Biannual Exclusiv (MHI) meeting took place last week in Germany. Märklin has commissioned a special commemorative locomotive cl 03.10 model # 37916. Model is very limited!!
Prototype: In the 1930's the Deutsche Reichsbahn experimented heavily with streamlining express locomotives. Streamlining made the locomotives faster and more efficient. The BR03 express locomotives were fitted with a many variations of streamlining, from fully skirted versions to partial streamlining. The 03.10’s were built by Borsig/Berlin-Hennigsdorf factory in 1934. They were equipped with a two-cylinder drive system and a 2`3T32 type tender. The 03.10’s were painted in various liveries but the red versions were among the most attractive.
Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder and a sound generator. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a bell-shaped armature and a flywheel, mounted in the boiler. 3 axles powered. Traction tires. The tender is constructed of metal. There is an adjustable close coupling between the locomotive and tender for different curves. A 7226 smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The triple LED headlights change over with the direction of travel. They and the smoke generator that can be installed in the locomotive will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. There is a close coupler with a guide mechanism and an NEM pocket on the tender. Protective piston rod sleeves are included. Minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Length over the buffers 27.5 cm / 10-13/16".
