This exclusive double locomotive set is being produced in a one-time series on the occasion of the Swedish State Railways' (SJ) first electrified rail line 100 years ago and the historic trip of a Swiss Crocodile to Sweden to the meeting there with a Swedish class Da. Delivery is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2016.

Electric Locomotive Double Set with the SJ Da 903 and the SBB Ce 6/8 III 14305 "Crocodile" The big anniversary event on September 12/13, 2015 in the Swedish town of Gävle for the 100th anniversary of electric main line operation in Sweden offers the unusual meeting of two cult locomotives. The section of the Swedish ore line between Kiruna and Riksgränsen was finally under wire as early as 1915. The railroad museum in Gävle has a multitude of mostly Swedish electric locomotives as a rendezvous for this anniversary. The visit of the SBB Historic Swiss Crocodile Ce 6/8 III 14305 forms a special high point for this. The locomotive is being transferred from Olten (Switzerland) via Rostock (Germany) and Trelleborg (Sweden) to the Swedish town of Ängelholm. From there it will run on September 6/7 under its own power with special trains to Gävle. A special run from Stockholm to Gävle follows on the anniversary on Saturday. The trip back to Switzerland begins on September 15/16 also with special trains from Stockholm via Malmö to Ängelholm. At the anniversary in Gävle, the "Crocodile" will also meet up with the Swedish side road locomotive Da 903, also viewed as a cult locomotive. The latter was specially painted in fir green for Märklin and thereby corresponds to the paint scheme for the legendary historic Märklin model 3019. Road number Ce 6/8 III 14305 comes from the second series of the Gotthard freight locomotives, because constantly increasing freight service had caused the SBB to order another 18 "Crocodiles" in 1926/27 as road numbers Ce 6/8III 14301-14318. They had greater performance with 1,809 instead of 1,647 kilowatts / 2,426 instead of 2,209 horsepower and their power trucks now had Winterthur diagonal rod drive by means of an intermediate jackshaft. In the mid-Fifties, their maximum speed could be lifted from 65 to 75 km/h / 41 to 47 mph and they were consequently thus changed in designation to Be 6/8III 13301-13318. The Swedish class Da side rod locomotives are newer units. Due to the increasing need for electric locomotives arising from further electrification of rail lines, the SJ at the end of the Forties urgently needed additional locomotives. The SJ thus decided to revive the proven class D as a side rod driven electric locomotive with the wheel arrangement 2-6-2 even though it had been technically surpassed by that time. The basic superstructure of the new class "Da" was the same as its predecessors: The locomotive was powered by two single-phase series-wound motors that transmitted their power by means of a gear case to the jackshaft between the three driving wheel sets. The latter were connected by means of side rods to the powered jackshaft. The driving wheel sets, bearings, and the traction motors were newly designed. The windows now equipped with rubber seals now gave a modern look. Ninety-three (93) units were built by ASEA between 1953 and 1960. In the late Eighties, the SJ began to draw these locomotives from service, and by the mid Nineties, all of them were scrapped except for a few exceptions. Several units have survived in museums as well as on privately owned railroads.

One-time series (model 4 of 5).

Soon after the start of World War I the German War Ministry recognized that the multitude of different steam locomotives not only greatly affected railroad operations essential to the war effort but also the maintenance of the locomotives themselves. The War Ministry therefore requested as early as 1915 the development of a powerful standard design freight locomotive with the smallest possible axle load (16 tons). A commission was formed to complete the plans for this locomotive. This commission had representatives of the railroads and the military. In the end, the Prussian members pushed through the construction of a 2-10-0 hot steam locomotive. At the start of 1917, the Borsig Works were given the contract to generate the design documents for the new locomotive. The new "standard design locomotive" was developed in the shortest amount of time by borrowing from a 2-10-0 locomotive for Turkey. The first units were completed in 1917 and were designated the class G 12 in Prussia, Württemberg, and Baden. In Saxony, the G 12 was designated as the class XIII H. With a boiler height of 3,000 mm / 118-1/8", the Belpaire firebox, and the continuous bar frame these units had nothing more in common with Prussian locomotive building tradition. The low bar frame allowed the firebox to be set on the frame and to be widened on the sides compared to earlier sheet metal frames. For the first time the grate surface could be achieved not only with the grate length but also with the grate width. Other new features were Coale design safety valves as well as a standard design feeder water purifier. Between 1917 and 1921, 1,158 units were built just for the Prussian State Railways and later for the DRG by AEG, Borsig, Hanomag, Henschel, Krupp, Linke-Hofmann, Rheinmetall, and Schichau. The Baden, Württemberg, and Saxon State Railways ordered additional G 12 locomotives. In the DRG plan of 1925 for new class numbers the Baden G 12 units changed to the DRG class 58.2-3, the Saxon G 12 units (sä. XIII H) to the class 58.4, the Württemberg G 12 units to the class 58.5, and the Prussian G 12 units to the class 58.10-21. They were used in almost all of the German State Railroad districts. World War II caused numerous units to be left abroad, such as Bulgaria, Austria, and Poland. The locomotives remaining on the DB were retired by 1953. By contrast, the DR locomotives were indispensable for a long time and ran in their original version in the Erzgebirge region until 1976. Several G 12 locomotives have remained preserved, among them the operational road number 58 311 owned by the Ulm Railroad Fans.

Class 217 as a Double Unit During the building of the regular production V 160, there were already initial thoughts about replacing the steam heating with electric train heating as part of emerging structural changes. In 1965, Krupp delivered road number V 162 001. In addition to the 1,900 horsepower motor known from the V 160, it also had a 500 horsepower MAN diesel motor for heating. This motor powered a BBC 3-phase generator by means of a gear drive. The output of the diesel motor for heating could be used however in the summer or with freight train service to boost motive power output. Shortly after that came road number V 162 002 in February of 1966 with an AEG generator and road number V 162 003 as the last unit in October of 1966. It had a Siemens generator that was flange-mounted directly to the diesel motor for heating. All three of the V 162 (starting in 1968: 217) differed from the V 160 externally only in the framed lengthened by 400 mm / 15-3/4" as well as the altered window and cooling grill arrangement. In 1968/69, Krupp delivered twelve regular production units like these prototypes, road numbers 217 011-022. Like road number V 162 003, they were equipped with a diesel motor for heating with a three-phase generator flange-mounted directly to it and also new hydraulic gearing for 130 km/h / 81 mph (140 km/h / 87 mph after subsequent changes to the brakes). Starting in 1974 road numbers 217 001 and 002 often served as braking locomotives on test and measurement runs as part of the proving trials of new motive power. Nothing changed on them right up to their retirement in the fall of 2010 (217 001) and the fall of 2011 (217 002). They were still available as required for test and measurement runs for the FTZ in Minden and Munich. All of the class 217 units were used mostly in freight service as early as the end of the Eighties. They changed in 2000 from Regensburg to Mühldorf, where they could prove themselves pulling heavy freight trains in the Southern Bavarian chemical triangle. At the end of 2011 the last of the DB class 217 units were taken out of service. Road number 217 002 was sold in the fall of 2012 to the BTE, road numbers 217 012, 015, 017, 020, and 021 to the Palatine Railroad, and road number 217 019 to the ESG. The latter has made itself useful since August of 2014 in a blue paint scheme, mostly in Southern Germany in construction site logistics.

Road Number 182 560 in a Special Paint Scheme for "25 Years of German Reunification" In the summer of 2000, the ÖBB refused permission in general for the DB class 152 to operate on the former's rails. The DB AG reacted very quickly and ordered 25 two-system locomotives from Siemens that were extensively similar in design to the ÖBB class 1116 "Taurus" (Bull). The German dual-system locomotives can be considered as a further development of the class 152. Delivery of the new DB class 182 began in July of 2001 and was completed as early as December of 2001. Its main electrical components, the single wheel set control with four pulse converters, the three four-quadrant controllers switched in parallel for the two DC intermediate circuits, as well as the control and operation are very similar to the class 152. Essential differences are in the shape of the locomotive ends and in the design of the trucks. The striking rounded end shape with the fiberglass hood made of plastic provides an aerodynamic look. The new truck is designed for high speeds and was used for the first time on the Spanish Euro Sprinter. Its core piece is the so-called high-efficiency propulsion with separated brake shaft (HAB) that in principle corresponds to a hollow shaft propulsion with rubber cardan joints. In the Siemens nomenclature, the dual-system locomotives are known as the "ES 64 U2". These units are in use on not just the DB and the ÖBB, but also on different "state" and private transport firms. A considerable number of them consist of leased locomotives, a number of which are used by MRCE Dispolok GmbH (formerly Siemens Dispolok). Most of them have been painted in an inconspicuous black scheme. In April of 2015 ES 64 U2-060 (road number 182 560) was selected from this pool to mark "25 Years of German Reunification" with attractive adhesive film. Their ends are adorned with the striking slogan of the Leipzig Monday Demonstrations "Wir sind ein Volk" / "We are one people". In addition, one side of the locomotive celebrates "25 Jahre Deutsche Wiedervereinigung" / "25 Years of German Reunification" while the other side marks the "Tag des Mauerfalls" / "The Day the Wall Fell" in Berlin. The MRCE locomotive is used by TX Logistik.

In 1976 the German Federal Railroad placed the prototype (car number 51 80 89-80 600-5) of a new, comfortable generation of entertainment cars into service. These type WGmh 824 cars were planned to set new standards for the highest level of comfort in relation to adventure trips, rolling conferences, or excursion trips. At one end of the car was two compartments for train officials as well as a toilet, at the other end a galley with an adjoining bar. One of the two compartments for train officials served as a technology space with music equipment and control of the lighting installation. Approximately two thirds of the car was planned as entertainment space and could be used as a dining room, conference room, or dance area. Only one small seating corner was permanently installed at one end of this space. Otherwise, the interior could be arranged to meet the requirements of the occasion. Themes from cities in Lower Saxony decorated the side walls of the entertainment space. The bulkhead walls by contrast had an intertwined pattern in different colors. The car ran on Minden-Deutz type 36 trucks and was rated for 160 km/h / 100 mph. Its underframe was built in the customary manner with a frame, cross members, and plates constructed of steel. Its car body was a welded design with side walls, end walls, and roof plates. However, cross bracing had to be installed to accommodate extreme variations in the load under certain circumstances (such as during dance events) in the entertainment area. Right from the time it was placed into service, the entertainment car ran in the DB standard paint scheme of ocean blue / ivory that was current at that time.

The figures included with this car may have to be altered in size due to technical circumstances. This model can be found in a DC version in the Trix H0 assortment under item no. 23490.

One-time production for the MHI.

The Class 189 ("Teufelszebra" / "Devil's Zebra") The Railroad Transport Company (EVU) "Lokomotion Company for Railroad Motive Power, Inc." has created an unmistakable look with its "Zebra" locomotives in order to set themselves clearly apart from the competition in terms of appearance. Initially, the Lokomotion locomotives had a paint scheme of only white with blue zebra stripes. To the delight of many railroad fans came then units with red, red-blue, green, gray, and white reflective zebra stripes. The locomotives in the red "zebra look" quickly acquired the nickname "Teufels-Zebra" / "Devil's Zebra". As the first private railroad service firm, Lokomotion made use of the opportunities offered by the liberalization in Alpine transit in October of 2001 and has since developed into one of the leading railroad service firms in freight service across the Alpine area on the Brenner and Tauern axis. Focal point here are the combined service as well as carload service partially in cooperation with experienced reliable partners domestically and abroad. In Italy, this is the South Tyrol Rail Traction Company, Inc. (RTC), which has also had several of its locomotives painted in the Zebra design. A continuous production chain can thus be offered from Germany to Italy, because since 2005 a large part of the Lokomotion trains run with just a crew change at the current system border between Austria and Italy, which minimizes border stops and facilitates operations. Lokomotion uses its own and leased electric locomotives from the classes 139, 185, 186, and 189. Among the red "Devil's Zebras" are also four class 189 four-system units (Siemens nomenclature "ES 64 F4"), which run chiefly between Munich and Italy. They can be use as "new" Europa locomotives under both 15 and 25 kilovolt AC voltage and under 1.5 and 3 kilovolt DC voltage. The class 189 units are based on the DB class 152, but the former has considerable differences from its predecessor in the mechanical and especially in the electrical areas. Externally, there are two striking differences in the ribbed side walls and the headlights consisting of LEDs.

The car set to go with this locomotive can be found under item number 82288.

The DRG E 60 Electric Locomotive "Clean locomotives for switching work at electrified stations" was the DRG's slogan in the Mid-Twenties in Bavaria. It ordered two electric locomotives in 1926 especially for the extended track layouts of the Munich stations in order to be able to use this smoke-free method of operation in switching work too. The DRG stipulated the use of as many components of the newly purchased E 52 and E 91 as possible in the interests of standardized spare parts inventory. The Winterthur diagonal rod drive with a jackshaft and three coupled wheel sets came from the E 91. The drive performance was provided by a double motor that was also used on the E 52 or E 91. Originally, the locomotives had a special design pantograph with two widely spaced contact strips to better bridge separation points in the catenary. The first two units were placed into service in 1927 as E 60 01 and 02. Several small run series followed by June of 1934, the E 60 03-14, which were also used in part at other Bavarian stations. In addition to switching work, the E 60 was also planned for local freight trains and transfer work. Its characteristic design with the two hoods, the rear one being long and the front one relatively short, quickly generated its nickname "Flat Iron". After the annexation of Austria, several units went starting in 1938 to the "Annexation Area" to Innsbruck, Kufstein, and Wörgl. All of the E 60 locomotives survived the war without extensive damage and the units still in Austria came back to Bavarian as part of a locomotive swap in 1945/46. In 1957/58, the DB had the locomotives fundamentally overhauled and updated. They thus were equipped with switching platforms above the buffers, additional windows, and new wiring. By 1964 the E 60 units (from 1968 on: 160) were only running again in Bavaria. Then came Heidelberg as a new home base. The first units to be retired were in 1977 and with the storage of road number 160 012 in June of 1983 switching service with electric locomotives on the DB also ended. Road numbers 160 009, 010, and 012 remain preserved as museum locomotives.

Road Number 182 560 in a Special Paint Scheme for “25 Years of German Reunification” In the summer of 2000, the ÖBB refused permission in general for the DB class 152 to operate on the former‘s rails. The DB AG reacted very quickly and ordered 25 two-system locomotives from Siemens that were extensively similar in design to the ÖBB class 1116 “Taurus” (Bull). The German dual-system locomotives can be considered as a further development of the class 152. Delivery of the new DB class 182 began in July of 2001 and was completed as early as December of 2001. Its main electrical components, the single wheel set control with four pulse converters, the three four-quadrant controllers switched in parallel for the two DC intermediate circuits, as well as the control and operation are very similar to the class 152. Essential differences are in the shape of the locomotive ends and in the design of the trucks. The striking rounded end shape with the fiberglass hood made of plastic provides an aerodynamic look. The new truck is designed for high speeds and was used for the first time on the Spanish Euro Sprinter. Its core piece is the so-called high-efficiency propulsion with separated brake shaft (HAB) that in principle corresponds to a hollow shaft propulsion with rubber cardan joints. In the Siemens nomenclature, the dual-system locomotives are known as the “ES 64 U2”. These units are in use on not just the DB and the ÖBB, but also on different “state” and private transport firms. A considerable number of them consist of leased locomotives, a number of which are used by MRCE Dispolok GmbH (formerly Siemens Dispolok). Most of them have been painted in an inconspicuous black scheme. In April of 2015 ES 64 U2-060 (road number 182 560) was selected from this pool to mark “25 Years of German Reunification” with attractive adhesive film. Their ends are adorned with the striking slogan of the Leipzig Monday Demonstrations “Wir sind ein Volk” / “We are one people”. In addition, one side of the locomotive celebrates “25 Jahre Deutsche Wiedervereinigung” / “25 Years of German Reunification” while the other side marks the “Tag des Mauerfalls” / “The Day the Wall Fell” in Berlin. The MRCE locomotive is used by TX Logistik.

In 1976 the German Federal Railroad placed the prototype (car number 51 80 89-80 600-5) of a new, comfortable generation of entertainment cars into service. These type WGmh 824 cars were planned to set new standards for the highest level of comfort in relation to adventure trips, rolling conferences, or excursion trips. At one end of the car was two compartments for train officials as well as a toilet, at the other end a galley with an adjoining bar. One of the two compartments for train officials served as a technology space with music equipment and control of the lighting installation. Approximately two thirds of the car was planned as entertainment space and could be used as a dining room, conference room, or dance area. Only one small seating corner was permanently installed at one end of this space. Otherwise, the interior could be arranged to meet the requirements of the occasion. Themes from cities in Lower Saxony decorated the side walls of the entertainment space. The bulkhead walls by contrast had an intertwined pattern in different colors. The car ran on Minden-Deutz type 36 trucks and was rated for 160 km/h / 100 mph. Its underframe was built in the customary manner with a frame, cross members, and plates constructed of steel. Its car body was a welded design with side walls, end walls, and roof plates. However, cross bracing had to be installed to accommodate extreme variations in the load under certain circumstances (such as during dance events) in the entertainment area. Right from the time it was placed into service, the entertainment car ran in the DB standard paint scheme of ocean blue / ivory that was current at that time.

The figures included with this car may have to be altered in size due to technical circumstances. This model can be found in a AC version in the Marklin H0 assortment under item no. 43868.
