Description

Märklin 38205 H0 Steam Locomotive 01 504: The DR Reko Locomotive in Era III

The Märklin 38205 H0 steam locomotive 01 504 is a detailed reproduction of the class 01.5 express steam locomotive of the German State Railroad of the GDR (DR). This Era III recreation locomotive will impress you with its attractive dark green paint scheme, white decorative stripes and numerous intricate details. With modern digital technology and high-quality metal workmanship, this model is a highlight for any H0 model railroad layout.

The prototype: The class 01.5 express steam locomotive

The class 01.5 is a reconstructed version of the original class 01, which was designed for heavy express train service in the GDR. The locomotive 01 504 shows the special design with Witte wind deflectors, continuous dome cladding and lateral cladding of the circulation plates. The Boxpok wheels and the dark green paintwork with white decorative stripes give the locomotive a particularly elegant appearance. This locomotive was a symbol of the DR's efficiency and progress in the 1960s.

Märklin - Precision and Innovation

Märklin developed this model with the greatest care in order to exactly reproduce the characteristic features of the class 01.5. The openwork ingot frame, the intricately applied details and the continuous dome covering show the high level of craftsmanship. With the mfx+ decoder, the model offers extensive light and sound functions that make the driving experience even more realistic.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 38205

The locomotive is equipped with controlled high-efficiency propulsion that is located in the boiler and drives three axles. Traction tires provide optimum tractive effort, and maintenance-free warm white LEDs provide the lighting. The triple headlights change over with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. The smoke set (item 7226) can be retrofitted to simulate steam operation. The cab lighting can also be controlled digitally.

Flexibility and expansion options

The locomotive has close couplers with kinematics between the locomotive and tender as well as an NEM shaft on the tender. With a length over buffers of 28.2 cm, the model is suitable for H0 layouts with a minimum radius of 360 mm. Included piston rod protection tubes and brake hoses increase the level of detail and customizability.

Recommendation for model railroaders

The Märklin 38205 H0 steam locomotive 01 504 is a must-have for lovers of steam locomotives and historic railroad technology. With its elegant design, modern functions and precise workmanship, this locomotive is a jewel for any model railroad layout.
