Try this ... unnamed.png (1,407kb) downloaded 87 time(s).

Try this ... unnamed.png (1,407kb) downloaded 87 time(s). Thanks for the image. Indeed, it seems to be a real flag. The photo I showed is the link to the Märklin website photo, so probably the model has it as a painting and a real flag was used for the celebration trip. P.S.: As I found on the other thread that the model is not so close to the prototype, I am not ordering it.

Joined: 27/07/2016(UTC) Posts: 13 Location: California, Santa Rosa		I'm getting a bit nervous. I just got an email announcing a new non-catalog item -Marklin 27918 Union Pacific 2 car tank car set. It looks pretty cool BUT... on close inspection the wheels aren't much to look at, it's half the length of the prototype and appears to be plastic? That's all OK, but checking dealers prices it will set the purchaser back $90 +/-. I hope this is not the future of Marklin pricing strategy. That's a lot of money for what appears to be a couple of small plastic tank cars.

Joined: 16/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 15,372 Location: DE-NW		It is an April fools day special edition: "Einmalige Auflage zum 1. April 2022". German tank cars in UP livery. Road numbers 0104 and 2022 for the date 01. April 2022. I think I'll skip it. Originally Posted by: amysdad It looks pretty cool BUT... on close inspection the wheels aren't much to look at, it's half the length of the prototype and appears to be plastic? The cars have buffers - not really typical for US rolling stock. Originally Posted by: kiwiAlan Also you have the catalog number wrong. 47918 is the correct number.

The cars have buffers - not really typical for US rolling stock. This is because they appear to be using the Heavy Oil tank wagons of other 4391x series models instead of a US prototype.

That would be nice, but I am not holding my breath. In the past the extra tankers were for water and not fuel, since steam locos use a lot more water than fuel by volume. When used to haul extra water they were called canteens. Most railroads replenished water twice as often as fuel in normal use, but that was for coal burners and it might be different for oil burners. Märklin implies that they were for fuel oil, but I have not tried to determine what these tank cars were actually used for during excursion use.

Joined: 05/12/2008(UTC) Posts: 1,737 Location: Crozet, Virginia		A quick search indicates that these are indeed water tankers or canteens, and appropriate for coal and oil fired locos. Here is a quote from KATO about their water tenders: "Accompanying the "living legend" FEF-3 is always at least one of a pair of Union Pacific Water Tenders, carrying spare water for the steam engine (Water filling stations being a rarity in the diesel era). These unique re-built cars have seen service as both Steam and Gas Turbine Electric fuel tenders before finally settling into their current forms as part of UP's steam heritage fleet where they operate as separate (but always-present) cars."

These are essentially the water tenders which would go with item #43617, although they are not the correct tank bodies, the livery is correct. I suspect they are as close as we will ever get to the correct canteens, which at least are similar to the ones they used. I want an expansion set for the 43617, with more coaches and an observation coach, but I will be surprised if one ever appears.

In their defence, it's the first image that appears on Shutterstock when you search for Denmark + Landscape.

I figured since I've already got the G2000 and the Vectron Store locos, I wouldn't bother with the Class 66. I've been making up some black container loads with the Marklin logo on them (a friend had some sticky labels made up for me), so replicating the new container wagon would not be hard.

Hmm, some nice items there ... BUT already replacing the C track turntable??? At least this one looks weathered from production. Replacements for the 73400 series coach interior lights, now with capacitors. An expensive track plan book in both German and English (seperate books). The Br03 "Schorsch“ in G1. I like the Br101 in Dampfbahn-Route livery in both H0 and Z. The Store Loco has serious white bibs on the ends, which glare somewhat against the black loco. A G2000 in Belgian livery. A wagon set to go with the 'Das ist grun' Br193 Vectron. Most of the rest of the H0 stuff we have already seen.

It appears that Maerklin has retooled the model so that it no longer features a window insert with a painted strut and the model will have this element molded as part of the metal frame. This means that it will not be possible to retrofit older models with the window panes from this new model. It makes sense in that the window was a weak point of the Maerklin model compared to those of Hag, Roco and Piko. I am a little concerned that the model (sample) illustrated shows the handrail situated a little too close to the window. IMHO this should be a mm lower on the model. Regards Mike C

That's the Märklinist point of view. The real railway differentiates between BR 02 0201, BR 02 0314, and BR 02 - three completely different classes. Writing "BR 02" means "BR 02 0201" when talking about Roco, but means "BR 02 0314" when talking about Märklin while it means "BR 02" when talking about Brawa. Proposal: drop the "BR" when you just use the first two digits of the road number.

This time around there's also some freight wagons to go with the Vectron - the 47153 wagon set.

Interestingly the Vectron doesn't appear in the Trix version of the brochure, just the Marklin wagonset with the wheel exchange info.

Sorry, I meant 02, lack of proof reading on my part before going to bed I see they have motivated the Lokfuher so he 'moves' the controls, now i have read the English version. Will have to watch the video to see if they illustrate the action.

The track plan book looks a starter for me, though as you say it isn't cheap. I've got the previous 2 Store locos so I will pass on this one. I quite like the wagon set with timber loads. Again 200€ isn't cheap.... The book has 160 pages, with 25 plans in K and C track. But I wonder if this is really just a reprint of layouts presented in the Marklin Magazine. I'm up for the store Loco and wagon, but now I need to expand the number of wagons so that each loco has a full set ... I guess we are just going to have to get used to prices forever creeping up as material availability/supply and shipping costs keep climbing. Somewhere along the line we will need to recalibrate ourselves to the new 'normal' price.
