were there any locos like BR 40, 41, 42, 43

Or BR71,72,73,or 74??
If so who may have made a model of each.


Thought they make suitable presents for Birthdays or anniversaries.

Thanks,
Nev

Marklin have done the 41, 43, 44. Don't know about the others

Its a thought

[:p][:p]

do you have a number.

I think you will find that the leading '0' on the steam loco numbers were added at the start of Epoch 4 to bring their numbering into the computer age where all loco numbers were of the form CCC NNN-X where CCC was the class, NNN the number within the class and X a checksum digit calculated from the previous 6 digits. Where there were more that 999 locos within a class then two consecutive class numbers were used, e.g. 011 and 012 were originally BR 01's (in effect CC NNNN-X).

Of course, the BR41 (041) and BR42 (042) classes were completely different, the former being Einheitsloks type 1'D1' h2 introduced in 1936 whereas the latter were (except for the BR42.90 series) Kriegsloks type 1'E h2 introduced during WW2. The BR43 (introduced in 1926) had the same wheel layout as the 42 but with three cylinders which makes the front end a bit more interesting. (In N and Z) Arnold, Marklin and Trix made BR41s and Roco made the BR43. No-one made the BR42 except that Marklin and Trix made the BR42.90, as did Marklin.

Re BR71,72,73,or 74.
Only Intermodel made a (Prussian design) 1'B1' BR71 and at a hell of a price! I haven't checked the Epoch 1 versions of this loco. As far as I can see no one has made BR72's and 73's. The (ex Prussian T12) 1'C h2t BR74.4-13 is/was produced by Arnold and, of course, Marklin.

Thanks all for the information.

Maybe BR 042 (with oil tender as all BR 042 had oil tenders) will come 2010 or 2011 or one of these years.
Same boiler as the new 03.10 coming 2010, but a new BR 042 is pure speculation now.
Makes sence that M* will exploit the new mould for as many locos as possible. But I don't expect it in 2010 as it would be competition for the exclusive insider model.

BR 42.90 (available from Märklin) is not a BR 42, it's a modified BR 52.

There was a BR 71.
Liliput introduced a H0 model in 2009.

Neither of the classes 72, 73, 74 existed.
These numbers (and 71 also) were used to list several era I classes.

Märklin made a model of BR 74.4-13 (e. g. #30951) and introduced a new mould in 2009 starter sets (#29161).

Hi!

I think Chris is mainly correct.
There are several classes that were assigned to multiple "class" numbers in 1968, including class 50 (050, 051, 052, 053), class 01.10 (011 (coal), 012 (oil)), class 41 (041 (coal), 042 (oil)), class 44 (044 (coal), 043 (oil)).
Both class 041 and 042 are former class 41 locos.

BTW: class 01 is completely different from class 01.10.
They had more than 100 classes they needed to register, so the digits behind the dot do make a difference.

DB never had class 43 locos. Classes 42 and 52 were out of service before 1968. There never was a class 11 or class 12 with DRG, DR, or DB.

Fleischmann made a BR 43 in H0, not Roco.

Chris, since this is the General MRR forum we should specify the gauge for every model we mention (I didn't either).
So for BR 43, we have:
Gauge H0: Micro-Metakit and Fleischmann
Gauge N: Roco
