "Bavaria" was chosen for mastering the enormous grade over the Semmering - an invaluable image coup. By 1931, according to the Bavarian Historical Lexicon, 5,459 locomotives had been built in the Munich works of J. A. Maffei - in addition, railroad bridges, stationary steam engines, and steam ships.

Comment: With the transfer of the German provincial railroads into the German state in 1920, the Free State of Bavaria received after appropriate negotiations a special status for the railroad operations in its area: The independent "Bavarian Group Administration ". For example, the Bavarian signal system continued to be valid and a free hand was granted more or less in the purchasing of locomotives and cars for the special needs of the Free State. The appearance, the paint schemes, and the lettering for motive power and cars documented the independence; they differed to a large degree from those in the rest of the German territory. The special position regarding paint schemes and lettering ended however around 1927, and other exceptions to the regulations were successively taken back by 1933 and ended in 1937 by law with the dissolution of the German State Railroad Company (DRG) and the creation of the German State Railroad. Bavaria was given the German State Railroad central office in Munich as a replacement for the special status that had been given up. This central office was responsible for procuring electric motive power for the entire German state.

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 had 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 are used chiefly for emergency situations on the newly constructed routes.

Comment: The class S 3/6 locomotives are among the very successful designs in railroad history. These locomotives proved themselves not only in Bavaria, but also in important long distance service beyond the borders of Germany. In the years 1923 to 1930, the German State Railroad ordered additional locomotives from Maffei and Henschel on the basis of the good experience with the locomotive initially designated as the class 18.4. These units were first classified as the S 3/6 and later designated as the class 18.5. Noticeable features on this class were the straight front on the engineer's cab in contrast to the earlier pointed shape for better air flow. Together with the boiler appearing longer, it gave these locomotives a totally different look. The power for the locomotives was increased to 1,830 horsepower.

Comment: The Design Principle by Engineer Franco and Professor Crosti. A Franco-Crosti boiler is a conventional locomotive boiler with an additional boiler for heating feed water with the assistance of the passing flue gases. This second boiler is therefore called an exhaust gas pre-heater. The Italian designers Franco and Crosti built their first test machines with this technology as early as the 1930s. The savings in coal amounted to approximately 20% with the improved efficiency. The German Federal Railroad took advantage of this idea and contracted Henschel to build two locomotives. Although they originated from class 52 parts, the two Franco-Crosti locomotives were assigned the road numbers 429000 and 429001. The exhaust gas pre-heater is situated below the regular boiler in these locomotives. The flat smokestacks for operation project from both sides of the boiler, which results in a very striking appearance. The standard smokestack is no longer used to discharge the exhaust gases during operation; it is only required for firing up the locomotive. Despite the increased efficiency, the operating costs were rather high and pre-heater boilers were rather subject to corrosion. The two locomotives were taken out of service in 1959 and 1960, respectively.

Comment: The Hamburg-Dammtor Station was built between 1901 and 1903. Government Superintendent of Civil Engineering Schwartz and the architect Rüdell designed this totally symmetrical station. The light colored sandstone fa‡ades on the ground level, the delicate, immense glass surfaces with pillars clad in sandstone and the monumental center fa‡ade area resulted in a marvelous civil engineering project for the railroad. This solid 112 meter / 367 foot long Jugendstil building was Hamburg's presentation station at which such high guests as Kaiser Wilhelm II were received when he wanted to attend the Hamburg Trade Fair. When the Kaiser stepped off of his train here for the first time, he is supposed to have said, "Looks rather nice." Typical Prussian understatement meant as high praise. Special princely rooms on the ground floor had been set up for the reception of high royalty. The English King Edward VII was also received here in 1904. Based on a similar situation in Berlin, bi-level stations came into being through the city, when the four-track expansion of the connecting rail line was built. The waiting room area was at street level, while the platforms were situated above it. This did away with the need for grade crossings and crossing gates in the city. At the dedication on July 7, 1903, there was a simultaneous celebration of the closing of the old Dammtor Station and the opening of the new magnificent station shed. Today many Hamburgers and railroad enthusiasts regard this freshly renovated station now as ever as the Hamburg's secret main station. From the Kaiser's train to the classic F-Zug express with a V 200, to the elegant VT 11.5, from the legendary 103 with Intercity trains to the ICE, the prototype of our station has seen it all, the classics of the rails. It therefore also offers a worthy stage for the appearance of the classic stars of every model railroad collection. Despite its imposing size, this station is just right for a model railroad, since no additional space next to the tracks is required for the head house with its waiting rooms.
