These were re-classified as class 042 by the DB. The real class 42 was a 2-10-0, built for war service. They did something similar with the oil fired class 44, which was re-classified as class 043. (My 37885 is one of these)

It really gives some cool closeups of the loco in action.

However, the Fulda club video reviews are still the best "consumer reviews" since they show moving trains, and have more or less neutral comments that point out positives and negatives about a model. They do a great job with these...

The next days run goes very slow to dead at half speed, Found small smoke came out in the tender with decoder on top of circuit board and overhead message came up on CS2 screen. I have return with warrenty., Not very happy BR042.

To many items these days seems to suffer from "child-sicknesses". But the loco looks great and I'm looking forward to the 41 version with coal-tender. /Torbjörn

Took it out of the box, put it on the track, and it wouldn't run (last time I had it out, it was OK). Opened it up, took the decoder off the 21pin mounting plug, and reseated it, which seemed to fix it, but not good when you've paid 900 euros for it.

Doesnt mean mine will be perfect but so far it has worked OK. IF I end up missing a model then is does not matter and anyway I prefer models that Marklin keep in their catalogue for a reasonable time. Hope it comes back to you soon Stephen but these days it looks like Marklin quality is a thing of the past. dave

If that is the case Maerklin standards are slipping very, very fast. NN PS: It has been reported in another Fora that a add on pack of French carriage had both the same running numbers..

I am just curious as I have never sent an item back for a fix. Thanks, Chris

Hi Stephen, 14 days, that is fast!!! My experience with Marklin service is also good, usually around 30 days. To answer Chris' question about communicating: +49 7161 608 222 Yes, my phone calls have been answered in English, and the Marklin employee is able to deal with my query regarding a repair invoice I received. This invoice contained my customer number, and the repair number. If you did not have this sort of information, I don't know how you would get on. For example, if you phoned 14 days after sending them an item, you may not have this information. I don't know if they could trace your item based on your name and when it was likely received. You would not believe how many people send stuff, without any reference such as name/address of the owner. I know - I am in a business that deals with similar things. At the same time, I asked about availability of a replacement pantograph for another model, and was told the status from their computer inventory in seconds. It was all quite efficient. Stephen says he received an email. I have not had this service, (my invoice comes in the mail, which is the first I ever hear on repair status). But maybe I have never given them my email address. regards Kimball
