Märklin 39533 H0 Class 52 Steam Locomotive: Austrian Legend of Era III

The Märklin 39533 H0 class 52 steam locomotive is an impressive reproduction of the heavy freight steam locomotive of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). With its road number 52 3810, Witte wind deflectors, and tub tender, it embodies the operating condition in the mid-1950s. This model impresses with its technical sophistication and delicate metal construction, making it a highlight on any H0 layout.

The prototype: ÖBB class 52

The class 52 was developed during the Second World War as a robust and simplified freight locomotive. After the war, it was taken over by the Austrian Federal Railways and adapted for use in heavy freight traffic. With the distinctive tub tender and the Witte wind deflectors, it remained a characteristic element of Austrian rail traffic well into the 1950s.

Märklin - true to detail and innovative technology

The model is characterized by a detailed metal construction that offers an almost unobstructed view between the boiler and the running gear. The mfx+ decoder makes numerous operating and sound functions possible, while the controlled high-performance propulsion ensures powerful performance. Digitally switchable light functions, including cab lighting, and preparation for a smoke unit increase the authenticity.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 39533

The locomotive has a high-efficiency drive with a flywheel that drives five axles. Traction tires provide optimum traction. The dual headlights change over with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white LEDs are used for the lighting. Close-coupling kinematics between the locomotive and tender as well as kinematics-guided couplings at the front and rear ensure realistic train formations.

Flexibility and expansion options

The model is equipped with a buffer height according to NEM and flat couplers. Separately attachable parts such as piston rod protection tubes, brake hoses and imitation screw couplings offer additional customization options. With a length over buffers of 26.4 cm and a minimum passable radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is ideal for H0 layouts. A freight car set to go with this locomotive is available under item number 46564 in the Märklin H0 assortment.
