Comment: The E 40 - Backbone of Freight Service. The class E 40/140 also came from the new procurement program of the Fifties. From a technical point of view, the class E 40 is a class E 10.1 modified for freight service. It had the same locomotive body, almost the same mechanical and electrical systems, but it differed in several features from its faster siblings. The class E 40 had no electric brakes, a different gear ratio, which meant a lower top speed, and a different roof with fewer ventilation grills. The classic chrome oxide green was chosen for the paint scheme; the elegant blue was kept only for express locomotives. The class E 40, from 1968 on designated as the class 140, was designed for medium heavy freight service, but it wandered into other types of service, particularly when the top speed was raised from 100 km/h / 63 mph to 110 km/h / 69 mph. It could be seen pulling "Silberlinge" commuter cars and during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich in S-Bahn service too. The main area of use remained and still is freight service. Like all other locomotives, the class E 40/140 underwent modernization programs, which changed the appearance of the locomotives markedly in addition to different paint schemes. Thirty one of the class E 40 locomotives were specially equipped with direct current resistance brakes for use on steep grades such as the Höllentalbahn or Valley of Hell Railroad. They were designated as the class E 40.11 and later starting in 1968 as the class 139. Later, the remaining class 139 locomotives were assembled together in Munich, where they were used along with the class 140 locomotives in service up to the Brenner Pass. The class E 40/140, with its sub-variations, was the locomotive type built in the largest quantities in the standard design program of the new German Federal Railroad. A total of 879 units were mainly responsible for medium heavy freight service over a period of decades. Except for a few locomotives, they are in the process of being retired or are already completely retired.

Highlights:

Packaged in a decorative wooden case.

Comment: In June of 1863, the Royal Bavarian State Railways (K.Bay.Sts.B.) placed the first 2-4-0 express locomotives into service, the new class B VI. In many respects they were the same as the predecessor model class B V such as the heating surface, the grate area, cylinders, etc. The improved double outboard frame and the -Bavarian version of Stephenson valve gear were also approximately the same. One essential difference was the driving wheel diameter, which initially was 1,600 millimeters / 63 inches, on later deliveries 1,620 millimeters / 63-3/4 inches, and some even were 1,640 millimeters / 64-9/16". A total of 107 units were delivered to the Bavarian State Railways in two production runs by June of 1871. The 57 steam locomotives delivered from June of 1863 to February of 1867 in the first production run only had a boiler pressure of 8 atmospheres / 117 pounds per square inch, a dead load safety valve on the dome that had a watering can casing, a simple protective roof for the engineer`s stand (later also with an all weather roof), a steam pump, and an injector. The smoke stack was just a stack with a bell-shaped crown, cylindrical stacks, or pear-shaped stacks. The second production run of 50 units was considerably more advanced: The boiler pressure had been raised to 10 atmospheres / 147 pounds per square inch. The necessarily higher boiler weight also resulted in improved traction. The weight increased from 22 to almost 23 tons. The weather "umbrella" that was totally insufficient for the locomotive crew was replaced by a short but complete engineer`s cab. The pumps had disappeared since the injectors had proven sufficient in operation. A funnel-shaped smoke stack of a moderate shape lent a certain degree of standardization and had been preceded by different experiments with other stack shapes. Both production runs were designed for either coal firing or peat firing. The coal-fired locomotives had a three-axle open tender, while the peat-fired units were equipped with a newly designed, three-axle enclosed tender with smooth walls. Naturally, there were several rebuilds during the long service life of the class B VI in which primarily the units of the first production run were brought up to the level of the second production run. After being placed into service the class B VI locomotives were assigned to the greatest part of the express train service at that time over a period of ten years. However, their "swiftness" was kept within limits, because the speed reached was just barely more than 60 km/h or 38 mph. When more powerful steam locomotives appeared starting in the 1890s, the B VI gradually moved down into lower levels of service. The first few units were retired starting in 1895. In closing it can be said of the class B VI: They were indestructible, long lived, and well proven units of which quite a few reached a service life of over 50 years.

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 quickly and easily at stops. 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. 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 they are clearly leaving their stamp on passenger service in the Netherlands with their unusual appearance.

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.

The fluted walls on the locomotive serve to reduce weight and also give the locomotive a striking appearance on the sides. In addition to the four required type SBS 2T pantographs, the roof also has the AC main relay, the current system selection relay, and the lightening arrester. These components had to be mounted externally to allow enough space in the engine room for the direct current components and for train safety systems, which vary from country to country.

This model can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 39860.

Comment: VT 95.9 with the VB 140 (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.

Comment: Company History of the Pewter Figure Manufacturer Ernst Heinrichsen, Nürnberg. From 1839 to 1938, 3 generations of the Heinrichsen Family (Ernst, Wilhelm, and Ernst Wilhelm) created an inventory of about 16,000 molds for pewter figures, half of which were done after 1900 for "culture historical" 30 mm / 1-3/16" figures. It is a special stroke of luck to consider that not only (almost!) all of the molds but also complete documentation survived all of the wars in the company's archives and are still accessible to us today. The company founder Ernst Carl Peter Heinrichsen was born in 1808 in Silesia and began an apprenticeship there as a pewter smith. In 1822, he went tramping with his certificate of apprenticeship and came in 1826 or 1827 to Nürnberg. Here he first found work with the pewter smith Ammon, where he chiefly made slate molds for pewter figures. Starting in 1832 Ernst Heinrichsen worked as an independent engraver and produced steel dies for goldsmiths, all kinds of tools for pressing knife handles as well as brass plates for bookbinders, who used them to decorate wallets, albums, or song books. In addition, he engraved signet rings. Although he was successful in this profession, Ernst Heinrichsen once again went back to the profession for which he had studied. He was granted a license on September 6, 1839 from the municipal council in Nürnberg for the "casting of leaden children's toys made of so-called fast Rose'schen liquid metals". Wilhelm Heinrichsen was born as his first child in 1834. He was less artistically minded, but with a certain business flair, he brought the company to an economic high point after he had taken over responsibility for the business in 1869 from his father. While Ernst Heinrichsen mainly developed molds for pewter figures that illustrated current events, Wilhelm Heinrichsen took up the representation of historic events in the Eighties of the 19th century. He engaged renowned artists for the designs for these series. At the start of the 20th century Wilhelm's son Ernst Wilhelm (1867-1938) took over the company. At this time pewter figures changed from toys to collector items, whereby production was concentrated almost exclusively on the 30 mm / 1-3/16" size figure. In the process, other requirements were placed on the accuracy of the representation. Ernst Wilhelm Heinrichsen engaged famous artists to work for him in order to be able to offer so-called "culture-historical figures". In 1981, the first "new editions" from the historic molds appeared under the management of the 6th generation of the family. The figures were sold directly by mail order by Ernst Heinrichsen. The Hofmann shop (formerly Schiller Pewter Models) that had been in Nürnberg since 1979 and that had sold Heinrichsen figures, closed in December of 2010. However you can still pick up pre-ordered figures in Nürnberg.
