Streamlined Br03.10 - Which is the right colour?

Hi people, Now that I am happy to have one of these locos at last, I have been comparing my 37912 to previous Marklin red versions of this loco. The original 3089 has black smoke deflectors and red wheels:  The later 33911 had red deflectors and black wheels:  The current version, 37912, has red deflectors and red wheels:  Which of these is correct to the prototype? Or were all three seen at different times? Or are they all fantasy? I would be interested to know if anyone has an answer to this. |

Dunno Ray, But apparently the really attractive blue one that I bought that was a one time only in 94' is completely wrong. I'm told (by Tom I think) it was pure Marklin fantasy! Never mind, they're still nice anyway Cheers... Mike.

According to a poster from Stummi's Forum, they are all fantasy (red, blue, green). https://www.marklin-user...ostst17052_BR-03-10.aspxBR 05 was red. It seems the latest 03.10 is painted like the 05, so the livery is authentic (but not for this mould). |

Hi, My 37914 is painted black, black wheels, and a silver and purple stripe and insignia of the Atlantic Coastline Railroad back in the USA. (Their diesels were painted purple and silver at the time).
Apparently, this was a real scheme, used by occupation railroadmen after 1945 on one loco. No doubt with the assistance of the fine DR employees of the time.

Yeah. M* used the correct loco number on the box (03 1004), but not on the loco (03 1060). I can live with that. |

If all the paint schemes are fantasy except the black one, then why do Marklin produce them in all these other colours? Mike.

It is interesting that if I google for "DRG 03.10", and then switch to 'images', therre are no less than nine photos from my own layout on the first page of images displayed!

(It seems some were painted grey for the picture at the factory but that's a different story as they didn't operate in that livery.) And I don't see any other clues on any web forum. All colour pictures show 'em in black. B/W pictures don't help much. There were two streamlined 05s and one streamlined 03 in red, but that's a different class. |

Which is the streamlined 03 that belongs to a different class? Do you have a picture, or a reference I can read? |

Here is a different slant on these musings. It is a bit like the Borsig 53 class (Marklin 37022), which never existed in real life, but was certainly planned. Marklin justify their model on this basis. Directives from DRG head office about colour schemes would give Marklin justification for painting models, even if the colour was never applied. Perhaps even correspondence about future paint schemes, particularly a corporate "colour" proposal. The Marklin 3748 electric 70 21 is a good example. A circa 1947 directive from HQ in Bavaria went out to paint the loco blue, but in reality was never applied. Marklin model is blue. regards Kimball Edited by user 01 October 2011 05:10:11(UTC)

" No sufficient clue" doesn't mean that it didn't exist...From Him it only means that there is not a color photo ...today. If my memory serves me correctly, few machines - may be only one - have been wearing a blue livery for a while ...(reports) The light grey color was a light coat for showing the machine to public & media but...they were bearing this livery also when pulling train in scheduled service because they didn't repaint it immediately just after the show....In fact machines stayed like that until the first planned normal overhauling...

Are there clues for blue DRG locos of era II? Or red class 03.10 locos in era II? |

To add to the "grey livery" It was common for manufacturers to paint one or two new engines of a class in what was called "photographic grey" Normal, more glossy paints don't register very well on black and white photographs. To get a nice photo that could be used on publicity pamphlets ect. a loco would be painted in water based shades of grey. These paints were matt, so reflections didn't cause any problem. These photos could then also be coloured in for publicity purposes. In service, the water based paints quickly washed off, revealing the loco's proper coat of paint.
The photo of the 03.10 that is posted above looks suspiciously much like such a photo, with the light coloured ballast and white background, and the loco looks quite matt for a new engine.

Frits No problem Frits, with such fantastic photos, we are not complaining! I'm taking my first 'dip in these waters', as I've purchased the 37912 set. Looking forward to getting them.

So out of the 8 in Osterthun's first set of photos, only 2 have black wheels. And perhaps also the 33912 olive green, and the photo grey one.

Hi to all,
If you click on the pictures with the right mouse click (click 'show picture') you'll get the Märklin number in the URL on top of your screen.

Yep, those are the 2 I have somewhere at my storage location... Seems like I'll have to look for the USTS one on ebay, looks nice.. Kinda regret I did not get it... 03.10's "is the shit" for me, as well as the other streamlined classes... @Ray - The green one was a Vedes (German store chain) special, dunno why it's green... It actually looks quite good... |

It would be great if Marklin made a model of the 06, like this Brawa model  They used to make a version in the 40s and 50s called the SK800, but it had one pair of drivers missing  |

Ray, the Br06 was one of the options voted on by Insider members for possible Insider Models. Here's hoping Marklin does produce one.
I have had serious thoughts about tracking down the red version of the Brawa Br06, but haven't got around to it yet.
