The BR 03.10 was the lightweight version of the heavier BR 01.10. After the WW 2, the streamlined locos were stripped of their streamlined casing and spent their last days as normal locos...  The 3089 came in the early 70:s in Märklin program and the streamlined 03.10 has appeared in several updated versions since then...  This is a black version.

Derailment sensitivity  5 All metal body, very heavy
Speed characteristics  4 The LFCM motor gives it enough power
Detailing and looks  2 Not many details on a streamlined loco, and the screw at the top of the body is really visible
Model choice factor  4 I like streamlined locos....
Features  2 Nothing, except that smoke can be added 
Playability for children  5 This can dropped to the floor several times
Fun for children  3 It looks odd, that's all
Over all  3 A good representative of the older standards, much metal - little detail...


It is a sturdy loco that can take a beating when children handle it. The newer reworked versions of 03.10 than came in the 1990:s are better looking, and have DCM motor. The 3094 is not a fragile "model", more like a sturdy "toy". But as a "toy" it performs its duties with excellence thanks to the powerful motor. Unfortunately my particular model has a very worn cogwheel made of plastic so it just sits and makes noise...  If I compare it with the 3089, the 3089 has all metal gears...  I suspect this one came from some starter kit.
