Hi to all,
Does anyone know if the 3029 steam loco has a prototype and if so, what is it?
Thanks

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the forum.

No there is no real prototype for the 3029. It is just a small steam loco which shows some typical characteristics of small German steamers.

But is so nice, that it was also copied by other manufacturers:

The company was later known as MAJORETTE.

...and it was even copied in N gauge by Atlas/Rivarossi: BigGrin http://www.ebay.fr/itm/R...1178?hash=item35a0c1f02a Original producer of this copy was Roco, as Markus Schild once pointed out in an earlier thread.

Apart from the cut-out along the bottom of the side tanks the 3029 looks a lot like the Bavarian R 3/3.

Yes, and it also looks a bit like the Prussian T3/BR 89.7 which seemed to go through quite a few variations in shapearnold0222d.jpg

While not an exact copy of the prototype, #3029 seems to resemble rather well the former Prussian T8, later known as BR 89. Perhaps that is the reason Marklin chose to emblazon its catalog number instead of class nomenclature, since model #3000--produced concurrently--also shares the class number.

Your post is very confusing.
Your picture shows a loco of class "89.70–75" aka "Preußische T 3". Märklin made models of this loco starting with #37140.

Your text mentions the old class 89.0 aka "Preußische T 8". Märklin made a model if this class as #3104.
All locos of class 89.0 had been retired by DR when they introduced the new class 89.0, the prototype of Märklin #3000.

Märklin 3029 is very similar to class "89.70–75" (#37140), but several other tank locos of that time were also similar.

BR 89.7 is the "Bayerische R 3/3" mentioned by Ray.
The Prussian T 3 is class 89.70–75.

The 89.x number range (Stammnummer 89 in German) combines about 19 classes of 0-6-0 tank locos. Many of these different classes are often incorrectly called "class 89".
