Year built / Release year: 2021
Brand: Märklin
Scale: H0 (1:87)
Railway company: Deutsche Reichsbahn der DDR (DR) – Epoch IV
Power supply: AC (3-rail Märklin)

Märklin 39027 in H0 scale: the high-speed steam locomotive 02 0314-1 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the DDR, equipped with oil firing and oil tender, in dark green with white decorative lines and red running gear.

Background: this machine is a completely unique specimen. It started its life as 18 314, a Badische IV h by Maffei, and in that guise hauled the luxury train Rheingold. Later it was rebuilt by the DR into a test locomotive for the VES-M Halle (Saale), with a REKO boiler, partial cladding, white wheel rims, and single Indusi. In 1967 it was converted to oil firing. At the end of 1971 it was withdrawn after a cylinder failure and in 1984 sold to the Federal Republic of Germany. Since 1986 it has been on permanent loan to HEF at the Auto- und Technikmuseum in Sinsheim. Under its nickname “Schorsch,” it is well known among DDR equipment enthusiasts.

Märklin released this model as an Surprise Model — a novelty announced outside the regular new items program.

Specification:

– Entirely new construction; locomotive and tender mostly metal
– mfx+ and DCC decoder with extensive sound functions
– Controlled high-power drive with flywheel in the boiler, three driven axles, with anti-slip tires
– Factory-installed smoke generator with wheel-synchronous, dynamic smoke emission
– Front light with period-appropriate color temperature and warm-white LEDs
– Especially fine depiction of the partial cladding, the white wheel rims, and the rodwork

Delivered in the original Märklin packaging. Condition: the locomotive is in excellent, barely used condition. The paint, the white decorative lines and lettering are intact and sharp, the red running gear is undamaged, the wheel rims are straight and the fine piping on the boiler is complete. The original manual and all included accessories are present.

Model has been tested and is operational. If there are any issues, please report them on receipt.
