Does anybody have info on a rare? Borsig53 in camouflage paint and DR markings. Not the winter type with black and white but a multi coloured one and the eagle on it. Thanks Eddie

I've been trying to find it myself, A old friend now deceased had one but I have been unable to track it down anywhere.
I think it was a Toy Fair edition as he brought it back from a trip to Europe. |
Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under . |

Thanks Shane, just making sure it is a genuine model as I have a chance to get it. So I guess it must be a pretty rare loco as I cant find any info about it. Take care Eddie .

Hi Eddie,
Does the person have the number for it, is it boxed ?
When my friend died his kids sold everything before I had a chance to get it and I'd like to know the number so I could satisfy myself as to its origins and help tracking one down for myself. |

Hi Shane, the box number is 3701, but when I punched in that number it and shows the standard grey model. So Im thinking they might have taken some of those grey ones and added the camouflage to those ones and used the same box ?. Does that seem like something they would do. Take care Eddie

Which one do you mean? http://www.eimo350.de/02_Eisenbahn/05_Einbau_Umbau_Lok/04-01_Bau_Tarnlok_Start/1_Bau_Tarnlok_Start.htmThe first picture on the link above? Seems that it's a unique handmade painting... AFAIK, Märklin had produced only the 37024 with camouflage... Cheers, Walter

Could you attach some photos of it? Will be better to identify... for example, one photo from the lok itself, one showing the bottom, and another showing the front to see which road number it is... Cheers, Walter

Hi Eddie,
If its a 3701 (the foto-grey #53 0002) that would match up with Barry's last trip to Europe in '96. I've wanted one ever since I saw it on his layout.
I've been through all my old photo's trying to find a picture of it so you could compare but its nowhere to be found. If they were identical that at least would lend credence to it being a factory (or even a special run) model.
If they were different it would indicate "hand made" by someone.
I'll keep looking for the photo but I'm running out of places to look. |

I believe there must be a reason for M* not producing any items related with camouflaged war instruments..... The first ones they did were some UN uints and a Red-Cross wagon in the very first years of 2000s....  |

My German has gone to pot in the last 20 years but I think "only victory then travel" or maybe "travel to victory"
I can't recall what colour the running gear was on Barry's camo BR 53 was but I'll keep looking for the photo of it on his layout.
From memory it looked more like the BR 52, the 3rd loco in that list above. The colour scheme that is. |

Hello!
My father (german) told me that this is more like "First win -- Then travel"... a common victory feeling told to the soldiers to first serve the country then have the leisure...
Cheers,
Walter

Hi Eddie,
Been following your thread, as fan of the Br 53's I was curious to see see what you had discovered.
That looks to be a 3102.1 (1979-81) that has been repainted, maybe digitally converted?, along with a 3701 box and papers, no telling what it has under the hood. I would definitely say not "factory commissioned".
Interesting though, and kinda cool, but probably not worth much more than a standard 3102 not really sure if the paint adds much value and if a decoder would add much more...
Cheers,
Gordon

Definitely not a factory job. I'll explain why:
German law prohibits the display of the swastika other than in a handful of situations (such as when making a film or TV programme, or as the religious symbol it was before the Nazis defiled it), other than that it's banned. That's why if you come across any factory-built models sold in Germany the circle below the eagle will have something else in, on the Fleischmann thunderbox I have there's just a black and silver speckled pattern in it. Plastic kits of WW2 aircraft and tanks will either leave it out completely or use a plain cross.
Museums seem to be allowed to show it for historical accuracy, but I get the impression it's done on a case-by-case basis and shows a bit of common sense. For example, a collection of aircraft with swastikas on their tail fins and panels explaining technical details would be acceptable, so long as there's nothing which could be taken as approval of the symbol or Nazi ideology. |

Sorry Eddie but as the others have said it is definitely a "bitzer". Not the right loco for the box and definitely (at least from memory) nothing like the one Barry bought back from his trip to Europe in '96. Such is life.  |

So long as your happy with it Eddie that's all that matters.   As I recently said to Tim, "so long as I like the looks of a loco and it fits in with my gear I'll get it". I was hoping it might have been a special run or at least a traceable "hand made" that I could have tracked down for myself. Now I'll just keep a eye out for a cheep good BR53 with a ratty body and have a go at a respray myself. I built at least fifty model tanks/military vehicles as a teenager so with a bit of patience I might just pull it off one day. All the best and enjoy it. |
