A 37016 keeps tempting me - it looks to be quite a nice locomotive. I have not yet found any reviews from someone who actually has one of these beauties.

Do you have one of your own and would you care to share your impressions? Cool

Regards,

Jim

I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains!
So many trains and so little time.

Hello!

There is an extensive review on this forum on its predecessor, Märklin 37015, in its original Bavarian livery. It's exactly the same locomotive, albeit in a different livery (Era II- DRG).

I own a 37015, and am quite happy with it. It's an awesome model.

Here's one of the threads:

I love my 37015. It's beautiful to look at and looks well made. The detailing is very fine so I would refrain from bouncing it off the floor too many times! (or even handling it too much)

The loco has only two driving axles so it may slip with a heavy load, especially if starting off on a grade or curve. This is quite prototypical and to be expected on the model.

Yes, the 37015 is beautiful to look at and that is a very nice image - thanks. It is prettier in the Bavarian green livery than the 37016 is in the DRG livery. The 37016 is still quite handsome though, with the same nice detailing of the drive rods, valve gear and cab. I like the highly detailed loks but I do find that I am more likely to break things when handling them, so it is a tradeoff. I always like the fact that loks, especially steamers seems to behave in models as the prototypes do - both for good and for bad.

It is good to hear from owners who are happy with their 37015's. That is what I usually go by when deciding to buy, not the country in which it was made.
