Joined: 05/12/2004(UTC) Posts: 2,865 Location: CA, USA		Hi everyone, A quick pair of questions regarding the electric locomotives I mention above. Does anyone know the following: 1- which ran freight, passenger, or both in real life? 2- Which of these did Marklin ever market with freight cars in a set, or for freight trains? (If any) Thanks in advance! I own all 4, but have no more vintage passenger compositions in need of locomotives. I was wondering if any were either prototype "correct" or Marklin "correct" to run freight. I also know these are toys and it doesn't matter, but I'd like to try and rationalize it!

Class 110 were mostly used for passenger trains, but also for freight trains. Class 140 were often used for freight trains, but some had push/pull control specifically for passenger trains. Even class 151 locos could be seen with passenger trains.

They also made sets with the green E40 and passenger cars but that's not what you asked. I'm not aware of any Marklin sets containing a green Br141/E41 with freight cars, but I stand to be corrected. As far as I know the Br141 was more commonly used for local and commuter passenger trains.

Now for a few bonus questions : 1 - Which of the 3034/37/39/40 (if any would be appropriate) would be appropriate for a passenger train with the "popwagen" livery? 2- while we are at it- the V200 in its original red: passenger only, or freight as well?

Re 2: Both freight and passenger trains. Even a TEE with two coaches is possible. Originally Posted by: RayF As far as I know the Br141 was more commonly used for local and commuter passenger trains. They were the light-weight electrics for branchlines and were used for all sorts of branchline traffic.
