Hi All,

Does anyone know if the steamer in this set is also available separately or which Marklin model number it is based on?

Marklin's database says: "The locomotive for prototypical double heading is available as item no. 37883"

But if I remember correctly the prototypical double heading often consisted of 2 different type locos?

I don't know that the loco in the set ever was available seperately with the same road number, but you have a couple of options vis: -

Check the other marklin 3788x series locos. Marklin tend to to assign blocks of numbers to a model and its variants. From memory the 37883 is different to the loco in the set, IIRC it is oil fired where the one in the set is coal fired, and I think this represents prototypical practice.

Secondly check for the Trix locos produced for the Trix version of the Lange Henry. I don't think the Trix version came as a set, so the two locos were produced seperately. It wouldn't be too hard to make it run on three rail. The Trix Lange Henry items were produced in the same year as the Marklin ones.

Another option may be to prowl ebay looking for the loco from the Marklin set.

While you are at it, if you are going to properly model the Lange Henry the Trix set of wagons has a different set of road numbers to the marklin set and additional wagons. With the set, the Marklin additional wagons and the Trix wagons you end up with an almost prototypical length train.

37883 was the additional oil fired loco for the Langer Heinrich set, but I don't know if Marklin separately issued the loco from the 26536 set, at least as a Marklin item.

Trix issued both locos as factory weathered versions - Items numbers are 22043 and 22044. Road numbers were the same as the Marklin locos - 44 494 and 44 100

None of the 3788x locos has the same road number as the 26536 loco (44 494) but 37880 might be the closest, although that's an era IV loco.

I think David is correct in saying for Marklin #37880 & #37883 would be what you are looking for. But if you want the prototypical scenario you would need to get your hands on the Trix versions of those locos & note both are weathered versions & both would need to be converted to 3 rail & not difficult to do at all. Makes for a really nice set on anyone's layout.

Here's a document showing how to perform a 3 rail conversion of the Trix BR44's (German language) along with an English translation, partly done by a former boss of mine.

A BR 41 Oil or a BR V 200 can also be used as a second loco.
Double heading in MRR will be easier with two BR 44 (coal or oil) because they have identical gears and motors and in the best case identical decoders.

Thanks guys. I asked because I already have the 37885. That however is also an era IV loco.

It SEEMS that the wagons are the only era III version with the short coupler mechanism. Can anyone confirm that?

Mixing a steamer with a BR V200? Interesting.
Were these trains also pulled by just a BR V200 or any other non-steamer in era III?

In ere III the V 200 were primarily used for passenger trains.

Here are some pictures from era IV (see #15 and #24):
http://www.bundesbahnzei...014-10-16_Emsland-Diesel

The German Wikipedia mentions BR 50/BR 50 and BR V 100/BR 50 for era III (’60s):

Reading that wikipedia link I get the impression that if in the sixties the BR50 was used that the BR44 must have been after the sixties but according to Marklin this set is era III

You could also use a double headed BR151 or a BR218...

37882 is a class 043. Could that be used as well.

Class 043 is just an Oil burning Br44. After the change to computer numbers the oil burning Br44 were renumbered Br043 and the coal burning ones Br044.

There is a similar case in the Br41 where the oil burners became the Br042 and the coal burners Br041
