Well Ladies and Gents,
Looks like I have another part time job on my hands.
I have recently bought 25 vintage Märklin locos and about 12 Roco locos in one go.
They all need maintenance, and some without boxes need identification.
Its likely I will want to sell or swap a few of these.
So bear with me, because I will be asking quite a few questions, one at a time.
I was trying to read the German entries on the ÖBB 1189.02 and the dates of the orange livery.
Seems like an interesting history, but no mention of the actually dates they first started with this colour, AKAIK.
A good image of this here:

History
1189.02, here after their retirement in Attnang-Puchheim, received only one blood oranges paint. (1980)
For the ramp routes Arlbergbahn the BBÖ required electrically driven express locomotives. The beginning of the 1920s there was the rod drive is no viable alternative. The decision was made in favor of a design by Swiss model, the SBB Ce 6/8 II. The series 1100 and 1100.1 are the only "crocodile" -Bauarten Austria. In contrast to the model of a slightly simpler drive was elected by a single connecting rod, connecting both the dummy shaft and the drive wheels. To avoid any confusion: Of course there were a total of four such rods.
The first seven aircraft were of Brown Boveri & Cie (electrical part) and of the locomotive factory Floridsdorf (mechanical part) delivered in 1923/24. 1925-26 was followed by further nine locomotives, the stronger and slightly heavier compared to initial delivery of goods (see. Table). The erstgelieferten seven vehicles received the designation series 1100 last nine 1100.1. They were first in Innsbruck, and later in Salzburg stationed, from where it appropriately on the Arlberg and Tauernbahn were used to the full satisfaction. In the valley routes they were locomotives of the series 1670 superseded.
The German Reichsbahn she called after the annexation of Austria in 1938 as E 89 (1100) and as E 89.1 (1100.1).
In World War II, two former 1100s were destroyed. One of them, 1100.01, was supported by the ÖBB, rebuilt in 1953 the vehicles the row numbers in 1089 and 1189 and used zuwies nor more than twenty years in its intended role.
Until 1979 the machines were fully decommissioned, including contributing to the lubrication of the drive a second man to guide the machine made it necessary.

....When did they first start using the orange livery???
- Mark
ps... The Roco version of this model that I have runs beautifully, but I need the self-discipline to stick to my own era.
