26195  --  Passenger Train with an E 69 and Compartment Cars (EX)

To Oberammergau with the E 69
Road number E 69 02 harkens back to the early years of electric motive power. This unit gave service as the oldest electric locomotive on the German Federal Railroad from 1954 to its being retired in 1981. It is closely linked with its original route, the branch line Murnau – Oberammergau, until 1938 owned by the Local Railroad, Inc. of Munich (LAG) and known as a route to bring people to the famous Oberammergau Passion Play that takes place every ten years. Road number E 69 02 was placed into service on May 19, 1909 as LAG 2 "Pauline" and had its first big test to prove itself in the following year during the Passion Play performances. After just a few years doing a "guest performance" in Heidelberg, it was back on its original route until 1981 performing reliably and can now be found in the Nürnberg Transportation Museum.

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) E 69 electric locomotive and three Prussian design compartment cars, 1 each type B3, 1 each type C3 with a brakeman's cab, and 1 each type C3tr. "Bottle Green" paint scheme. Locomotive road number 69 02. The train looks as it did in 1952.

Model: The E 69 has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. 2 axles powered. Traction tires. The triple headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free LEDs are used for the lighting. The locomotive has a current-conducting coupler that can be turned on/off digitally. It also has separately applied metal grab irons. The compartment cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting. They also have current-conducting couplers that can be uncoupled. The type C3tr car has built-in marker lights. Total length over the buffers approximately 51 cm / 20"
 

Highlights:

In the „metronom“ through Northern Germany
The "metronom" bi-level trains on the route Hamburg – Bremen and Hamburg – Uelzen have offered a topnotch hourly schedule in fast regional passenger service since December of 2003, and since December of 2005 further on from Uelzen via Hannover to Göttingen. All of the trains feature pleasant air conditioning and run extra quietly. They have comfortable seats with enough legroom, quiet areas, snack and drink automats in every train, generously dimensioned bicycle and wheelchair cars, as well as clean, comfortable restrooms. These trains are pulled by 160 km/h / 100 mph fast class 146.5 TRAXX electric locomotives and with their blue-yellow-white paint scheme offer a pleasant change from the red monotony of the DB AG.

Prototype: „metronom“ bi-level commuter train consisting of a class 146.2 electric locomotive, 3 bi-level intermediate cars, and 1 bi-level cab control car. The locomotive and cars are in the current paint scheme for metronom Railroad Company, LLC, Uelzen, Germany. The train looks as it currently does in real life.

The headlights at Locomotive Ends 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital operation. The locomotive has the "double A" light function. All of the bi-level cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting. When the locomotive is pushing the train (cab control car at the front), white triple headlights light up on the cab control car. When the locomotive is pulling the train (locomotive at the front), dual red marker lights light up on the cab control car. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. All of the cars have current-conducting close couplers that can be uncoupled. The cab control car has a detailed buffer beam and separately applied streamlining. Total length over the buffers 130 cm / 51-3/16".

87459  --  DB "Heckeneilzug" / "Backwoods Limited Stop" Train Set (EX)

In a Limited Stop Train on the Branch Line
Once there was a quite different, contemplative travel experience without constant worries about failed connections, with working restrooms, and with windows that could be opened. We're talking about the "Heckeneilzügen" / "Backwoods Limited Stop Passenger Trains" that enabled connections free of transfers for many years via branch lines between regions not on the main lines and the large metropolitan areas. On the branch lines, they stood out with comparatively comfortable cars as exotic bright spots among the usual rail busses and rebuild cars. These trains formed the backbone of passenger service in the country in the northern part of Germany into the Eighties and occasionally they even warranted through cars.

Prototype: So-called DB "Heckeneilzug" / "Backwoods Limited Stop Passenger Train as it looked in Era IV, consisting of a type Byg 514 rebuild car, 2nd class, in chrome oxide green, a type Bnb 719 commuter car, 2nd class, silver / ocean blue, and a type Bym 421 center entry car, 2nd class, in ocean blue / ivory.

Treasured Exotic Locomotives
Remarkable form, unusual task: the E 60 – one of the few electric switch engines in German railroad history. Placed into service in 1927, they quickly acquired the nickname "Flat Iron" due to their long and short hoods. They acquired their unique look – small electric DR lanterns – in their characteristic shape in the small series down to road number E60 13. Ideal for 1 Gauge fans who love prototypical switching and station operations. Or, for small layouts. Any way you look at it, a real attention getter.

It can be operated with AC power, DC power, Märklin Digital, or DCC. All of the driving axles are powered by means of a powerful centrally mounted motor. The type SBS 10 double-arm pantograph with a single contact strip can be raised and lowered in digital operation by means of a servomotor. The white dual headlights are LEDs. They will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. An upper marker light also comes on depending on the direction of travel. The cab has warm white LED lighting. The cab doors can be opened, there are interior details, and the cab has a figure of an engineer. The locomotive has metal grab irons and many other separately applied details: signs, antenna, windshield wipers, whistle, etc. The buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake lines. The locomotive has built-in, completely newly developed remote-controlled Telex couplers front and rear. The locomotive has factory-installed claw couplers that can be replaced by 2 prototype couplers included with the model. The locomotive has a high level of weight for good pulling power without traction tires. It also has extensive sound functions. Minimum radius for operation 1,020 mm / 40-3/16". Length over the buffers 35 cm / 13-3/4".
