Comment: 100 Years of the Crocodile - The Heraldic Animal of MärklinA hundred years ago, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) placed the first "Crocodile" into operation in November of 1919. These locomotives quickly advanced to the king of the steep grades on the Gotthard. The design derived its name from its articulated hoods, extended shape, and the green paint scheme. The units "snaked" like a reptile through the curves on turnouts and reverse curves."Standard gauge six-axle locomotive, only for large curves, faithful reproduction of the 'Crocodile Locomotive' ..." was the way the model of the latest Swiss locomotive was presented in the Märklin catalog for 1933/34.The design and pulling power of the original locomotive impressed people so much at that time that it became a synonym for progress and power. A mystique that continued through the history of Märklin. This unit was in all of the scales offered by Märklin.At first in 1 and 0 Gauge, then in H0 and even in Mini-Club Z Gauge. It formed the top item offered everywhere in the assortment and thus became the unofficial "heraldic animal" of Märklin.The color green dominated over the longest period of its use on the Gotthard grades and people almost forgot its original color of brown. Märklin did not bring it out in brown on the market until 1984, as an offering for the 125th company anniversary, a "Crocodile" in a limited quantity, in 1 Gauge.By contrast, there never was a "Crocodile" in white in real life. Despite this a large dealer in New York ordered several units of large 0 Gauge locomotives in special paint schemes. He chose the color white that was completely untypical in the prototype. It cannot be denied that locomotives in these imaginary paint schemes have a special effect on observers. Despite this for unknown reasons, there was only this single order. This made these locomotives unique pieces seen by only a few people. Amazingly, they became very well known in collector circles. The white Crocodile thus became a part of the exclusive 31859 anniversary set in 2009 for the 150th anniversary of Märklin.In this tradition, we want to make 2019 unforgettable in which Märklin for its 160th anniversary crowns this proud heraldic animal in the popular H0 Gauge with a unique gold edition.

Comment: Marklin items:36182+47130+47131 - The MRCE Vectron and Hauling Away Excavated Earth from S 21The German Railroad has to manage large tasks on the big project Stuttgart 21. Among them are the approximately 20 million metric tons of excavated earth that have to be hauled away from the big construction site. To do this, the DB set up a special loading terminal in the Stuttgart North freight yard for transport of excavation material. The loading at Stuttgart North also forms the crux of the entire concept, because each train must be loaded here, made up correctly, and inspected as well as the train's paperwork finished before the run can start. In the process, the DB uses only containers as a means of transport since this enables trouble-free handling and easy transport by truck to the landfills. By contrast, using dump cars would limit disposal to only a few landfill sites with their own railroad sidings. The excavation trains usually consist of 20 each container transport cars, each car loaded with two containers. At peak times, the DB leases up to 400 container cars from AAE Cargo (Ahaus Alstätter Eisenbahn Cargo, Inc.). For the most part, type Sgmmnss 40 four-axle short flat cars are used, but type Sgns flat cars can also be seen. For motive power for these trains the DB has also leased Vectron electric locomotives from MRCE, the class X4E (= class 193).The overwhelming number of excavation trains go to trans-loading points at Wilhelmsglück, Deisslingen, Nordhausen, and Röblingen am See. At peak times, up to 13 trains a day leave the loading terminal at Stuttgart North - a gigantic logistical task in the greater Stuttgart area. In Wilhelmsglück (near Schwäbisch Hall), the firm Leonhard Weiss is filling in a former quarry, whereby here the handling is done with a "Reach Stacker" on the truck directly at the siding location Wilhelmsglück. The handling of containers at the siding location Knauf in Deisslingen on the line Rottweil - Villingen is done by two "Reach Stackers", whereby the containers only have to go another few hundred meters by truck. There a former gypsum quarry of the firm Knauf is waiting to be filled, whereby a natural marvel is to be filled with up to 1.5 million metric tons of excavation material. The first excavation trains from Stuttgart had Nordhausen in Thuringia as a destination. Some of the containers were taken directly to Nordhausen (connection point a gravel plant), while others were hauled to Niedersachswerfen. There the Kohnstein Mine, Inc. also uses the material for filling. The location Amsdorf is served via the Röblingen am See Station (Saxony-Anhalt). In Röblingen am See the firm Romonta has its own siding, where handling to trucks is done with "Reach Stackers", which transport the excavated material to stabilize surface mining in Amsdorf.

Comment: For a long time, railroad passengers had to wait for new locomotives and rolling stock in long-distance service, but on September 23, 2015, movement finally came into the next generation of IC trains. The bi-level ICs from Bombardier were given provisional authorization by the EBA. As part of a press event several days later at the Potsdam station "Park Sanssouci", the DB AG presented the first bi-level, five-part Intercity to the public under the new slogan "IC 2". It was initially pulled by class 146.5 electric locomotives. Conceptually, the bi-level IC trains have been planned from the TWINDEXX series for the so-called edge network of long-distance service. These connections are certainly subject to weaker demand but they do represent important feeder services into the core network connecting metropolitan regions. A maximum speed of 160 km/h / 100 mph appeared sufficient since higher speeds cannot be run for long periods on many of the potential routes anyway.Starting with the annual schedule for 2019, the five-part, bi-level IC will also be running - handled moreover operationally as powered rail car trains - between Nürnberg and Munich, and Karlsruhe as well as between Stuttgart and Singen. Here the new class 147.5 TRAXX units will be serving as motive power. They are essentially the same as the class 147.0 (TRAXX P160 AC3) - naturally now with the long-distance service paint scheme. They are derived from the TRAXX 3 version from Bombardier first presented in 2011 and reworked further with extensive changes in particular to the trucks as well as an improved locomotive body. Road numbers 147 551-567 are also authorized for use in Switzerland and are available to the DB Long Distance Group for IC 2 service between Stuttgart and Singen.

Comment: After delivery of four test locomotives of the new class E 03 (starting in 1968: 103.0) regular production was done starting in 1969 for the InterCity service (IC 71) planned to begin in 1971, but with new specifications. The effective load for TEE and IC trains at speeds of 200 km/h / 125 mph increased from 300 to 480 metric tons, and 800 metric ton D-Zug express trains had to be able to run at 160 km/h / 100 mph. The 145 regular production locomotives - now designated as the class 103.1 - had a basic design that followed that of the prototypes with a bridge frame, locomotive body consisting of five segments, and three-axle trucks. The same end shape was taken from the pre-production locomotives. The most striking thing externally was the doubling of the ventilation openings by a second five-part row of vent grills in the lower half of the side walls. This was caused by a larger air intake due to the greater performance of the locomotive. With a main transformer adjusted for maximum performance (continuous tractive effort output of 6,250 kilovolt amps) and type WBM 368/17f lightweight traction motors with a continuous rating of 1,240 kilowatts the result was a full increase in performance of 25.3% compared to the prototypes - an impressive 7,440 kilowatts or 10,116 horsepower. The last thirty units (road numbers 103 216-245) were equipped with a frame lengthened by 700 mm / 27-1/2" with larger cabs in order to realize the increase in size of the cramped cabs requested urgently by locomotive engineers. After being delivered in the years 1970 to 1974 the class 103.1 units immediately took over the new IC trains as well as the prestigious TEE trains that had now been partially integrated into the new IC network. Initially, the regular production units up to road number 103 215 were equipped with type DBS 54a double arm pantographs and type WB 15 Wanisch contact strips as well as upper arm shock absorbers. Yet this special design done for 200 km/h / 125 mph did not turn out well over time and caused catenary damage to the DB as well as the ÖBB network. The cause was thought to be contact pressure above the permissible 120 kilo-Newton / 26.97 kilo-pound force. The interim solution initially was partial replacement of the defective pantographs with the standard design type DBS 54 with a standard contact strip designed for a maximum speed of 160 km/h / 100 mph. Conversely, the last 30 units (road numbers 103 216-245) left the builder equipped with the single-arm type SBS 65 pantographs developed to production status in the meantime. Road numbers 103 101-215 were also supposed to be equipped with these single-arm pantographs, but the industry could not deliver such a quantity on such short notice. The DB thus decided on a more unconventional path and starting in 1975/76 had the "old" DBS 54 pantographs and still existing DBS 54a pantographs of the first production locomotives replaced by the SBS 65 single-arm pantographs of the class 111 just being delivered that was only 150 km/h / 94 mph fast. Several class 103 units were also equipped with the subsequently developed SBS 67, whose new design differed from the SBS 65 only in a larger spacing of the contact strips (400 instead of 350 mm / 15-3/4" instead of 13-3/4").

Comment: With some luck it was also an elegant steam locomotive from the class 01.5, the swan song of steam locomotive reconstructions by the German State Railroad (DR) of the GDR. A total of 35 units of the class 01 underwent extensive reconstruction at the beginning of the Sixties. Initially, only the installation of a new welded boiler was planned, but the condition of the locomotives selected finally forced extensive conversions that in many parts made new locomotives out of the units. The maintenance facility in Halberstadt delivered the "Reko" boilers, and they were installed at the maintenance facility in Meiningen. During the rebuilding program the boiler was placed higher, continuous dome streamlining adorned the top of the boiler, and the cabs were replaced by a new welded version. The locomotives rebuilt in this way had hardly anything in common with their original look. After the rebuilding program, these units were therefore given the new class designation of 01.5. Beginning with road number 01 519 (rebuilt in 1964) the locomotives were equipped with oil firing, and the remaining units were converted accordingly in 1965/66. Only six locomotives kept grate type firing. Ten locomotives were equipped at times with Boxpok wheels.

Comment: V 320 001 with D 96 "Isar-Rh“ne"As early as 1956, the firm Henschel began at its own cost design and construction in cooperation with the DB's central office in Munich of what is still the largest and most powerful diesel hydraulic locomotive in Europe. Henschel was able to reach back to valuable experience with export locomotives in the development of this giant. Apart from that, with road number V 320 001 use was made of the proven technique to install two 1,900 horsepower motors in this big unit from the newly built V 160. However, the three-axle trucks were completely new. In view of the maximum speed of 160 km/h / 100 mph, the wheelsets were given the unusually large diameter of 1,100 mm / 43-5/16". A switching device activated, when the locomotive was stopped, allowed the assignment of the combination of high speed (160 km/h / 100 mph) with lower pulling power (express trains) or low speed (100 km/h / 63 mph) with higher pulling power (freight trains). The modern, angular design of its ends pointed the way for all future DB diesel locomotives. The proud 23 meter / 75 foot 5-1/2 inch length, the fat fuel tanks on the underside of the frame, and an impressive number of adjustable ventilation grills gave it a reptilian elegance behind which the two motor layouts hummed. With its 122 metric tons of iron and steel distributed over six wheelsets, it could definitely be described as a monster - but a really beautiful monster!Due to high capacity utilization at Henschel, road number V 320 001 could not be delivered until 1962. Initially, extended measurement and test runs were done with the unit. Starting in 1963, it went into the DB roster as a lease locomotive and it was initially based at Hamm. In 1965, the class V 320 moved to Kempten and chiefly hauled heavy express trains between Munich and Lindau. There it quickly demonstrated how extremely suitable it was for heavy international express trains and the shop crews were full of praise for its performance reserves. The D 96 "Rh“ne-Isar" (Munich - Lindau - Zürich - Geneva) with a consist of usually eight cars formed one of its star trains. The DB as well as the SBB ran their latest rolling stock in it. The DB provided three types of the 26.4 meter / 86 foot 7-5/16" cars first bought in 1961/63, namely a type AB4üm-63 (compartment car, 1st/2nd class), two or three type B4üm-63 (compartment car, 2nd class), and a type BRbu4üm-61 half dining car (2nd class). The SBB reciprocated with its Mark I standard design cars (Mk 1) in lightweight steel construction with two type B cars (2nd class), a type A car (1st class), and a type D baggage car.In 1974, the DB ended the lease agreement with the class V 320 (starting in 1968: class 232) and gave it back to the builder. Henschel ran the unit through a major overhaul and sold it in April of 1976 to the Hersfeld County Railroad, where it was used until 1988. After that, the locomotive came to the Teutoburg Forest Railroad (TWE). After its deadline for maintenance came in 1992, it disappeared to Italy to earn its living in construction train service. This appeared to seal the fate of this highly interesting unit, but in 1999 came its spectacular importation back to Germany by the track construction firm WIEBE. After an extensive overhaul and the installation of new motors, it had been running since March of 2000 on German rails again, now designated as road number 320 001-1 (WIEBE 7), until wheelset bearing damage in 2015 ended its use forever. Since 2017, it has enriched the builder's plant in Kassel (now Bombardier) as a showpiece.

Comment: In 1919, the Swiss industry delivered four test locomotives for various uses to be selected as suitable units for electric operation on the Gotthard. At that time, a distinction was still made for electric locomotives among freight, express, and passenger units. Standardized locomotives in the present sense did not exist yet. The Swiss Locomotive and Machinery Company (SLM) provided the mechanical part on all four locomotives, while the Machinery Company of Oerlikon (MFO) was responsible for the electrical part on road numbers Be 4/6 11301 and Be 3/5 11201. BBC of Baden provided that part on road numbers Be 4/6 11302 and Fc 2x3/4 (later road number Ce 6/8I) 12201.Road number 12201 (later 14201) was a 2-6-6-2 freight locomotive taking specifically into account the route characteristics on the Gotthard. It could pull a maximum load of 860 metric tons on a grade of up to 1.2%. Its locomotive body rode on two three-axle power trucks, each of which was driven by two traction motors by means of jackshafts, driving rods, and side rods. Originally planned only as a six-axle unit, the electrical part turned out to be so heavy that two additional pilot wheel sets as well as small hoods became necessary. Due to these hoods, the unit was quickly given the nickname "Köfferli-Lok" / "Little Suitcases Locomotive", but "Schlotterbeck" or (approximately) "Shuttering Tank" also gained popularity due to its rough riding.On July 7, 1919, road number Fc 2x3/4 12201 was delivered as the fourth and last test locomotive and was initially tested from the Bern Depot. After a relatively long trial period, it went into regular scheduled use in December of 1919 between Bern and Spiez pulling passenger and freight trains. In March of 1921, it was moved to the Gotthard, where it ran along with the Ce 6/8II (Crocodile) in the latter's schedules from the Erstfeld Depot. Starting in 1925, it was based at the Biasca Depot and did mostly pulling work until 1930 to Airolo at the south portal of the Gotthard Tunnel. After another interval at the Erstfeld Depot, it went in 1938 to Basle having proved itself in heavy freight train service. With increasingly scarce use being made of it by 1967, it was pulled from normal service. As an historic one-of-a-kind, however it was in line for preservation and was assigned to the Bern Depot for brake testing. A brilliantly executed overhaul of the running gear in 1968 at the main shops in Yverdon suddenly gave this veteran better running characteristics than ever before. After a running performance of around 2,500,000 kilometers / 1,562,500 miles, this locomotive was finally retired at the end of May 1982 as the last Gotthard prototype.

Comment: The fourth ICE generation started at the end of 2016 with initially two twelve-part units in the testing and introduction phase. The ICE 4 (class 412) built by Siemens in cooperation with Bombardier is designed for use on lines with strong demand. In the future, it is supposed to replace urgently in succession the ICE 1 and ICE 2 and thus become the future backbone of the long-distance fleet. As a powered rail car train, the ICE 4 is set up for the greatest possible level of adaptability. An essential requirement for this are the so-called powered cars, where the main propulsion and current supply components such as transformers, traction current converters, traction cooling equipment, and the four traction motors are constructed identically and mounted beneath the car body. At present, the twelve-part trains being delivered consist of six "power cars", the dining car, the service car, two unpowered intermediate cars, and the two end control cars. The ICE 4 cars at 27.9 meters / 91 feet are somewhat longer than the previous ICE types at 26.4 meters / 86 feet. In conjunction with a new seating system, a larger seating capacity could be created while keeping the same legroom and creating more storage space for baggage.Despite its high seating capacity, the ICE 4 is comparably lighter, since both its modular features, the lighter trucks with inboard mounting, the powered trucks optimally designed for weight, and the further development of aerodynamic design provide savings in weight and energy. Compared to its predecessors, it needs up to 22% less energy. The non-powered trucks further developed from the Bombardier type FLEXX Eco with their low unsprung mass and very low weight contribute to a low energy consumption design and the option to apply streamlined skirting to them. By contrast, the sturdy powered trucks on the ICE 4 is a further development of the proven SF 500 family from Siemens and they fulfill the high requirements for bearing load and propulsion power. The electronic train control comes from SIBAS PN, the innovative railroad automation system from Siemens. This system hierarchically consists of the two levels ETB Train Bus (Ethernet Train Bus) with the various control components as well as the conventional train control (control lines, contactors, switches) and the train bus PROFINET, whereby everything is designed with redundancy.After several changes of contract, the DB ordered 1,511 ICE 4 cars, which were assembled into 50 twelve-part and 50 thirteen-part (seven power cars) as well as 37 seven-part (three power cars) trains. Two remaining end control cars are planned as reserve units. The ICE 4 trains are designed for a maximum speed of 250 km/h / 156 mph, but if needed they can have the motor gearing altered on the traction motors to 265 km/h / 166 mph. The twelve-part units are currently being delivered first. The first seven-part trains will then follow in succession. Delivery of the thirteen-part trains is supposed to begin in 2021, when delivery of the 50 twelve-part trains will have been completed.
