Thanks Tom.  There's a reason why I asked for that locomotive - I've managed to score myself one! Should be here in about 10 to 12 days! Your photo also fulfills another request I had in mind - a picture of some container trains! I've got the VT08 railcar, but not one with the typo (but it is of the same model number), so someone else will have to give us a picture.

The typo on the VT 08.5 is famous, the typo on the Hertha loco is less famous.
Other candidates are one coach from 42811, the RAG loco 37656, 3422 (BR 194), 3680 (BR 323) |

It's more than 24 hours since Tom posted (well maybe 1/2 an hour short, but I'm not going to wait up until the 24 hrs is up), so I'm posting a picture of my 39081 VT08 which doesn't have the 'typo' error. I'd like to see picture(s) of member's first Marklin items they ever had, along with a brief description of what it means to them. Bigdaddynz attached the following image(s):

Here’s a CM-800 (AKA 3000) BR 89-005 from the 1950’s. Bought new in Munich by my Grandfather for my Father then handed down to me. Two front headlight bulbs, plastic body, and analog SFCM motor. Still in perfect running condition! It was the first “hook” that started me in this obsessive hobby. It will pass down to my son. FWIW I've edited my original post to add a display photo of the loco with rolling stock of similar vintage. They were all part of the "hook". This was a very fine request, Bigdaddy. Thanks I give my turn for a request to the next poster.Regards -- Richard DumbGuy attached the following image(s): |

Ok, I'll jump in then... Here's my first loco, an RSM 800, anno 1950. Must have run literally hundreds of km... A witness to the quality of Märklin production of the era. Perfect durability even though this was at the time the entry level offering. Now if you ask why the "vandal" part in my signature... here's why: this engine has suffered an incredible amount of abuse! First it was tested to see at what speed it would jump off the tracks. Witness is a little gash in the roofline as it flew off teh table and landed on the flor one day. Then it was "endurance tested" running days on end, without interruption. The trafo died (280A model) but the loco did not! Then it was basically the test piece for all my unfortunate attempts to understand "how does it work? " and "how do I fix it?" It received a thorough refit in the 1980's when I finally had acquired **some** skills on how to do it the right way. Still runs impeccably. Yes Mehmet, it is still analog! To me , an irreplaceable and priceless piece of my life... Oh yes...almost forgot: I'd like to see a picture of an SNCB streamlined Type 12 steam engine Edited by user 21 October 2013 23:00:21(UTC)

Sorry for intruding without a picture, BUT, what Dave requested (your first loco) could be the start of a very interesting topic on its' own - unless off course it all ready has been started previously (and I was too lazy to check ) Anyone want's to start? |

Thank you Yumgui - it was the result of one of my few forays into eBay that added this set to my collection. The set goes to the heart of my fascination with the Federal Republic of Germany in Era 3 and the 'Wirtschaftwunder'. I appreciate any information on this model that is out there. Regards, Token.

Following my earlier response, can anyone find a picture of a prototype BR 42.90 (DB)? I gather there were only two and not as successful as the DB BR50.40.

Are these the two locos you're looking for ... ? :   ... or ;  Märklin model of 42.90 series ... ref number 39160, Digital, Insidermodell 2002 ;  ... also, check out a concept version for Russia, WOW : http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pi...O/francocrosti/bfc8b.gif... if so, I'd like to see prototype pix of models which Märklin never made, and really wish they did : Heisler, Shay (2 or 3 truck), Garrett, Cab Forward, Camelback ...

Hi = back again with the response; Link - http://die-buegelfalte-110.de/die-baureihe/ Could not find the matching coaches though. Anyone else? If not - I'll claim the time lapse and ask if anyone can find a colour photo, to prove the historical accuracy of the black paint scheme for the BR 05 001 as depicted in Maerklin model 37051?

The '103.
Token did not completely provide the picture Jens was asking for, and the request for the BR 05 was only if the 24 hour time period expired.

I was going to make a joke about steamer's photos but I'd better don't. Instead here you have one taken near Lithgow, ZigZaq railway around 1991. Sorry about the quality but I didn't have a digital file. Australia of course. I want to see a photo of the real train the 3070 is based on. Iamnotthecrazyone attached the following image(s):

Seems like Token was right on the 24Hr timing to ask for the Black BR 05 (don't be a hog now BD ^^ ;) ... so here are some pix on the fascinating BR 05 subject : 05 001 - Speed record over 200 km/hr, and later scrapped (boh!) ... in black and white livery (probably doesn't count) ;P  05 002 - Red and located in the DB Museum in Nuremberg  I always thought that the BR 05 was built in two protos, the 001 and 002 ... but read on some forum recently that 3 were built ??? Anybody have authoritative info on that ? ... Now, for a steam loco I've seen recently, here is a 141-TC-701 SNCF at 1/5 scale being restored in the Pras model workshop in Paris ... Made by 14 to 18 year olds learning the craft in 1929, it is part of the permanent exhibit of the Museum in Epernay (check out the 1/5 scale tool kit they built !). While it was built as a steam loco, it is now converted to pneumatic drive for Museum purposes ... : As for the following request , and to try once again to get this show on a regular rhythm, I'll go with The NOT Crazy One ^^ ;) "I want to see a photo of the real train the 3070 is based on ..."

The Märklin set 37574 includes an era IV version of a prototype loco labelled as 103. |

Thanks BD, I think you are right. Could not find anything about it and as an aside, I would love it if someone could let me know on what basis Maerklin produced the black colour scheme as opposed to the red. Any ideas out there? On the subject of NZR, I quite enjoyed a ride on this one.....  ...and how about the only one of these left in the world....  ...anyone (outside NZ hazard a guess what the second regulator is for (below)?

Token. There was a thread sometime ago discussing the colour, nobody could come up with undisputable evidence because photos were black and white. It wouldn't be the first time Marklin issues a non existent colour. Isn't the latest black croc one of them?

I suppose this is a black BR05 (de-streamlined)...  Will it pass as a valid entry??? If it does, I'd like to see a prototype BR52 with the stiff frame tender (not the bathtub one...). The BR05 001 (streamlined) looks black in pics, but the wasteline is blacker than the rest of the body...  |
