  I have been wondering is it time Marklin produced the Br 02 which is heavily related to the Br 01 and the Br 04 which is related to the Br 03?

BR02 10 qty build in 1925/6, From 1937 to 1942 the vehicles were successively converted to two-cylinder operation and regrouped as Class 01s with the new numbers 01 011 and 01 233 – 01 241.
BR04 2 qty build in 1932, Because the engines did not meet expectations even after modification and repairs - Both scrapped in 1940.
Micro Metakit model make BR02. |

That is a very good idea. I've seen a photograph of the prototype four-cylinder 02 in photo grey and it looked AWESOME. As to whether this engine was simple or compound I'm unsure, but she certainly is handsome. It would be a intriguing piece for Marklin to model at some point

Hi!
I'd be interested in a BR 01 with small running wheels (and low running number).
Maybe Märklin (or another MRR maker) can come up with a construction that allows making early BR 01 and BR 02 from the same mould with some replaceable mould parts.
I don't think a BR 02 mould will pay off if it is a complete new and separate mould.
It's more likely to pay off if it can be done as a variation of the BR 01.
Small running wheels from Märklin look odd - other brands can do them better.
I think there were two streamlined BR 03 locos. They would be much more interesting for me than the BR 04.
Märklin successfully sold BR 03 models marked as BR 03.10. They can do the same trick to sell BR 04 and BR 02 to the true Märklin fans without making new moulds. I have zero interest in such mock-ups. |
Regards Tom --- "In all of the gauges, we particularly emphasize a high level of quality, the best possible fidelity to the prototype, and absolute precision. You will see that in all of our products." (from Märklin New Items Brochure 2015, page 1) ROFLBTCUTS  |

A very niche set of models. I think there are a lot of other models they could make that haven't been done and are in demand.
I am still waiting for anyone to do a BR01 from 52-56 with witte deflectors and 2 headlights. |
