Hi everyone. I just wanted to start a topic on the ALCO PA-1 models Märklin has made over the years. I have two: 29571 fx NYC and the Santa Fe double unit. What version(s) do you have? Please respond in this topic about it. As a side note, I wonder if Märklin will make anymore American models this coming year? I hope a PRR PA-1 or GG1. That'd be nice!  Cheers! Tadzio. |

Tadzio, I have the same 2 models you mentioned, as well as the 29490 PRR GG1 set mentioned below. Starter Set 29571 was my first Marklin set, so it has seen a lot of use! |

I do have the NYC version from the starter set, it is a noisy and weak model but still big and impressive, there are other better US models. |

I'll pick my 37613 up next month to the shop . He still has few PA1 in stock. From Rio Grande or SP , I wonder which Cie is the most famous or has the best or brightest image in the American mind and for Americans from the USA ? Which one is a legend ? (which Cie or which line )
The Euro is now stabilized around 1.30 $... He will not get higher (and probably will continue to go down ...1.20 $ should be ideal for Europe) So, I think Marklin will come back to the production of US models soon.
Another good new for Marklin is about the Hungarian currency which is seriously falling down...(they have a factory in Gyor-Hungary)

Hi Roland  ... now you really got me, that's one most difficult question  Frankly - I do love all of 'em - plus a few smaller railroads too, of course. But if you go for fame or size you surely are right on the money by looking at my signature. Since our M always showed excellent sense by releasing the right companies, locos and cars |

HiI have two, the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific. The Southern has a MFX decoder and better sounds, also it drives in a better way the two motors and the color is just impressive. The Santa Fe one is also a beautiful machine, but the sounds and the problems driving the two engines have make me think on making it an upgrade to MFX.
The Alco PA 1 was a great looking locomotive, unfortunately it had a lot of problems with the original motors and electrical components making it an unsuccessful locomotive. Almost all locomotives were scrapped or sold to other countries. One has returned to USA and it is on restoration, only one operative in Mexico (actually with the SP colors) and one non operative displayed in Brazil.
Regards
Eduardo

The new MäTrix decoders (used in recent F7s) do not sound as good as those - not sure if there is a difference with respect to motor control. |

There could be a long debate on "Legendary US Railroad.." and who's the "Most Famous"! Actually, in the US, Model Railroaders characterize themselves first by the RR they model! Pennsylvania certainly was very much the King of the road in the East : the races stories between NYC and PRR between Chicago and New York, Horseshoe Curve and long coal drags in the Apalachians are certainly the stuff of legends SP is cetrainly the most recognizable, especially their famous "Warbonnet" livery. They invented luxury trains witha flair: the "Chiefs" could never be equalled! But my vote goes to Union Pacific! Always showing the way for bigger and better power (Big Boy, Turbines, Centennials...etc). Also they build a good part of the transcontinental line, and they are the only survivor of the "original" 19th century RR companies You guessed it: I have the (dual unit) Alco PA in UP colors! Strong pulller: 60 US freight cars? No problem! Cheers |

I've got the set 37610+49610 (UP A+A)
I acquired them in St Louis MO, even!
Actually, they need a service -- the traction tyres need replacing, it seems... |

Speaking strictly for the PA-1 (and not the railroad itself), the D&RG PA's are by far more famous. The railway used them on a lot fo different trains. The SP ones are Daylight only in the livery marklin offered, and I have to question how many sets of those they had. (off topic, but the only locomotive really well known for this livery was the GS-4 steamer) |

I Have the UP 37610 + 49610 and i really like the models. But as somebody said above, 37610 runs best without the booster 49610. However, the heavy weight and look is very impressive - Hard to say no to this models Marklin made the UP 600 passanger serie. IRL the UP did not use those locos as 600's so meny years. After some XX years, UP renumbered some of the 600's to 4-digits numbers, some was sold and some was rebuilt. Because of this, its not easy today to find pictures of a UP PA as 600's or even 4-digits. (I have a few in my computor) In my opinion, M already made the 3 best looking color schemes: Union Pacific, Santa fe red/yellow/silver warbonnet, and the Rio Grande 4-stripe. But there is ofcause meny meny more color schemes to thoose. Example: Rio Grande used 3 different color schemes on PA's (1)Yellow/Black (2)Yellow/Silver 4-stripe (3)Yellow/Silver 1-stripe New Haven also had 3 different color schemes. Black/White/Red the latest. And theres a lot more. So no problem to find new PA's to make if M want. |

I've got the UP set 37610 + 49610 (bought in St Louis, MO, no less...) Last week I gave it a gallop at NevW's, and lubricated it (since I don't remember doing it since I bought it) It started "surging" -- the motor was racing, but the track speed was slow, and it had trouble pulling the California Zephyr set. I suspect either: - The traction tyres have perished, or
- I accidentally got oil under the traction tyres.

I have the Southern Pacific PA-1 A-A Unit by Märklin. I´m satisfied with it. I think that together with the Big Boy it´s the strongest puller I have in my collection. The only bad thing is that it is way too loud! I don´t even need to turn on the sound, since the motor itself is VERY noisy!
My PA-1 is destined to pull a 13 car SP Sunset Limited consist in future as this is 100% prototypical. But authentic cars are not in sight yet, so it will occasionally pull my Golden State when the E7´s take a rest.

Well, the Sunset Limited cars don´t even exist yet. If you want to have a prototypical correct train, you need to buy brass models that are available of this train, which are extremly expensive, and they absolutely don´t run on Märklin tracks, since they even need more than R5 to pass through curves! Unfortunately, nothing in plastic is available. There are many prototypical Daylight plastic cars produced by many manufacturers in Ho scale, but no Sunset Limited cars. The only plastic car available on the market that really is correct for the Sunset Limited is the Walthers 10-6 Budd sleeper. Well, with only one proper car there is still no way for me have this train yet.

I got the first one in my hands 37610-49610 Union Pacific.It is the best marklin loco i have ever seen. Heavy machine with top guality motor,great sounds,great detail on the shell of the loco.The most impressive is the quality of the paint.I am very huppy with my choise.I am expecting the second one the Southern Pacific 37613.I think that i will get all of them.

KingB, I've got a few. Look up the pics on 'Equity Junction' on p2 of the 'Me and my layout' section on this forum. Several PA-1's, singles and doubles, and a F-7. Also some steamers, Big Boy and a Mikado and a GP-35 and a Heisler steamer. The latter 2 were converted to 3R and are other brands.
