Description

Märklin 37814 H0 Class 051 Steam Locomotive: Legendary Era IV Freight Locomotive

The Märklin 37814 H0 class 051 steam locomotive is a precise and detailed reproduction of the German Federal Railroad (DB) class 051 freight steam locomotive with a cab tender. This locomotive from Era IV impresses with its technical design, high-quality workmanship and numerous functions. With its mfx+ decoder and extensive sound and lighting options, it is a highlight on any model railroad layout.

The prototype: German Federal Railroad class 051

The class 051 was a further development of the legendary class 50 and was used as a universal freight locomotive. It was equipped with a cabin tender, which provided additional comfort for the staff. With Witte wind deflectors, a shortened car body and modern DB reflective glass lamps, this locomotive represents the operating condition of the early 1970s when it was used on the branch and main lines of the German Federal Railroad.

Märklin - Quality and Functionality

The model impresses with its detailed design, which is largely made of metal. The open bar frame and many attached details such as piston rod protection tubes and brake hoses make the locomotive a visual highlight. The sturdy construction and modern technology ensure long-lasting enjoyment in operation.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 37814

The locomotive is equipped with controlled high-efficiency propulsion that drives five axles. A flywheel mass in the boiler ensures smooth running characteristics, while traction tires provide optimum tractive effort. The triple headlights and the cab lighting can be controlled digitally and a smoke unit (item 7226) can be retrofitted. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free warm white LEDs.

Flexibility and expansion options

The locomotive is designed for operation on layouts with a minimum radius of 360 mm. The close coupling with kinematics between the locomotive and tender as well as the kinematics-guided couplings on the locomotive and tender allow flexible train composition. Freight cars to go with this locomotive are available in the Märklin H0 assortment so that realistic freight trains can be created. This model is available as a Trix version for DC railroaders under item number 25830.
