39021 - Dgtl Baden Express Locomotive (EX)

Prototype: Grand Ducal Baden State Railways class IV h steam locomotive, 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. Built starting in 1918. Use: Premium passenger service.

Model: The locomotive has controlled, compact design, high-efficiency Softdrive Sine propulsion with an mfx digital decoder and a sound generator. 3 axles powered. 2 traction tires. The tender is constructed of metal. There is a close coupling between the locomotive and tender that can be adjusted for the radius of your curved track. A 72270 smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The LED double headlights change over with the direction of travel. They and the smoke generator that can be installed in the locomotive will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally.

Orient Express – Orient and Occident Deluxe. The linking of the West with the Ottoman Empire by rail was an ambitious project of the countries and railroads participating in it. Probably the best known connection that still appears in train routings is the Orient Express. The history of this famous train began on June 5, 1883 at the Gare de l’Est in Paris. The "Compagnie Internationale des Wagon-Lits" (CIWL) or "International Sleeping Car Company" sent its luxurious overnight train east for the first time. The rail connection went initially as far as Rumania, and passengers had to go the rest of the way to Istanbul by ship. In 1888 it was then complete: Istanbul was connected by ties and rails to the West. This fast connection between the Orient and the Occident was not only keenly embraced by business travelers, the elegant clientele from the ranks of the high nobility and financial potentates also took great delight in the almost unlimited comfort, in the exquisite catering, as well as the exciting entertainment in the dining car during the long trip. The rolling stock consisted of first class baggage, sleeping, and dining cars that were at the highest technical standard for that time. The paintwork for the cars was in an elegant brown or beige/brown, and the golden coat-of-arms with the two CIWL lions had to be on every car. This train soon became a symbol of luxury and the guests on board considered it an honor to travel on this train. The participating state railroads also considered it an honor to have the train in their rails and provided motive power for the train that was the most beautiful, most powerful locomotives they had under steam. In the German Empire this was primarily a Bavarian S 3/6 and the Baden IV h, both of them extremely elegant units and motive power worthy of the Orient Express. The First World War interrupted the connection between Paris and Istanbul for several years and after the end of the war the Orient Express was used as a purely military train. But, it was then made accessible to the public again. However, the train's run ended in Bucharest; hardly anything had changed however in the comfort of the prewar years. The CIWL was able to offer the Orient Express as a pure luxury train until 1940, when the events of World War II brought the train to an abrupt halt. The political separation of Europe into a West and an East block and the lean reconstruction years caused great limitations in the service offered as well as in the train's routing. For a while the train ended in Vienna, Budapest, or Bucharest, and the Orient Express was run as a normal express train with all classes of cars. The name Orient Express can still be found today in international train connections; it even runs on part of its traditional route. But, only the name remains of the former luxury of the overnight trains of the "Compagnie Internationale des Wagon-Lits" (CIWL), often envisioned in movies and books, and contributing to the preservation of the mystique of the Orient Express.
 

This is the ideal car set to go with the Baden IV h express locomotive with a tender, item no. 39021. A prototypical reproduction of the famous "Orient Express" as it ran between Paris and Istanbul is possible with the two express train passenger car sets, item nos. 42755 and 42760.

More Coal at the Locomotive Maintenance Facility. At the height of the steam locomotive era there were large, central locomotive maintenance facilities, where the locomotives were handled as if on an assembly line. At the end of the steam locomotive era the maintenance activities were concentrated into a few locomotive maintenance facilities that were even expanded for the purpose. Fast handling was achieved with several cradle bunkers arranged on parallel tracks one behind the other. Powerful clamshell cranes and appropriate switching of freight cars on the coaling track were a requirement for smooth operation. One reservoir was enough for about two to three loads of coal for tenders on road engines. As an example, the two locomotives for "Long Henry" were ready in several minutes for a run.

The 76510 large coaling station is expanded to 8 cradle bunker reservoirs with the 76511 expansion. The crane track can be lengthened further with the 324072 base plate, which is available separately.
