Joined: 09/08/2008(UTC) Posts: 1,716 Location: Auckland,		I have a BR 03.10 that Marklin released as a one time series painted in blue. Can anyone provide some background as to the prototype? It has the catalogue number 3489. Thanks, Mike.

They seemed to think that there had been three prototypes painted in this scheme in era 3. But my loco has the Adler on the side of the tender, indicating era 2.

If you're referring to the blue 03.10 there were indeed 3 painted blue in era3, however they did not have streamlining, were based out of Dortmund and used for F-trains until 1954 when they lost their blue. Road numbers 03 1014, 03 1022 and 03 1043. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRG_Class_03.10 Roco make an accurate model of 03 1014 with AC/sound as catalog number 69281, top model. Unfortunately Marklins models of the era3 03.10 are somewhat inaccurate.

Yup, got both of those I new the one without streamlining was technically incorrect, but I can live with that. I didn't know that the streamlined version was pure Marklin fantasy.
