Joined: 23/03/2012(UTC) Posts: 2,556 Location: Finland		Brian, Welcome to the worlds best MRR forum! Nice choice to have an black SNCF French beauty . I collect French steamers, but I don't have this new one yet. And no 3046 either. If you want to find more nice French beauties here is some (but without sound and Mfx): Digital and Delta: 37552 (040 D 120), 34157 (150 Y 17), 34131 (040 TC 962) and 3413 (131 TA 3). Analog: 3414 (150 Z 2217), 3083 (ETAT 231-981), 3317 (231 995), 3107 (232 TC 414) and 3117 (weathered 232 TC 423). These are my French steamers. My 3414 is digitalised, but I will soon get an analog original 3414 also. I really like French steamers that are black or green. Cheers, Janne

Joined: 10/08/2009(UTC) Posts: 3,443		Brian, Here a copy of a scan from the Maerklin 1968 catalogue,showing the 3046 in SCNF colors and the 3045 in DSB colors. The SCNF version has the same operating number as your newer version of the monster. Both loco's are rare nowadays and attract high prices on internet. Note the Danish version has one headlamp missing which complies with the prototype. Both loco's were based on the German DB 3047 Baureihe 44,of which i recently purchased the 3108 Jubilee version. www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2067285 www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2067286 Cheers, Paul.

Interesting how this first model was manufactured pre war in 1938 so really how successful this 2-10-0 configuration was. I have also never seen a missing head lamp like that looks like a ladder in its place. Also fascinates me why one would have no smoke deflectors on the 3046 any idea why this is? Such beautiful locos! Dan many thanks for your feedback let me know when you receive your loco. I would be very interested in that link. Many thanks Regards Brian

Many thanks Regards Brian Brian,smoke deflectors many times were omitted to save materials! The German series 52 Kriegslokomotive ("War locomotive") at the end did not have "Elephant ears" just to save costly material! Together with a number of other steamer series the DB series 44 was outphased in the mid seventies only. The French and Danish versions are in fact German series 44 steamers left behind after May 1945. Cheers, Paul.

Wonder if one can mimic the impact of smoke deflectors on and off on the actual model at full speed? Would be intersting to see if one can recreate the effect. Regards Brian

It would seem to have been a matter of personal taste of the designers rather than a logical design feature. Even within a German steamer series you can find both versions,even before WW2. See for example Maerklin 3091 (no ears) versus Maerklin 3099 (with ears). Interesting stuff. Paul.

I have a definite preference - a loco without deflectors which shows off the boiler in its entirety. I see the 3091/99 is a passenger class loco, what a beauty! Regards Brian

Joined: 16/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 15,544 Location: DE-NW		Hi, Brian! Originally Posted by: brian.barnes.524381 Also fascinates me why one would have no smoke deflectors on the 3046 any idea why this is? Turbulences that occur at higher speeds can, in connection with wind from the side, block the sight of the engineer as the smoke does not go upwards, but is pulled down by the turbulences. The smoke deflectors direct the airflow to prevent this problem. As a rule of thumb, smoke deflectors were used for locomotives that can go at least 80 km/h. But many were made without smoke deflectors. Therefore many DB locos received the small Witte deflectors after the war - either replacing the larger Wagner deflectors or as their first deflectors.

Regards Brian Brian, The P8,later Baureihe 38,is one of the most famous German steam loco's. Maerklin made a number of different versions,including a Danish and Belgian version! The P8/Br38 was mainly used for passenger traffic but was also used for regional freight,a perfect loco for every layout! I have two of them in my collection. Paul.

Joined: 10/08/2009(UTC) Posts: 3,443		Brian, May i recommend a truly fantastic internet site: www.osterthun.com . On the right hand side of the first page there is 8.The Picture Book,it is listing almost all German steamloco's in scale 1/87 (H0) from Maerklin and other brandnames. The photographs are simply superb! Mr.Osterthun has wisely blocked the pictures against duplication,you cannot print the pictures. The site holds a real danger: one is tempted to get very greedy seeing all these beauties! Even when owning a number of steamers like i do the pictures make me hungry for some more to buy! Enjoy,and watch your bankaccount! Paul. Edited by user 13 June 2013 06:45:32(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
