Joined: 15/03/2003(UTC) Posts: 9,472 Location: Australia		I was have a look at the Fall New Items 2015 brochure and I was wondering what loco would have pulled the wagons in the 43867 set.. The year modelled is 1985. (Era IV). I was wondering if my new 50 year MM loco would be suitable. Any suggestions?

I've no idea what the Marklin Magazine loco is but I would suggest a Br216 or 218 in blue/cream, or an electric in similar colours, like a Br111 or 110.

A loco in fantasy livery without prototype can be used with any train. There still were blue locos in the '80s - but it would rather be marked 103 instead of E 03 at that time. But such a small detail can be ignored. Besides blue/cream locos with the old DB logo, any green or blue electric (without E) and any dark-red diesel (without V) should do. 110, 140, 141, 218, 211, 212, 220, 221. Or 103 and 120.0 in beige/red.

Is there a resource where one could check individual loco numbers to see what colours they wore on different dates?
