Märklin Electric locomotive BR 103

Electric locomotive 103 113-7 of the DB Museum in the current state of Epoch VI. Lokaufbau in metal-filled plastic. Fine and intricate colouring and labelling. Equipped with bell anchor motor, warm white LED tip lighting changing with the direction of travel. Engine room skylights with window inserts and engine room lighting. Both bogies powered. Invisible switch for working overhead line operation. Length over buffers 88 mm. Parade horse in a tee dress: they were once the absolute parade horses of the German Federal Railway. Elegant, elegant, dynamic, fast and equipped with groundbreaking technology. We are talking about the legendary 103 series. Even the prototypes provided bright excitement as soon as they moved almost majestically over the tracks. They had their first flowering period before the tea trains, the 1st class, dignified plush and high-quality catering in the dining car. Later, in the times of the EuroCity and InterCity trains, they were mostly at a peak speed of 200 km/h, ubiquitous. No wonder considering a total of 149 built copies that were not hidden from any train traveller. Many machines have then disappeared singing and soundlessly. However, some have remained reserved to remember the once glorious series to this day. This includes the 103 113. She was also already retired, but then came back to the plan service. And even twice. Since 2017, she is now retired and only from time to time with special trains, so she was also a guest in Göppingen in 2019. It stands out visually, because its frame is not painted black grey, but purple red, which is worthy of the beige colour. And finally, even more beautiful: the 103 113, which is part of the DB Museum Nuremberg, branch office Koblenz-Lützel, will continue to provide inspiring glances. Because in autumn 2020, she received an examination and fresh varnish. Even the buffer trim has been reattached Safety Warning For adults only.
