Comment: The high-speed traffic with the newly constructed routes rich in tunnels makes a heavy demand on the railroad's safety concepts. The tunnel rescue trains are an essential part of these concepts. These trains are designed to cope with the extraordinary situation of a burning train inside a tunnel. These trains have other tasks in addition to the actual transport of the rescue crews to the accident site and in addition to fighting the fire with the fire extinguishing equipment carried on the rescue train. The presence of smoke and the lack of oxygen in the tunnel mean that the airtight cars in the rescue train must have an independent source of power and air. Locomotive No. 1 is even equipped with a video camera and a thermal image camera. A passenger air lock with protection against smoke enables the evacuation of injured passengers. They are brought into the transport car after they have been attended to medically in the first aid car. If this car is full, the shuttle part of the train, Locomotive 2 and Transport Car 2, uncouple from the rest of the train, the main part of the latter, and proceed to the tunnel portal. The shuttle part then goes back to the main part of the train and couples to it, so that the connections are airtight. Trains of this type are stationed in Kornwestheim, Mannheim, Würzburg, Fulda, Kassel, and Hildesheim to ensure coverage of the newly constructed routes. Each rescue train is ready to go around the clock, as long as passenger trains are underway on the newly constructed routes. All of the equipment on these trains is kept at operating temperature for this purpose; working temperatures are maintained in the Transport and First Aid car, and the fire extinguishing materials are protected against frost.

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 38.10-40 steam locomotive with a tender. Former Prussian P8. Boiler with 2 domes and Wagner smoke deflectors. Four-axle box-style tender. 2 type Gllmghs 37 Leig Unit pairs of cars. Version from around 1956.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder, controlled high-efficiency propulsion, and a sound effects generator. The powerful motor has a bell-shaped armature and is built into the boiler. 3 axles powered. Traction tires. A 72270 smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The headlights are maintenance-free, warm white LED's. The headlights and the smoke generator contact will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The steam locomotive operating sounds and the sound of the whistle as well as the acceleration and braking delay can be controlled with a 6021 Control Unit or Märklin Systems. Other operating sounds can be controlled with Märklin Systems. There is a close coupling between the locomotive and tender. The locomotive has a detailed engineer's cab. Brake hoses, prototypical couplers and protective cylinder rod sleeves can be installed on the locomotive. The train includes 2 pairs of "Leig Unit" freight cars. Both cars are permanently coupled together and are connected by a diaphragm. The cars are well detailed and with large lettering for "Stückgut Schnellverkehr / Less-than-Carload-Lot Service". Total length over the buffers 75.0 cm / 29-1/2".

Highlights:
  • Can motor with a bell-shaped armature, in the boiler.
  • Detailed steam locomotive sound.
  • "Leig Unit" pair of cars as new tooling.
Comment: The increase in freight traffic by road caused the German State Railroad Company to accelerate freight service and to make it more attractive. This was achieved by the introduction of "lightweight freight trains" for less-than-carload-lot service. "Leig Units" usually consisted of two 2-axle boxcars that were connected by a diaphragm. The advantage to this was the sorting of freight in route. The German Federal Railroad could not do without these fast freight trains and even purchased new double cars authorized for a maximum speed of 100 km/h / 63 mph. These well known freight trains with their striking lettering "Stückgut-Schnellverkehr" did not disappear until 1978.

Comment: Class 24 - Prairie Pony in Prussia. Between 1926 and 1938, a total of 95 units of the class 24 were purchased for the flat, long branch lines in East and West Prussia. These locomotives were nicknamed the "Prairie Pony" and were designed as a passenger locomotive, but were soon used as a general-purpose locomotive. This 16.96 meter / 55 foot 7-11/16 inch long locomotive reached a maximum speed of 90 km/h / 56 mph. It was a parallel class to the class 64 and gave very good results in the tasks assigned to it. The division of Germany and the areas surrendered to Poland resulted in 38 units finally coming to the German Federal Railroad, where they continued to perform valuable service on branch lines, often with "Donnerbüchsen / Thunder Box" passenger cars. Gradually, they were replaced in many locations by the class VT 95 and VT 98 red rail busses, were retired and scrapped. They last home base was Rheydt; there they left regular service in 1966 on the German Federal Railroad. In Poland the 34 locomotives left there after World War II were indispensable up to 1976. Four Prairie Ponies remain preserved as museum pieces; one of them is from the roster of the Polish State Railroad (PKB).
