Interesting colour, but not very attractive in my opinion.
Is this loco different in any other way, or would it just be a simple repaint? I guess it would be a nice one-off model for collectors.... |

I like the color but I could do without the 'whitewall tires'.
Is this a fantasy model or were there 01's actually painted this color? I believe that the first 01's were manufactured in 1935 so it would be a little late to have them in a Bavarian green.

I read somewhere in Eisenbahn courier that 01 002 when it came out in 1925, it was in Olive Green and had the funny looking Wagner deflectors as well

I don't have an 01, but I might be tempted if they brought it out in that colour scheme.
So I am with Stephen on that front.

I don't have an 01 yet either, though I have an 01.10.
Maybe.... |

...(...)...the first serie of 10 BR 01 machines was built and delivered in 1926...(...)...
....The 01 001 made by Borsig + the 02 002 delivered simultaneously by Henschel are routed to the research section of the Raw Grunewald....( Raw = Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk or ''Reichsbahn repair shop'' - improving service of the Reichsbahn- ) they begin their tests on June 30, 1926.
....(....)...To evaluate the machines in service in various conditions, three depots each receive three machines of each type , BR 01 & BR 02.
Ham West received 01 002, 01 003, 01 004, then , a little bit later the 01 001 followed.
(extract from historical publications)
So, at the Raw Grunewald or Hamm West depot, this green livery is more than plausible , I think. (despite that we are quite far from the Bayerish railways)
Because a first draft was done in 1923 March, It could be the Prussian green , only for this first serie of ten locomotives...

Have Marklin finished their "Borsig" series of locos, of which there were to be 5 I believe? What a perfect addition to that series it would be, to produce the Borsig 01 001 (in green of course). regards Kimball |

To answer my own question, it appears that only 3 of the 5 "Borsig" series have been offered so far. 37938 37816 37545 So here's hoping. regards Kimball |
