<br />24202 set works ok at C tracks?




My set of 12 Trix Langer Heinrich ore cars arrived today. I was expecting 24204, but johnvandamme sent 24202 instead, but not to worry, I didn't have either before now. The box was too big to bring home on the bus, but I did manage to bring a couple of wagons home in my bag with me. The cars have the original DC wheels on them, but they quite happily go around my M track layout with no problems at all - that includes going over curved turnouts, normal turnouts, 3 way turnouts and double slip switches.

So I'm a 'happy chappie' right now. Hmmm, maybe I should take Lutz's suggestion and get 24204 as well!

I now have 12 Trix 24202 cars, 5 Marklin 46255 cars and 7 Marklin 00751 cars weathered to match the LH cars, and with loads fitted. That's 24 in total.

David you mean T has producted two sets of 12 Heinrich wagons?
Congratulation btw for your new wagons Cool.
These two sets (24202-24204) of 12 wagons have different road numbers?

Nikos, the answers to your questions are Yes and Yes.

Lutz has previously posted the road numbers for each set, I'll see if I can find the thread.

Finally, I have taken the plunge and ordered both Trix 22043 and 22044 locos. It may be a while before I put decoders in them, though. Is there a version of the ESU mfx Loksound with the 21MTC interface, and if so, what is the order number? I can see a Loksound with 21MTC, but not a Loksound mfx.

Try Loksound mfx 62499.. That's the only one that comes with 21MTC interface.
BR 64 sound by default but I would assume the default sounds can be reprogrammed via the Lokprogrammer?

Yes it can wink With the LokProgrammer you can upload any sound-program you want. For a Br.44 it is program #62402

You guys need to stop this nonsense. I have been looking at this thread for over two years now and a couple of weeks ago I could not
stand it anymoreSmileSmile[:I]. Modellbahn has just delivered relevant
sets[:I][:I] to mate who is keeping them for me. Somewhere in middle
of topic there is a small digression re mould marks. See link below
to photos that can be enlarged of the steamer in my 50's set. David
or anyone else with knowledge of these things, could you confirm my
impression that I don't see any? It is totally ok to show me that I
am wrong. It just increases my knowledge.

Thanks,

oops link would help[B)][B)]

I know, and I still want one, but I'm not prepared to pay 700 euro for something that is worth about 450 euro. They don't come up on ebay very often either.

Still. I did manage to get a Marklin 00775 set of 12 ore cars for 185 euros (ex VAT), to go with the Trix set I have (I have a total of 36 ore cars), and I have a few Br44's that can be used to pull the train - 2 Trix weathered Br44's, a 37883 and a 37889, and the Br44 from the pipe train set.

Hi All,
Suprised to see this topic pop up, so if I may also modestly mention my Long Henry addiction. OhMyGod
I ordered the M26536 from Lokshop right after the new items brochure came out in 2007, along with 2 x 46255 sets which I thought would make a nice 20 umit train. I hesitated on ordering the M37883 Br44 but when The M00775 12 car add on set came out I ordered that from Lokshop, so now we're at 32 wagons. However, but in '06, I allready had bought on ebay a M46244 "Ore Car Train" of five wagons with "Centre Buffer Couplings" This set is a "Eurotrain" exclusive but it does have the yellow corners on the wagons, as per the pic onthe 00775 box, but no buffers and just close couplers, so I thought I would keep them after all, having previousl thought I would sell them, thinking they do not belong in the Long Henry Train !!??
Then in a mailing from RJF Trains, he reported Walters were getting rid of two 00775 Sets, and other items cheap, so I got a set and a friend here in Auckland, now living & working in Istanbul, Ken got a 00775 set too, to go with his M37883 he'd picked up in Holland along with five wagons from the 00775 set. I thought I had 50 ERz wagons now = 4000T train, but a recount showed I only had 49 Cursing so I aquired one of Ken's five he got with his BR44 from Holland, all good BigGrin ThumpUp
Now of course a 50 Wagen 4000T Train must be a double header so I did a search back then (late 2009) for M37883 and found one for auction on ebay by MiWuLa, won that at a reasonable but not cheap price, along with an M39800 V200, that I'd also hesitated and missed out on from LS, and a few other bits and pieces, mostly Wiking etc cars. They deducted the mwst but then double charged me the freight. The M37883 BR44 is a beaut, but the V200 literally blew up with flames and smoke,Cursing that story another thread soon promise !! Wink
Now how do I deal with the five wagons in the 46244 set that have the yellow corners but no buffers. Following this thread and the links, and what was left of Lutz's postings It seems the wagons come apart relatively easily, so it seems I need to buy another 5 erz wagons say from the 00775 set that are kicking around on ebay and do some Marklin Model bashing Scared Sneaky.
What do you guys reckon about vandalising a Marklin set Confused Blushing

AFAIK those automatic couplers came in era IV (this is an era IV set) and the yellow corners mark cars that have both normal couplers (and buffers) and automatic couplers.
Since the Märklin Langer Heinrich cars are all era III, these coaches are a little bit too modern.

You are right David, i bought the whole set even the DC Trix BR 44 and some trix wagons, at that time i did not have much of these lovely smoking black and red locos that are known as steam locomotives BigGrin. Now my set is complete.

Interesting, thanks Tom, Marklin kind of led it's customers astray then, with the pic in era IV guise on the box top of the 00775 set. The two Loks in the picture are era IV numberted Oil Fired BR43's and it looks as tho the Erz Wagens are without buffers as well, so I do find a couple of 43's and remove the buffers on all the other 45 wagens or buy five more Erz Wagens from the 00775 set that are floating around on ebay Confused Sneaky and then sell my 46244 set, for a big price of course due to their rarity/at Wink Smile or do I kit bash them ?? I need to dig it out and compare it with 0775 Erz Wagens Confused

You can see the weathering on 26536 hopper with buffers,coupling,etc,But the 46255 didnt weathering it.[xx(]

Good pics Steven and yeah, not as much weathering on the Erz Wagens in the 00775 Sets either as the original. Perhaps the "weather man" or lady got tired or fired back then Sad

Hi Steven, thanks for the pictures of your Long Henry Train, the two 44's look great together.ThumpUp I also got all the Marklin Literature at the time, all very good and sowed the seed I guess that caused me to buy the whole train, 50 Erz Wagens and all !! BigGrinWink
I just need to get those Emsland modules of mine finished which will have a small siding with a Train Safe connector for unloading the train from the Travel Safe Tubes, that'll save a lot of time setting the train up but cost a few $$$ Smile

Does your engine pull all 20 cars ??

I have the Z scale edition and tried to run it at a train show on the Zo Cal layout yesterday at the South Coast Botanical Garden train show.
I needed to add a second engine. I only have one Long Henry engine so I added the blue articulated malet.
I didn't take any pictures, bummer, but maybe sone of the other members did and if so, I'll post them.

M37883 Br44 öl
M46255 five ore wagen set
M00775 twelve ore wagen set
T24040 five ore wagen set

Era 3
DB lokos, coaches and freight cars from across Europe
But I do have the obligatory (six) SBB Krocs
ECoS 50200, all FX and MFX decoders replaced with ESU V4s, operated in DCC-RailCom+ with ABC brake control.
With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397.

I don't think the Trix 24040 set was ever considered part of the Langer Heinrich series of items produced by Marklin and Trix - these are coal hoppers and were produced in 2003 whereas the LH items were produced in 2007.

All the other items in your photo are LH items, but there are also 2 Trix locomotives missing from your photo. These 2 locos duplicate the 2 Marklin ones - same running numbers - but are factory weathered. Items numbers are 22043 and 22044

Yeah, I've seen those weathered Trix Br44s. Airbrushing red/brown paint all over does not a weathered loko make. Proper weathering has greasy/oily grime, hard water stains and rust in corners and high wear areas. Spraying brown paint all over just makes it an abandoned loko rusting away in a siding.

These look nothing like the real thing on the Trix and Marklin boxes.

I have both of the Trix locos and the weathering looks OK to me. Plenty of members of our club have commented that they like them and have offered to take them off my hands if I don't want them (for free of course!)

For comparison purposes, here is a picture of the weathering on my Marklin 55585 G1 BR58.

Very nice weathering on both locos but I prefer the more subtle one on the BR 44

Hi all, the appropriate YouTube video for this topic. I subscribe to this channel, and this one should show you this youtuber's other related Dampflok vids after it has played ThumpUp

Hi David , on post # 187 showing your Trix cl. 44 is the frame on the bottom one bent or is that just an optical illusion. The frame looks like its curved up at the cab end. On the top picture the gap between frame and lower pipe on boiler is even but the lower picture shows the frame curved up to the pipe. Just curious . Both locos are stunning. Take care Eddie Confused Confused

Yes, the frame (or walkway) was 'bent' - it clips into the loco body and had come out, presumably when it was shipped from Germany. It was in fact this photo that alerted me to the fact that the walkway was bent and this has since been corrected.
