The Märklin 37407 H0 class 140 800-4 electric locomotive is a detailed model that perfectly captures the elegance and technology of the legendary class 140 of the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era IV. This electric locomotive has been equipped with the highest precision and the latest technology to offer model train enthusiasts an exceptional driving experience. The harmonious combination of nostalgic charm and advanced functions makes this model a must-have for every H0 layout.
The class 140, also known as the "E40", was part of the standard locomotive program of the German Federal Railroad in the 1950s. It was developed for freight transport and was also used in passenger train services due to its robustness and versatility. With an output of 3,700 kW and a maximum speed of 110 km/h, the class 140 easily handled both heavy freight trains and express trains. The prototype of the Märklin 37407, the locomotive with the road number 140 800-4, reflects the operating condition as of 1986 and is presented in the characteristic ocean blue/ivory paint scheme.
Märklin is an institution in the world of model railroads. For over 160 years, the brand has stood for the highest precision, innovative technology and excellent workmanship. With the 37407 model, Märklin once again demonstrates why it is one of the world's leading manufacturers of model trains. The focus is always on attention to detail and the integration of the latest technologies that inspire demanding model railroaders.
The Märklin 37407 is equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions that provide a realistic and fascinating driving experience. The controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a centrally installed flywheel drives all four axles via cardan shafts, while traction tires provide excellent tractive effort. The LED lighting guarantees maintenance-free and energy-saving use and offers a light change between white headlights and red tail lights depending on the direction of travel. The cab and engine room lighting as well as the double A light can be controlled separately digitally.
Era IV (1965-1990) is one of the most exciting periods in the history of the German railroad. During this time, the Deutsche Bundesbahn increasingly relied on electric traction and modernized its vehicle fleet. The ocean blue and ivory paint scheme of the class 140 symbolized this modernization and was a typical design feature of the era. The Märklin 37407 model faithfully reflects this time and brings the fascination of this era to life on every model railroad layout.
The color scheme in ocean blue/ivory gives the locomotive an unmistakable appearance. This paint scheme, which was seen on many locomotives of the German Federal Railroad from the mid-1970s, stands for elegance and functionality at the same time. The detailed roof superstructures and the newly designed pantographs of the DBS 54 type also contribute to the authentic appearance of the model. Grab rails, steps and other attached parts round off the design and underline the high-quality workmanship.
The Märklin 37407 H0 class 140 800-4 electric locomotive is an indispensable model for collectors and model railroad fans. It combines historical authenticity with the latest technology and offers an incomparable driving experience. Thanks to the digital control options and the extensive functions, this model is not only a visual but also a technical highlight on every H0 model railroad layout.
