It shows the E10.3 (of which one Marklin model is 39120) in what appears to be "reverse colouring" to the norm of beige over blue, or all blue, or blue over black of that time. The norm. Fascinating. regards Kimball

		Matt 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.

The bright grey also improved the visibility of dirt and was not used for main series locomotives. Liliput made that livery, Roco made other experimental liveries (so did Märklin for BR 111). Märklin could make them, too.

Joined: 24/09/2014(UTC) Posts: 704 Location: Luxembourg		Hi everyone, The E 10.3 in Kimball's first picture would have been a suitable and prototypical Märklin Magazin Anniversary model, but Märklin preferred an E 03 in a fantasy livery ... Best regards, Mark
		Best regards, Mark I like Märklin items produced in the 1960s or early '70s, but also digital locos & current rolling stock.

Märklin could make them, too. That makes sense and my first impression (sorry guys for not seeing the funny side ) was that it is the conventional first blue and Black colour scheme with the Black repainted in Grey, you can also clearly see the grey overspray on the buffers ! I just had a look at my 39120, and that's it ! I agree it would have made a more appropriate and probably better selling MM anniversary Lok. Still M could find a reason for this Lok, but shame it won't be SDS...... hmmm at the risk of starting a run on used 39120's I guess it (the grey colour) could be done with an airbrush, but then there's the printing

Hi Glen, Interesting comments from all. Regarding the buffers, I believe these were also painted grey. The black you see on the buffers is actually the result of rubbings from the adjacent coach buffer. The shanks of the buffer clearly show as black. The picture must have been taken only a day or two after the loco was shopped, probably brand new from the works. There does not appear to be any dust or grime on the lower sections. No doubt there are enthusiasts with archival tables, showing the exact date when this loco was put into service. regards Kimball

On picture #14 you see 110 365 with white triangles at the front. Different shades of grey were used for the frame - also see #07 in the thread. E 10 300 with one single-arm pantograph and a maximum speed of 300 km/h is also a candidate for an interesting one-time series IMHO. See picture #31.
