Manual now available online view PDF for 39042 and 39225.

>39042 MANUAL<

>39225 MANUAL< All 32 functions!

The instructions for the 39225 seem to be not correct for a "39" series motor. These instructions shown are the same for my twin Lok set 37225

which are the E194 and E94 Loks which have brushes. Peter

Since the demise of the C-Sine motor the 39xxx designation just seems to mean 'more expensive version' ...

Hi all,
Of course I may not be able to see the big picture, but to my eye the number series used by Marklin are completely meaningless to the customer.
They are probably meaningful to the factory, and may relate to product sourcing, shift responsibilities, or release schedules. Who knows?
I have never worked in a manufacturing environment.

Hi Kimball,

well, I really do not know the ideas of Maerklin, but as far as I understand Maerklin's loco numbers they use the real original old and/or changed numbers as an example for all of their locos. I am not an expert, but I think that all of the models from Maerklin were one time existing somewhere in the world.

In German communities there are real experts present and a storm of anger (or do I better say outrage or outcry?) erupts, if the locos does not align with the original ones. They compare it with other producers of locos (like Roco, Fleischman, etc) as well as with the original ones. They scream out about the the differences to the original. Every design engineer of a railroad model has a hard job to design the loco very exactly to the original and considering real production cost for the model.

Of course there are plenty of books, articles, etc. explaining the schedules and/or numbering of loco class characterisations. It is so voluminous, I decided, to show here only a few links, most of them from the German Wikipedia. I keep them in German, but by most of the articles you find on the left side a button to get the text in English. If not, please apologize and help yourself. The documents are voluminous. But most of the links includes pictures, tables and graphics which are already informative without reading the text. And honestly: I myself did not read all these documents yet.

Enjoy studying the German railway numbering. The weekend will be long.

Here are a few links – only the first one is in English and perhaps most interesting to you:

P.S.: please help me too to improve my English and give me a feedback about strange mistakes I did in your language. Please feel free too to ask for German abbriviations you do not understand like "DLW", which is here used as "Dampflokwerk" = production plant for a steamer locomotive. There is still one e.g. in Meiningen, Germany.

I hadn't picked up on that happening Tom, but reading your post I realized they have done the same with a 36xxx number in that all the 3624x models are Br24 locos. That is just one that I have recognized, there may be others.

They don't write "accidentally" and I still think they chose the number 39042 intentionally.

Märklin have never been really strict with respect to prototype class numbers.
They printed manuals with "BR 43" on the cover.
They often write BR 38 or BR 55, but they never made models of BR 38 (but they made the BR 038) and they never made models of BR 55 (but they made models of BR 055). Märklin didn't make an H0 model of BR 18 yet.

In real life BR 42 was a completely new construction.
When you see a Mikado you can be sure it is not BR 42. When you see a Decapod you can be sure it is not BR 042.
Is the difference of the axle configuration the "major difference"?
They mention the truly unique headlights of the BR 42.

Classes BR 43 and BR 043 have the same axle configuration, so have BR 52 and BR 052. What are the major differences between those pairs?


Completely off topic as the store loco is BR 24, not BR 42.
As usual there is a premium of €50 for the handmade weathering.

No, no, no.
The locos that became class 038 in era IV were known as class 38.10-40 in era III.
The locos that became class 055 in era IV were known as class 55.25-56 in era III.

"Class 38" is the deprecated short form for "class 38.0"

Märklin fans can easily say "class 38" to refer to "class 38.10-40" as this is the only Märklin model from the 38 class range.
An incorrect term used and understood by a small in-group is still incorrect.

First 37871 Toy fair on ebay.

Image of tin box and package. >EBAY.DE<

My guestimate is announcement very late May,say on the 28th.
This happened in earlier years.

Possible next week if 39170 BR103.1 out.

Or 4/2017?

The 37871 E93 toyfair is now sold out and no more available from Marklin. Grab one if you in hurry otherwise all gone in few months time I think so!

Also Insider BR103.1 Trix version now available (Marklin version not delivery yet) and red lining at front and rear look superb!

Fall 2017 will be online in three weeks time.

That would be about right, so you can pick up a hard copy of it at the show ...

In page 59 of Marklin Magazin 04/2017 in English version confirm the surprise with these words:

"Surprise model

Almost as goo as unpacking Christmas presents, or looking for the Easter eggs - that's what the appearance of Marklin's annual surprise loco is for model railroaders. Now we're almost there again: The surprise loco for 2017 comes forward. Look forward to an unusual loco which made European railroad history and which this fall is going to make an appearance as a star on the cinema screen"

The loco in the video is not a Pacific (231) but a Mountain 241 A.
If Märklin makes one, it will sell, at least here in France ans also in Switzerland where the restored exemplar is maintained. . We have been needing a 241A ever since Jouef stopped making them.
But seeing is believing

I seen it , The 5/2017 will be out October but delay 2-3 weeks for Marklin days report.

The surprise loco may not included Fall 2017 new items brochure but wait till October to find out, The surprise loco will be included Catalogue 2017/18.

What does this locomotive look like? I searched KLVM locomotive but didn't seem to find anything relevant. Do you think Marklin will introduce new Orient Express coaches?

David

That is a sick joke.
Marklin surprise locomotives is serious stuff!

Edited by user 18 August 2017 19:59:39(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

Could it be the French EST 241-040, which is in this years remake of "Murder on the Orient Express?" This is slightly different to the more well-known 241P.

Peter

Thank you very much for this beautiful and well done video. Indeed, it is amazing why Maerklin has such a loco not yet offered within the last ten years. It is an "urgent must"! (like a BR 01 or 03 from Germany).

Found some more information about the loco typ "SNCF 241 P 17":

in French
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/241_P_17

in English
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCF_Class_241P

http://www.joueftrains.com/8241.htm

in German
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCF_241_P

All three language articles are of interest, because they show various pictures and give some technical informations about these locos.

P.S.: but I still do not understand, which loco is this "KLVM" (mentioned by MaerklinLife post #237)? Do you know it? Because the one KLVM - I brought up - is a phantasy modell form Maerklin. But it shall base of an old loco, the "Schmalspur-C-Kuppler der Steiermärkischen Landesbahn" (narrow-gauge railway-C-Coupler of the styria provincial railway), from Austria.

http://www.stlb.at/nosta...reizeit/dampfzugfahrten/

Or shall this beauty "SNCF 214 P 17" be the loco KLVM, mentioned by MaerklinLife?


P.P.S.: NL 1200 - cannot agree with your statement about French cars and locomotives. I like this loco 214 P 17 very quickly. Whereas French cars are still special. O.K., now I can buy an Opel to get a French car. But did not the Dutch like Opel always very much?

Well,

I did not imagine that French trains and cars were such subjects of controversy

- owner of a French car now, the previous was an Opel -,

I would be pleasantly surprised if our favorite model train brand
was interested in delivering a purely French steamer, the first one in HO ?

Best Regards
Joël
