Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 03.10 express steam locomotive. Non-streamlined rebuilt version with a new, high performance boiler, Witte smoke deflectors, DB Reflex glass lamps, and a rebuilt tender with coal bunker hatches, and stoker equipment. The pilot truck has spoked wheels.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion, with a bell-shaped armature and a flywheel, in the boiler. 3 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and the tender are constructed chiefly of metal. A 7226 smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The triple headlights change over with the direction of travel. They and the smoke generator, which can be installed in the locomotive, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The headlights are maintenance-free, warm white LEDs. There is a close coupling with a guide mechanism between the locomotive and tender. There is a close coupler with a guide mechanism and NEM coupler pocket on the tender. The hatches for the coal bunker can be opened and closed.

Complete with display plaque.

Minimum radius for operation 360 mm / 14-3/16". Piston rod protector sleeves are included.

Length over the buffers 27.5 cm / 10-13/16".

• Completely new tooling (since the 37915).
• Particularly finely detailed metal construction.
• High-efficiency propulsion with a bell-shaped armature, in the boiler.
• A wide variety of operation and sound functions that can be controlled digitally.

The 37916 express train steam locomotive was produced in 2012 in a one-time series only. The biannual Exclusiv (MHI) meeting took place last week in Germany. Marklin has commissioned a special commemorative locomotive and is offering it to Exclusiv dealers. The order period is very short, quantities are limited. Ajckids is an authorized Exclusiv dealer, and can order one for you, as long as supplies last.
 

Of the 45 units of the former class 03.10 streamlined locomotive, which were still in existence after 1945, 26 were on the roster of the German Federal Railroad. By the mid-1950s, the condition of the boilers on these units was so bad that the DB decided to undertake an extensive rebuilding program with new boilers. The appearance of the locomotives changed considerably in the process and resembled the class 01.10 units that had also been equipped with new boilers. However, the rebuilding of the class 03.10 was not so successful technically as with the class 01.10, so that the former soon ended up in fast passenger train service. All of them were stationed in Hagen and were retired by 1966.
