I am just curious, is the dump car item 4413 a fantasy car or is it a model of an actual freight car?

I believe it is fantasy.

I painted the earlier version, 4413, brown to look less fantastic:

Not really a fantasy car. In German they are called "Kipplore", which might be a tipper wagon. Mainly used not in regular long distance trains, but on field railways. See here

https://www.museumsfeldbahn.de/wagen/78

or here in action.

https://de.wikipedia.org...Enttr%C3%BCmmerungen.jpg

More description about a "Feldbahn" (field railway) read here, please.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldbahn

Do not know why Märklin did not name it as "LORE". Some people do it, still today.

http://meine-kleine-eise...Selbstentladewagen-W5079

But today in business they are mainly replaced by tipper body trucks with 4 or 6 wheel drives.

Nevertheless there are such Feldbahnen still existing in Germany and used for people transport as well.

I have three of these and I have also painted them brown, though in real life this type of wagon could be any colour, including "deep rust" BigGrin

All,

Thank you for the information and photos! I have been trying to research the car and found very little information on any prototype but I did learn that it has been part of the Marklin line for a great deal of time.

It has certainly changed a lot over time. I think the red tipper has always been plastic, but the end support pieces were originally metal. The very earliest ones had a little latch that you pulled up vertically to release the tipper so it will tip sideways.

Later on there was some spring latch arrangement so the hand operated latch was no longer needed. Later the plastic support version that RayF has shown arrived on the scene - but I don't know just when this change was made.

Of more recent time the tipper has been released in various colours, one of the Start Up add-on sets had three wagons with different coloured tippers, none of them red, IIRC there was blue, yellow and green. There have also been versions with a black tipper in some start sets.

this style of wagon is common in mining operations - but typically on small gauge track - as TEEWolf says - on Feldbahn operations.

The metal framed version of this wagon was the 4513, which was in the catalogue until 1976. Around that time all 45xx wagons were being replaced by the all-plastic 44xx series, and in 1977 the 4413 appeared for the first time.

The hopper itself was used also in the Minex narrow gauge range as a double unit, and this double unit also appeared in the Gauge 1 range.

There was also the Silver one from 1953 only, not painted but actual silver plastic - very hard to find by all accounts....

In mining parlance it is called a cocopan, all over Southern Africa at least. The derivation of the word, for your trivial pursuit winner, is from the Nguni word nqukumbana. The Nguni languages include Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele, and many others.
N'jabez Cool

PS. I had one in my first Maerklin set from Germany in 1948 or so. As I recall it was metal, painted red, and had a spring clip to release the pan.

When I studied Zulu, I learned that they were called "ingolovane". Which is the diminutive of inqola which is a cart or small wagon. (Also means ant.)

Plural would be Izingolovane. Sometimes the word is also used for a wheelbarrow.

Now, the locative form ("place of ") of Izingolovane is Izingolweni, and in southern Natal there is a narrow gauge railway that used to be powered with steam garret locos and one of the stations is Izingolweni - the place of the little carts.....

My grandfather, who worked at a colliery in the 1920s in SA, made a cocopan cart out of brass by hand. I took some pictures:
IMG_20190519_150624.jpg

IMG_20190519_150634.jpg

I forgot to measure, but I think the track is about 25mm wide.

Thanks Markus, that may be my mistake, I was sure I read somewhere (Koll's ?) that they were hard to fake because the colour was in the plastic but appears I was wrong.

Personally I've never seen any other than Red. Something to watch for.

Thanks for the expanded explanation. The word 'ingolovane' is clearly cognate to 'nqukumbana' with the 'ingola' bit represented by 'nquku' and 'vane' by 'bana', taking into account the phonetic representation of sound shifts between dialects/languages. The b/v shift occurs in some European languages, e.g. Habana/Havana.

Just a note to everyone please, and no one in particular - we are a community of friends, with a common interest.

There is a growing tendency toward sarcasm in some replies, when it would be far more pleasant for all if someone has made an error, (missed a particular posting for example), to simply give a link to that article or to the overlooked portion.

One sarcastic or discourteous reply often leads to another one in response, and the next thing it's a war of words between two people who at any other time could be happily enjoying some aspect of their shared hobby together.

And sometimes, the answers are easily found outside the forum - ie 'cocopans' - I got from the gist of the thread what they were, but I just googled it anyway to confirm;

cocopan in British (ˈkəʊkəʊˌpæn ) noun
(in South Africa) a small wagon running on narrow-gauge railway lines used in mines
Also called: hopper
Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers
Word origin of 'cocopan'
C20: from Zulu 'ngkumbana short truck


So I've learnt something here also. It comes from a Zulu word, that's interesting. I quite like it. This remains an English-speaking forum, with plenty of words 'borrowed' from other languages to add flavour, and when those words are common or even unique to a particular region/country etc, and the person using the word is from the same region then the use is perfectly valid for context.

I was just quickly trying to think of a uniquely 'Kiwi' word for something railway-related but it escapes me for now.

RTFM BTW means "Read The Forgotten Manual" or any other relevant 'f' word that most easily fits your own vocabulary

I'll leave you to bring to mind and ponder the famous quote from Bambi, which I'm sure almost everyone already knows, having already been told it by their Mothers!!

Not sure whether I enjoyed most the linguistics, the conversion, the brass model, the silver colour one (there is one on ebay at the moment, whether it's original or not I cannot say - EDIT - NO, I think it's grey, not silver - sorry!) or the brown-painted ones, which look much better than the original red. The result is that as I had read this thread without the morning coffee having kicked in, I am now waiting for five of the things to be delivered...Blushing

Just found this on ebay, so not sure how long it will last, but Märklin seems to have had a version of the car in its Spur O range in 1910:

It has taken me quite a while to realize I may have made a mistake in my post above with the 82773 Mining add-on set. Blushing

The tippers in that set (and the Texas & Western set) are 4-axle cars (using the same bogies as Mother M's other US-aspect cars) without buffers for the US market...

The 4413 is 2-axle.


Sorry if this caused any other confusions.Cool

Great find, Jimmy. Having a collection of 4413's, 4513's and various wine barrel cars I now know the consist of my layout's new wine train. Now to think of ways to fill the tippers with HO-scale grape clusters...

ccranium,

...way back in the mists of time on the attached thread, Bigdaddynz mentioned that one of their club members made grapes from very small polysty balls...

The only small grape bunches (crafts/doll house) I have found are still too big (I think) approx. 1.4 cm x 2.4 cm, but perhaps it was a bumper crop this year? LOL LOL

However, hope springs eternal that someone may have a source (other than cutting the grapes off of the Busch Vineyard or off of the Preiser figures for Grape Harvest...the element of damage is pretty close on ultra-tiny things like that, I imagine...Unsure )

And there is also the ÖBB KLVM Love set 28723 with a cement-gray color for Perlmooser Zementwerke (although I do reailze that most zementwerke products use covered hoppers or silowagen...there might be some items and raw materials that can be moved in open tippers...p. s. looking for the pics Wink Wink )

...or scrap concrete to be recycled into aggregate perhaps, or ground finer to be reused at the zementwerke? Just ideas.
