My Marklin Locomotives

First video of my 34112 Marklin Wurttemberg C at speed

Some Locomotives that I own, Marklin 39024 (Baden IVH, DRG 18.3)

Developed by the Grand Duchy Baden Railways in 1915, the locomotive was developed to haul express trains on the Rhine Valley Line between Frankfurt and Basel. By 1920 when the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG) was formed, the DRG took the Baden IVH as the 18.3 and in the 1920s the 18.3 also hauled the luxurious Rheingold train but by the end of the 1920s the 18.3 was displaced by the BR01 on the Rheingold service.

Difference between Marklin (K and C) track and other manufacturers track

Marklin produces at least two type of tracks,there is the C-Track and K-Track

About the C-Track

The C-Track made its appearance in the early 1990s, the track was designed to replace the M-Track which was getting obsolete, nowadays this track would be included in the standard starter sets and digital sets. This track is also designed to be used on the carpet as well. This track is also popular with people who

The Marklin K-Track

The K-Track appeared around the 1970s and it is the standard track that has been used on layouts.

Basically the K-Track is used mainly on layouts, the biggest K-Track layout in existence is located at Miniatur Wonderland in Hamburg

Difference between Marklin and other manufacturer tracks

The difference between Marklin's tracks and other manufacturers like Walthers, Hornby, Kato, Tomix and etc is how the power is supplied in order to run the train, Marklin's tracks have a center pick up and the locomotive is fitted with a pickup-shoe but the locomotives from Walthers, Hornby, Kato, Tomix and etc are not and the power is supplied via the wheels hence where the word DC (Direct Current) comes from
