Have won a new (in the sence never used) 3084. From H.Kerns page I have this information: 3084 1974-1996 Relais IV 050 082-7 DB schwarz, mit Kabinentender. But unfortunately no mention of the motor type. As this loco was produced over 22 years, I would like to find out if possible an approximate production year. I have the following clues to give, so maybe members here have an idea. It does not have a serial no. sticker underneath (indicates some age). It is "made in Germany" (not Western Germany). The cabin tender only holds the direction relay - no rear light bulb. The motor looks like a standard DCM. The copper lip for a smoke gen. is present. The Engine Operation "panel" is present in the drivers cabin. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance [:p] [img]  [/img] |

From the carton, I will guess it an early one, 1974-1977 or so. I remember this subject was up only a couple of month ago, and someone stated the changes of 3084 during the years of production. Maybe somebody can find the link.

Thanks Kenneth. My short memory fails me. [:0] I can't remember reading it. I have searched and searched, but I don't seem to find the right search term.
Maybe another member recalls.

Did I make a list like this some time ago? I cannot recall. According to Märklin Archiv: 1974 - 1981, simple cross head and wire type radius bar 1982 - 1983, detailed cross head, wire type radius bar 1983 - 1996, detailed cross head, bar type radius bar This means that it was som overlap in 1983. A photo of the 1974 - 1981 rods:  |

Thanks Svein.
Am still searching, I found a photo of yours in the topic Marklin 3084 Cylinder Linkage
EDITED: Entries crossing. That photo is the one.
This is the linkage on my 3084. So it is narrowed down to 1974-1981 and further down to 1974-1977 by Kenneths saying about the colourful carton (assuming it is the original box of course).
Thanks guys. |

Hi Ian.
Found your topic, very good information in it.
Amazing having tyres on all driving wheels. Mine only has 4. Wonder why this was done for a period only. |
