Apart from the road number, what was exactly changed on 39020 when it "became" 39024? From the Marklin pictures in the catalogs, I cannot see any difference. Greetings,
		Best regards, Armando García

Important difference: 39020 has SDS, 39024 has a motor with bell-shaped armature. With new Märklin locos you have to read the product description carefully if you want to avoid locos with an El Cheapo three-pole can motor - I presume this one doesn't have an El Cheapo motor. I presume (at lest early) 39020 had ESU decoders while all 39024 have Märklin decoders. IMHO the ESU decoders sound better, but others prefer the sound of the Märklin decoders.

What exactly changed between 1928 and 1933 on the Badische IV h? 39020 was released "as it ran" around 1928, and the corresponding Rheingold cars do not have the "Rheingold" markings on them. 39024 is being released "as it ran" around 1933. Its matching Rheingold cars have the "Rheingold" inscription on them. But other than the different road number, I don't see any difference in the prototype. Do you?
