Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class E 03 express locomotive. Pre-production version in the crimson red / beige TEE paint scheme with double-arm pantographs and a single row of side vents.
 
Model: The locomotive's frame and the side frames on the trucks are constructed of metal. The body is prototypically divided into parts and is constructed chiefly of metal. The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder, controlled high-efficiency propulsion, and extensive sound functions. The locomotive can be operated with AC power, DC power, Märklin Digital, and DCC. The locomotive has a powerful motor, centrally mounted. All of the axles in both trucks are powered through cardan shafts. The white headlights and red marker lights are LED's; they will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The locomotive has white LED's to light up the engineer's cab at the front of the locomotive (depending on the direction of travel) and the engine room. The engineer's cab doors can be opened, the locomotive has interior details, and there is a figure of an engineer in cab 1. The grab irons are metal and there are many other separately applied details: DB signs, windshield wipers, antenna, whistle, headlight bezels, and much more. The double-arm pantographs can be raised and lowered with motors in digital operation. The buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake lines. The Märklin couplers can be replaced by closed end skirting and prototype couplers. Minimum radius for operation 1,020 mm / 40-3/16".
