Comment: "The Train of the Stars" ? The Super Chief. When the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) introduced its new "streamliner train", the "City of Los Angeles" in 1936 (Chicago ? Los Angeles), the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe) countered with its own deluxe train, the "Super Chief", as early as May 12, 1936. This very first "Super Chief" initially still consisted of heavyweight Pullman cars, because the new streamline stainless steel lightweight cars were still under construction at the Budd Company. This new super train was to be pulled at the same time by new diesel locomotives, also with streamlined styling. In May of 1937 it was finally done: Budd presented a "streamliner" train as an all-Pullman sleeping car train, without competition in style, design, and luxury. The famous designed Sterling McDonald found expression in the interior details the longstanding relation between the railroad and the Indians of the Southwest. Whenever possible McDonald made use of authentic Indian colors such as turquois and copper, samples and even authentic wall murals and paintings. In addition, he integrated as decorative elements a combination of rare and exotic woods such as ebony, teak, satinwood, bubinga, and Macassar, which gave the Super Chief an additional air of extravagant elegance. A new train naturally needed new, elegant locomotive, which were delivered at the same time by General Motors EMD in the form of the E-1 diesel models with a streamlined hood. A new color scheme was used for the first time here in red, yellow, and silver ? later designated as the "Warbonnet" design, which was supposed to symbolize the headdress of an Indian with waving feathers. A speed record that still stands was reached on the Santa Fe during a test run even before the scheduled introduction of the new Super Chief to regular service. The 3,584.5 kilometer / 2,240.3 mile long route Chicago ? Los Angeles was covered on freshly renewed track in 36 hours and 20 minutes with an average speed of 97 km/h / 60 mph and peak speeds of 160 km/h / 100 mph. The scheduled travel time was 39 hours and 45 minutes. The extra fare Super Chief quickly developed into an extremely exclusive and super comfortable shuttle train for Hollywood Greats, who commuted from New York's Broadway to Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and who let themselves be pampered to and from Chicago in the luxurious prestige train of the Santa Fe. The list of passengers read like a "Who's Who" in Hollywood, which included among others Frank Sinatra, Zero Mostel, Janet Leigh, Ella Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Gloria Swanson, Alan Ladd, Vincent Price, Margaret Truman, and many others. The special attraction of the train was of course the five star meals prepared by top chefs as well as its other first class services. In addition to engineer's, conductors, and brakemen, sleeping car conductors, luggage porters, dining car stewards, waiters, chefs, bartenders, lounge attendants, hair dressers, and other service personnel together with two squads of cleaners and maintenance teams provided for the welfare of the passengers. At the start of the Fifties and well into the second half of the Sixties, the famous class F7 diesel locomotives pulled the Super Chief. These locomotives were also in the "Warbonnet" design. The train was able to maintain its extremely high quality of service right up to the end of passenger trains on the Santa Fe on May 1, 1971. After that, the government owned Amtrak took over passenger train service in the USA and used the legendary name for another three years. Santa Fe took away the right to continue using the name due to the extreme deterioration of the quality of service under Amtrak management. Therefore, the train ran initially as the Southwest Limited and after a compromise between Amtrak and Santa Fe it has been run as the Southwest Chief.

Comment: Powered Rail Car Train Pioneer. In 1914, the KPEV purchased a total of 6 three-unit powered rail car trains for the route in Silesia between Nieder Salzbrunn and Halbstadt with its many grades. These 6 trains were acquired to better manage the constantly increasing passenger volumes in this region. These rail car trains were initially designated as the E.T. 501-506, and they had a visually striking design that was based in part on the express train passenger cars commonly in use at that time with their clerestories, truss rods, and inset doors. The paint scheme in green/beige followed KPEV practice. The motor car located between the two cab control cars ensured good running characteristics on routes with curves. Since the passenger volumes into what was now Czechoslovakian Halbstadt almost died off after World War I, these rail car trains were used on other routes. These trains were subsequently taken into the DRG roster and painted in the cream/red scheme for powered rail cars at that time. After World War II, three of these trains came to Bavaria and were used there until 1959. The long years of service are proof of the successful and durable design from the pioneer days of rail car trains.

Comment: The "Koploper". In the mid-Seventies, the Dutch State Railways needed new material to modernize its express passenger service. Trains with flexible utilization are required in this densely populated country in order to manage service in the urban areas. As a result, from 1977 to 1994, a total of 144 powered rail cars, the "Koploper" family, were placed into service. These powered rail cars could be separated and coupled at stops quickly and easily. It also became important that passengers be able to change from one unit to the other, when the train was in motion. The engineer's cabs were thus quickly raised up one level and these powered rail cars were equipped with crossovers at the ends. This feature gives the "Koplopers" a brawny, unusual look. The "Koplopers" were built by the firms Talbot, CEM Oerlikon, and Holec, and were designated by the Dutch State Railways as the classes 4000 and 4200, which differed from one another in their motors, among other things. A short while ago the "Koplopers" underwent modernization and were equipped with air conditioning and facilities for handicapped people. These powered rail cars can reach 160 km/h / 100 mph and are run in the classic NS paint scheme, but they have also been used as advertising surfaces such as for the Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing. The "Koplopers" are certainly a successful development in rail vehicle technology and their unusual appearance is clearly leaving its mark on passenger service in the Netherlands.

This model can be found in a DC version in the Trix H0 assortment under item number 22262.

Comment: 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 it 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 into 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 won a contest against an English locomotive with a 10 minute head start. From this day the victorious path of Borsig locomotive building began that did not end until 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 be 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 characteristic 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 Ore Railroad Lule† ? Gällivare ? Kiruna ? Narvik As early as the mid-18th century, iron ore was being dug in the area around the north Swedish cities of Gällivare and Kiruna and was extremely sought after all over the world because of its high iron content. Starting in 1860, the companies involved in mining the ore were looking for new ways to ensure efficient transport of their ore to the harbors of Lule† in Sweden and Narvik in Norway. Indeed, the railroad seemed "the" suitable means of transport, but initially large investments had to be made. All the same, in 1888 the 202 kilometer / 126 mile long route Gällivare ? Lule† was placed into operation. Several of the firms involved in the construction of the railroad had gone bankrupt in the meantime and so the government stepped in. On October 24, 1890, the state-owned Luossavaara Kirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) was established which took the finished and the still to be constructed ore railroad under its wing. The route was extended from Gällivare to Kiruna by 1899. Due to the long transport route to Lule† and the icing up of the harbor in the winter, this was not a satisfactory solution for the long term. On September 26, 1902, the gap was closed with "fireworks and artillery shells" and there were extensive celebrations. Through impassable, almost hostile territory, the route now ran 269 kilometers / 168 miles from Gällivare to Narvik. The section from Riksgränsen on the back of the Caledonian mountain chain to Narvik on the Ofot Fjord was a special challenge: Here an elevation difference of 520 meters / 1,706 feet along steep mountainsides had to be overcome with a section of rail line 40 kilometers / 25 miles in length. The first ore train from Gällivare to Narvik ran on November 13, 1902. From November 24, 1902 on the Norwegian and Swedish State Railways finally began regular service with three ore trains per day. The official opening by the Swedish King Oscar II took place on July 14, 1903. Today this ore line combines several superlatives: It runs from Lule† in Sweden on the Gulf of Bothnia in a northwesterly direction to the iron ore mine areas of Gällivare and Kiruna above the Arctic Circle and further to the Norwegian harbor of Narvik. It is the most northerly route linked to the rest of the European rail network. In addition, the station at Narvik at 68ø26' latitude north is the most northerly rail terminal that can be reached in Western Europe for passenger service. As early as 1911 the increasing transport demands required electrification of the Swedish section of the line. Ten years later the Norwegian State Railways also followed suit and from 1922 on electric locomotives were hauling the 1,900 ton heavy ore trains continuously. World War II caused a great deal of destruction with the heavy battles around Narvik. Yet, after the end of the war reconstruction commenced immediately. In 1996, LKAB took over handling the ore traffic including transport. In addition to placing new ore cars into service, it also initially purchased from Adtranz nine twelve-axle double locomotives (IORE) that took over operations in succession starting at the end of 2000. The IORE units beat the Dm3 units in use by far with a performance of 10,800 kilowatts / 14,483 horsepower, a total weight of 360 tons, and a length of 45.8 meters / 150 feet 3 inches. Ore trains with an impressive 7,800 ton hauling capacity are pulled today with these new locomotives. Another eight IORE double locomotives have been ordered in the meantime, the last of them to be delivered starting in May of 2013. This means the final departure for the former kings of the ore line.

Comment: The DB Class 41 with the Older Design Boiler The class 41 fast freight locomotive was part of the late developments in the German State Railroad's (DRG) standardized locomotive program. Different components were identical with the classes 06 and 45 developed at about the same time. A special design feature of the class 41 was also common to these other locomotives: Their wheel load could be set either at 18 or 20 metric tons in order to ensure wider use. The frame was a new development but the boiler was the same as on the class 03. The St47K had to be used as the material for the boiler due to the higher boiler pressure of 20 atmospheres or 290 pounds pressure per square inch. The Berlin Machinery Builder, Inc., formerly Louis Schwartzkopff, delivered the two sample units, road numbers 41 001 and 002, in 1936. These units were tested extensively. From 1938 on they were followed by 364 regular production locomotives that were improved somewhat and that were delivered by almost all of the German locomotive builders by 1941. Due to World War II, the DRG canceled another 70 locomotives already ordered and replaced them with the transition war designs and war design locomotives. As with other locomotives, the St47K boiler on the class 41 exhibited after a few years traces of metal fatigue since this boiler material was not resistant to aging and became susceptible to breakage at weld points. For that reason, the boiler pressure was initially reduced to 16 atmospheres or 232 pounds of pressure per square inch starting in the fall of 1941. Furthermore, the DRG purchased a total of 40 replacement boilers in 1943/44 that were made of the much more durable St34 boiler material. After World War II, there were 220 locomotives on the DB's roster and 124 on the GDR's German State Railroad (DR) roster. Since both government railroads could not do without the class 41, numerous units were equipped with new boilers. On the DB 102 units were rebuilt and equipped with welded, high-performance boiler with a combustion chamber. Moreover, 40 units were converted to oil firing. On the units not rebuilt boiler damage could be kept within limits by not exceeding the lowered boiler pressure. Improved welding techniques in the meantime took care of the problems for the most part. The class 41 units with the older design boiler were retired for the most part in the Sixties and only a few units lasted until the computer renumbering system change to the class 041 in 1968. Road numbers 041 253 and 334 were stored at the maintenance facility at Cologne-Eifeltor in September of 1970 and were retired on November 27, 1970.

Comment: Class E 41 - The Firecracker of the German Federal Railroad. A total of 451 class E 41 locomotives were purchased between 1956 and 1971. For several decades, they left their stamp on more than just the commuter service from the Bavarian Alps to the German coast. This successful design can be considered as a general-purpose locomotive, since it was used as motive power for practically every kind of train service during its long service life. It did not last long in the rigorous S-Bahn service, because it did not have electric brakes required for it. Its traditional task remained commuter service, in particular in push/pull operation with "Silberlinge / Silver Coins" commuter cars. Due to the required low axle load distributed over 2 two-axle trucks, the E 41 could be used with no problem on electrified branch lines. The 4 traction motors on the locomotive represented a further development of the ET 30, and the Siemens-Schuckert Plant / SSW was responsible for the drive gear. They equipped the E 41 like the other standard design locomotives with a rubber ring drive gear system. The oil-cooled transformer was equipped with a relay layout on the low voltage side, which was the source of a characteristic noise on the class E 41. This locomotive soon picked up its nicknames "Champagne Cork" or "Firecracker" on the German Federal Railroad. More than a few railroad passengers, upon hearing this sound, thought the locomotive was damaged and were more or less irritated about it. The maximum speed for this 15.62 meter / 51 foot 3 inch long locomotive was 120 km/h / 75 mph. When the German Federal Railroad raised the maximum speed for express trains at the end off the Fifties to 140 km/h / 88 mph, E 41 locomotives coming after that were only painted in green, since the elegant blue was reserved only for fast locomotives in long distance service. During its entire service life, the class E 41, from 1968 on the "141", had double-arm pantographs. Otherwise, it changed externally as the result of rebuilding and ran in Germany from the Alps to the North with three or five lights at each end, with or without rain gutters, with rounded or square cooling vents and in the color schemes that changed over time. The train safety systems were also adapted along the way and the "firecracker" was considered a proven, reliable design right up to the end of its service.

Comment: SOO Line F7 with a Caboose. The class F7/FP7 "Bulldogs" from General Motors EMD built between 1949 and 1953 developed into a real sales hit on American railroads. Here the saying was proven that it is simpler to count the railroads that did not buy the F7 than it is to remember which ones had the F7 in service. The F7s were everywhere! Fifty railroads bought the F7 new and more than 75 North American railroads had them in service over the years. Their classification "F" (= freight) certainly showed the original intended purpose at EMD chiefly in freight service, but due to its existing heating boiler for steam heat the F7 initially developed into the classic diesel locomotive in American passenger service in the Fifties. The F7 had 1,500 horsepower and 4,221 units were built. They were divided into three sub-classes: The F7A with a cab at one end came to 2,366 units, the cab-less F7B reached 1,483 units, and the lengthened FP7 equipped with a larger water tank for the steam heat came in at 372 units. It was thus no wonder that the rather unknown Soo Line Railroad also had several of the F7 series on its roster. More precisely, it was 26 F7A units, 6 F7B units, and 6 FP7 units. Two units have remained preserved: FP7 road number 500 as a memorial locomotive in Ladysmith, WI and FP7 road number 2500 as an operational museum locomotive at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, MN. The history of the Soo Line Railroad is interesting: Prominent business people from Minneapolis founded the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie and Atlantic Railroad in 1883. It quickly became the Soo Line due to the pronunciation of "Sault". The Soo Line was planned as a railroad to transport the grain products from Minnesota's farmers and mills und quickly to eastern markets. The line was renamed Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad as early as 1888 and the route network was gradually expanded throughout the upper Midwest to Canada. In 1909, the Soo Line took over the Wisconsin Central Railway in the form of a least agreement. Finally, in 1961 the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad merged officially with the Wisconsin Central Railway and the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad under the new name Soo Line Railroad. In 1985, the Soo Line acquired the remainder to the bankrupt Milwaukee Road. In the Nineties, the Canadian Pacific Railway as a shareholder of many years took over the railroad completely and ended its existence as an independent business.

Comment: VT 95.9 with the VB 142 (Rail Bus and Trailer Car) The first rail buses arose from the desire as early as the Thirties to develop lightweight, modest vehicles that made use of parts and assemblies from trucks and street buses. Soon after the end of World War II, the German Federal Railroad recognized that operations on many uneconomical branch lines could be maintained against the growing competition on the roads only through the extensive use of such rail buses. In 1949, the car builder Uerdingen was therefore awarded the contract to develop such a vehicle. Eleven prototypes were placed into operation between March and August of 1950. The similarity to street buses was unmistakable. A wheelbase of 4,500 mm / 14 feet 9 inches, lightweight shock absorbers, as well as a truck trailer coupling were characteristic features. A Büssing motor with 110 horsepower output connected to a mechanical six-speed transmission mounted below the floor provided the drive system to one wheel set. Road number VT 95 912 (later VT 95 9112) came in November of 1950 and was the last, above all groundbreaking pre-production unit. Special permission from the transport minister allowed the wheelbase on this rail bus to be lengthened to 6,000 mm / 19 feet 8 inches. Sufficient seating room was now available thanks to the lengthening of the car body. After exhaustive testing an entire family of rail buses came into being in the Fifties. A first series of 60 units of the single-motor VT 95 rolled out from the builders starting in 1952. The fixed wheelbase of 6,000 mm / 19 feet 8 inches remained but otherwise there several changes. The ends were now ellipsoidal in shape and were equipped with curved skylight windows. The skylight windows were done away with on later series. Three-part folding doors on the car ends allowed passengers to get on and off quickly. The short wheelbase of 4,500 mm / 14 feet 9 inches was kept on the accompanying trailer car, the class VB 140 (not designated as the class VB 142 until the end of 1953), but their shape was adapted to that of the motor cars. Lightweight Scharfenberg couplers now transferred the tractive and impact forces. Sprung shock absorber bales served elastically to absorb gentle contact with normal buffers. By 1955 five additional series with a total of 496 rail buses followed the first one, whereby the performance was continuously increased with the installation of 130 and later 150 horsepower motors. The DB finally replaced steam locomotives on numerous branch lines with these units, because operations on many lines could only be maintained at all with the extremely economical operation of the rail buses. The single-motor rail buses (from 1968 on the class 795) were retired in large numbers starting in the mid-Seventies. The last one, road number 795 445, was pulled from service in 1983. Numerous 795 rail buses found a new lease on life in other countries and in Germany on museum railroads of course. Road number 795 240 (former VT 95 9240) belongs to the DB's museum roster.
