Product Features and Details
Brand New Condition Never Run
Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 01. Locomotive as it looked around 1966 with the older design boiler and Witte smoke deflectors.
Model: The locomotive has a controlled C-Sine high-efficiency propulsion in a compact design with an mfx decoder and a sound generator. 3 axles powered, 2 traction tires. The tender is made of metal. There is a close coupling between the locomotive and tender that can be adjusted for different curves. The locomotive is ready for installation of the 7226 smoke generator. The locomotive has triple headlights that change over with the direction of travel and a smoke generator contact. Both will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The locomotive whistle and steam locomotive operating sounds as well as the acceleration and braking delay can be controlled digitally with a Control Unit or Märklin Systems. The sounds of air compressors, the flickering glow from the firebox, the sound of brakes squealing, and a short whistle blast for switching operations can be controlled digitally with Märklin Systems. Three additional sound functions (letting off steam, the sound of coal being shoveled, and the sound of the grate being shaken) can be activated with the 60212 Central Station. There is a close coupler with a guide mechanism and an NEM coupler pocket on the tender. Minimum radius for operation 360 mm / 14-3/16". Length over the buffers 27.5 cm / 10-13/16".

The two-cylinder class 01 locomotives were delivered starting in 1925 as the first express locomotives from the German State Railroad’s standard design program. Of the total of 231 units placed into service, those locomotives with road numbers from 01 102 on had reinforced brakes and front pilot truck wheels with a diameter of 1,000 mm / 39-3/8". This allowed the maximum speed to be increased from 120 to 130 km/h / 75 to 81 mph.
The DB express train passenger cars from the 43929 car set as well as item nos. 43910, 43920, 43930, 43940, and 43950 go well with this locomotive.
