Hi all, Today I received the 28451 set which contains a small diesel made by Fleischmann for Marklin. It is a Delta loco and comes set for analogue operation. I need to get into it to change the DIP switches but I can't see any obvious way of removing the body. The set did not bring its manual. Can anyone help? The set looks like this:  Edited by user 06 June 2018 00:11:39(UTC)

Ray, It is easy. Here is the recipe in Dutch: http://wiki.modelspoorwi...3%A4rklin_Strukton_O%26KThe warningsign simply says that the Marklin guarantee is not applicable if you open it up. The hood can be easily removed by gently pushing the buffers down,apparently the hood is fixed to the motorpart without bolts. Note that the two sides of the loco are not identical,so when putting the hood back just gently push,if it does not fit,you have the hood in the wrong direction. Mind you,the old Fleischmann version required turning the buffers outward,with the coupling falling out. Please note that the Fleischmann/Marklin model never worked for Strukton. Like so many other private railcompanies,Strukton used the Orenstein und Koppel industrial shunters but not this type. There was a 3-axle loco coming very close,please see piuctures: http://www.industriespoo...rovincieUtrecht.htm#Tinyhttp://www.industriespoo.../tekeningO&KMC14.htmCheers, Paul. |

It is a funny little shuntingloco in my opinion. I bought one myself when I was visiting Eurospoor. Here you have the fleischmann manual  hl-1306+1306F.pdf (720kb) downloaded 63 time(s)..thomas |

Whilst on the subject of small Dutch shunters,what about Marklin 28452?
It is a nice set in Railbouw Leerdam colors,a constructioncompany involved in laying track.
The set holds an interesting locomotive,a variant of the well known Marklin 3078,this time with couplingbars on the wheels,nice!
It also holds three interesting NS railwaycars with delicate gripbars,the socalled Bollenwagens ("Bowlcars) unique for The Netherlands,usually holding powdered subtances.
This set is still on my wishlist.
And of course the set 2845,another Railbouw Leerdam set,this also needs to be bought by me.
Cheers,
Paul. |

Cheers,
Paul. Definitely both those sets sets on my list too! Also on my list is the 2890 postal set, 2854 Mannesmann pipe train, 2857 Wurtemberg freight set, 2847 Swiss freight set, 2861 sugar beet set, and a few others I can't recall just now! I have already many of the train sets offered by Marklin over the years. I love the way they often include locos and cars not found separately. I wish I could afford to buy them all! |

Ray,many of these small sets from the seventies and eighties come at affordable prices and as you say the locomotives can be rather unique. What about: 2855 V100 weathered with 6 tankcars VTG 2858 V36 diesel with 4 red thunderbarrels 2860 E 52 in burgundy with Bavarian coaches 2864 Lollo diesel with 4 long DB coaches 2865 Br 75 with 3 4 axle coaches 2867 E 111 with Lufthansa coaches 2868 E 103 with Lufthansa coaches 2874 V63 with 3 small container cars. 2850 E 04 with 3 DRG coaches 2852 E 103 with 3 long TEE coaches 2853 V60 worktrain And probably there are more!

I've just got one of these. And as you say it is good value. There are solid rails on the large flatcar and ties on the smaller flatcar, which I haven't seen elsewhere. Plus, as a result the two cars are quite solid. Pictures are in the 2018 Locomotives thread (I know Ray has seen them), but I'll repost them here.

I found this photo on the net:  This one is a different shape but the right colours.  |

Anyone can make a joke, but I was asking a question to which I was hoping to get a sensible answer. Of course I got the Pulp Fiction reference, and no it didn't help me take the body off my loco. Fortunately a couple of people did help me and I was able to resolve the problem. |

Ray,
Depends how far you want to go.
Over recent years,superdetailing seems to get the upperhand,also with Marklin.
People prepared to pay over Euro 400 for a loco because it has so much (plastic!) detail.
Model loco drivers have been absent for a long time,and when they show up in the cabins they do not move and wear shiny uniforms!
So,how much detail do we need?
For me,the classic NS 1200 is more realistic as compared to the updated versions,having the much too large handgrips on the hoods,horrible!
Read comments on the German Stummi forum about detailing,people checking every single 0.5 mm detail on new models and saying something is not as per prototype,amazing! |

Hi Ray, Every Märklin user knows, that the prototype of the 3044 really exists. Who will call into question that the MIBA (1969/3b) is right:  Translation: This diesel - engine with a pantograph really exists: It is in service in the USA. Don't worry about the buffers.
