Well, may be nice. Perhaps ... But since M framed me [xx(][xx(][xx(] heavily with that junky €300.- Harry Potter Plastic Set a few months back, I'm more than suspicious, now ...

Saying this my dealer will not only have to test-run all my future loco buys but also removing of shell for closer inspection is a must [}:)]

My guess is that this list is still a coverup. The red busses all dealers knew of as they were on the cover of the new items show brochure, and although the sets say country, they don't list contents. Should be interesting to see the normal line new items indeed.

Somehow I think that's M's marketing strategy. Models of late protoypes are more appealing to juniors. Only old men like us are fond to steamers. The good thing is I can allocate my resource to the controls. biggrin

Buying startersets are the way to become cheaper a certain loc.
I am realy curious what kind of loc there is in the Frankreich starterkit and in the set dampfloczeit.

I think that in the dampfloczeit there a class 18,4 steamengine with mfx locsound. I have two off them. A class 52 freight steamengine our a class 78 with sound and 3 coaches.

In the startset Europa there is I think a hobby loc on board.

But it is just all a gamble from me. I am only guessing.biggrinSmile

Somethings like:

- S88 connection for CS
- update for CS
- CS-6021 adapter
- CS network protocol

Yes, the railbus is on my list to own. I have been looking at the Roco and Fleischmann railbus versions for long (since better detailed than Mother's), yet never decided to go for them... I'm happy M* themselves come with a new version now... Is it metal? biggrin

Yes the schienen bus is from metal. The starter 29165 is with a metal class 81 steamengine. I think this loc is with the new hobby engine with flywheel and hobby decoder.

New PIKO items can be found here:

(scroll down and click on the PIKO picture)

BTW I have a Danish "Desiro" in PIKO 3-rail edition - it runs fine! A little more engine noise than I prefer, but otherwise no problem...

Could I dare hope that the BR-03 in the new starter set 29830 is, at long last, a retooled model? Or are Märklin using the same poorly detailed boiler that they have been dishing out for the past 10-15 years on both the BR-03 and BR-41?

You mean those sand pipes, and other exterior details are really supposed to be free-standing? I thought they were were cast on on the original too. I'm confused Armando. What are you saying? Henschel... got it wrong?

Hello Peter:

No, that's exactly it! I am talking about the poor detailing of sand pipes, exterior details, etc. on the Märklin BR-03. These are cast along with the boiler shell and not free-standing. Actually, they use the same boiler for both BR-03 and BR-41 (only 3 sand pipes!). We have seen some improvement in the tooling of later versions of BR-01 (still far from great), BR-44 and BR-50. When one compares the Roco or Fleischmann toolings of these locs (03 and 41) the different with Märklin is awesome. I don't think that it is a matter of plastic or metal. These parts could simply be added-on to the metal boiler, just like they did on the BR-44.

Hello Armando

I have been waiting for the new tooling on the BR 03/41 too. After seeing the level of detail on my 043 I was very anxious when 33952/37952 came out. But that and 37953 as 37921 have the old boiler, so I did not buy any of them. Still waiting for a highly detailed express loco from M other than the BR 01.

Same here. I won't buy any"new" releases unless they have updated

you can go to www.railfaneurope.net which has some close up pictures of the 41 and 03 which show that the pipes are separate from the boiler.

Armando, i fully agree with your viewpoint. that's the important reason why i am gradually disappointed with marklin.
Compared with fleishmann or roco in tooling of details, marklin br01, br78, br86 etc. are rough as well.

All I need to do is compare my Märklin BR10 (DB) with my Roco 01.5 or 02 201 and I have the same feeling. The detailing isn't there. Mind you it's not a rough model, but they could have done more. And that was all new tooling. The models you mentions - 01, 78, 86 - are all fairly old tooling.

That's true, but BR 41 has 4 axles and 4 sand pipes while BR 03 has 3 axles and 3 sand pipes.
M* uses the boiler with 3 sand pipes for the BR 41.
That's OK for "Spielbahner", but "Nietenzähler" (rivet counters) hate it.
And this is not the worst example of M* reusing old parts / old shapes for new locos ...

I wiss I hadn´t read this!!! :-(

I know of course that you are right, and I have seen a lot of these "shortcuts" everywhere else, but just these two locos are among my favorites, and now I like them LESS!
(Well, I suppose I only have to like the 41 less, right? ;-)

I feel the same - if I buy a loco and later find out what's wrong about her.
It's OK if I buy the loco after I found out.

I am sorry but this is not true in all cases. Please see the photos. There are actually NO sandpipes on the BR 41s which are posted here. No visible sandpipes I have to add.

And I know of BR 52s with 5 geared axles which show only 3 sandpipe rods. So, as long as we do not know about the specific details of the loco used by Märklin, I do not see a reason for the owners to begin to dislike their possessions .....

Many regards,

Hans

I like M-track and my things that run on it were built between 1959 and 1972.

I believe thise photos are of the 1960ies rebuilt boiler BR41s, which I believe have gained separate sand boxes for each axle. These boxes are located at gangway level and the pipes go from there to the wheels, being very short in comparison with those belonging to earlier style BR41s and BR03s and other einheitsloks.

All of Märklin BR41s I know have the old prewar style boiler which had a centrally-top-mounted sandbox, from which all the pipes ran visibly to the axles.

Now, specifically how many sandpipes were there in the BR41s portrayed by Märklin is an unknown.....biggrin

Further, the period in which M's BR41s are depicted is also quite relevant. All in all, and applicable to all manufacturers, and to all types of models, cars, aircraft, armour, etc., it's really very difficult to get an out of the box accurate model, for a specific date. In my trains I don't really care and am not a rivet counter at all, and mostly like them to look simply gorgeous and run great!biggrinbiggrin

May I suggest that nobody feels unhappy for having a POSSIBLY inacurate lok? Let's run them!

These locos are also different from the Märklin model as their platform surrounding the boiler stays up the whole way while the Märklin model's slopes down in the front.

I think Hans' point was don't drive yourself nuts with this stuff!!!

My favorite larger German steam prototype is the BR 41, and it was my first big M lok purchased back in 1983 (3082). I still have it and am very satisfied. There'sno way of knowing if the actual lok had 3, 4 or no sandpipes. Or even if it has the correct "Elephant ears" which were changed on later versions of the model. I still like it and always will. It was actually a bonus that the BR o3 had the same boiler, becausee it was a talking point with my train buddies.

Now I'll rant on about cast on detail. it's probably MORE realistic than some of the add on pipes!! Multiply the thickness of some of this add on stuff by 87 and see what you get sometimes!! Also the distance of the piping from the boiler surface. It's almost grotesque the proportions. But it "looks" better.............well maybe. I think it's a matter of opinion.

I want one and that is the set. Mein start mit Marklin 29165. It has a br 81 and it looks like to have a hobbymotor and flywheel and the same decoder the other marklin hobbylocs have. The have already done this for a other small and cheap steamloc and this one runs very good in analog and digital mode. nr 29156
M-track with a CS2.

Armando , don't make comparison between Roco model and Marklin model of BR 03 & BR 41 . They are different version .
Specially about sand pipes and other details ,these machines have been built by several manufacturers . It depends also of the era
On Marklin BR 52 , BR 50 , BR 44 , boilers & hand rails are correct .
Only about Marklin model of BR 41 ( former plastic model) you can find a very wellknown compromise .

About the French SNCF startset , the lok is a BB 12000 in blue livery with yellow panels , same as the recent model from Marklin .

The new metal model of railbus looks wonderful !
