Märklin 38201 Steam locomotive 18 201, GDR, ep VI

Model: Express train steam locomotive 18 201 with oil main firing system and additional tender. 
Former locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR (DR/DDR), which was built as a test 
locomotive for the VES-M Halle (Saale) from parts of 61 002 and H45 024. Operating condition around 
2017, when it was used before special trains.

Model: With mfx+ digital decoder and extensive light and sound functions. Controlled high-
performance drive with flywheel mass in the boiler. 3 axles driven. Traction tires. Locomotive and 
tender largely made of metal. Built-in smoke insert as standard with speed-dependent, dynamic smoke 
output, digitally switchable. Three-light headlight signal, which changes depending on the direction 
of travel conventionally in operation, can be switched digitally. In addition, two red lights can be 
switched digitally at the front of the locomotive. Cab and chassis lighting as well as combustion 
chamber flicker can be controlled separately digitally. Lighting with maintenance-free warm white 
and red LEDs (LEDs). Adjustable short coupling with kinematics between locomotive and tender. On the 
tender, kinematic, live short coupling with NEM axle for switching the main lighting on the 
auxiliary tender. Buffer height on locomotive and tender according to NEM. Additional tender 
equipped on both sides with separable, live short couplings. A toggle switch in the tender base can 
be used to select the side of the headlights. This can be controlled digitally via the locomotive 
decoder. Minimum driving radius 360 mm. For large radii or displays, a cover without wheel cutout 
under the cab is included for replacement. Piston rod protection tube, heating and brake hoses are 
also included. Total length over buffer approx. 40.8 cm.
