Class 042 Steam Locomotive

Model: The locomotive has a digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled, high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, mounted in the boiler. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and tender are constructed mostly of metal. The 7226 smoke unit can be installed in the locomotive. Triple headlights change over with the direction of travel. They and the smoke unit that can be installed in the locomotive will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white LEDs are used for the lighting. The close coupling with a guide mechanism between the locomotive and tender can be adjusted for different curves. There is a close coupler with a guide mechanism and an NEM pocket on the back of the tender and the front of the locomotive. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Piston rod protection sleeves, brake hoses, and prototype coupler imitations are included. Length over the buffers 27.5 cm / 10-13/16".

Prototype: Class 042 freight steam locomotive with oil main firing and a type 2´2´T 34 standard design oil tender. Converted version with a new construction high-power boiler. German Federal Railroad (DB). Black/red basic paint scheme. Witte smoke deflectors, DB Reflex glass lamps, and inductive magnets on both sides. Locomotive road number 042 206-3. The locomotive looks as it did around 1970.

Class 41The locomotive industry developed the 2-8-2 class 41 locomotive for fast freight trains as part of the DRG's standard design locomotive program. The two sample units were delivered by Schwartzkopff in 1936. The running gear was a new development,

After World War II, 216 locomotives remained on the DB. The worn-out St47K boilers on the units soon presented a problem. Since the class 41 was indispensable, the DB developed a completely welded high-performance boiler with a combustion chamber as a replacement. Compared to the previous long tube boiler, this new one had a higher percentage of high-quality radiative heating surfaces and could sustain a higher load. Between 1957 and 1961 the repair facility (AW) at Braunschweig installed this new boiler in 102 class 41 locomotives, which in conjunction with the removal of the front skirting clearly altered the look of the class 41 units. Forty of these converted locomotives also benefitted from oil main firing. The last oil-fired converted units were removed from service in 1977.

Freight cars to go with this locomotive can be found in the current Märklin H0 assortment along with information but the required exchange wheelsets.

This model can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 37931.

In 1936, the Schwartzkopff Berlin Machinery Construction Company, Inc. delivered the first class 41 fast freight locomotives. These units turned out to be general-purpose locomotives for medium weight trains. Between 1936 and 1941, a total of 366 locomoti
