Model H0 gauge, scale 1:87; Märklin 39583;
Epoch IV. Electric locomotive BR 181 203-1.
Overcoming borders, building a common Europe: The dual-system locomotives of the 181.2 series ran to Luxembourg and France from 1974 onwards in front of famous trains such as the “Mozart”, the TEE “Goethe” or the Moscow – Paris sleeping car train. For decades, the 181.2s pulled passenger and freight cars from all over the world and changed the power systems simply but reliably: At the border, the train driver inserted the German pantograph, quickly overcame a section without electricity and finally put on the French pantograph. The elegant, low locomotive body was the result of the lower French catenary. The fascinating 181.2 has made European history - and will continue to do so on many Märklin layouts: as a truly endlessly interesting model.
