The express train locomotive with item number 38201 announced by Märklin as a surprise model in the H0 2023 scale has been delivered.
I show here the unboxing, a ride through the layout and various special functions of the really well done model. The smoke generator is particularly nice when starting off and at low speed. (see also the ride through the layout)
The express locomotive 18 201 was built in 1960/61 in the Meinigen repair works of the Reichsbahn from parts of the 61 002, the former Henschel-Wegmann locomotive and the H45 024, a DR class 41 locomotive. The 44 468 trailing tender was also added.
The locomotive was needed in the GDR as an express locomotive to carry out test runs with the passenger coaches intended for export.
The frame of the 61 002 was therefore an obvious choice. This had driving wheels with a diameter of 2,300 mm. The locomotive was designed as a 3-cylinder engine.
The locomotive was fitted with an additional tender in order to be able to make long-distance journeys.
The 18 201 is currently the fastest operational steam locomotive in the world. It achieved a record speed of 182.4 km/h on 29 June 1967.
The model was equipped by Märklin with a smoke insert with speed-dependent, dynamic smoke emission.
