Marklin 81001
Model:
All of the driving wheels on the locomotive are powered. The headlights change over with the direction of travel. The locomotive body and frame are constructed of metal. 2 pairs of Leig-Einheit boxcars make up the train. Both cars in each pair are permanently coupled together and have a diaphragm between them. Length over the buffers approximately 281 mm / 11-1/16. Important: Due to their design the Leig-Einheit cars cannot be run on the 145 mm / 5-3/4 radius curved track.

Highlights:

  • Leig-Einheit cars are partially new tooling.

The increase in freight traffic by road caused the German State Railroad Company to accelerate freight service and to make it more attractive. This was achieved by the introduction of lightweight freight trains for less-than-carload-lot service. These so-called Leig Units usually consisted of two 2-axle boxcars that were connected by a diaphragm. The advantage to this was the sorting of freight in route. The German Federal Railroad also needed these fast freight trains and even purchased new double cars authorized for a maximum speed of 100 km/h / 63 mph. These well known freight trains did not disappear from the German rail system until 1978.

News

To find our Store, just scan the image below with your mobile phone bar code reader or scan.

The web site is fully working and ready to place orders for all our products as well as for all the 2011 new items including Summer items.

Shipping Charges:

This web site is directly connected to FedEx and to the USPS to obtain the rates for shipping.

However, because it may be errors on the weight or size of the item in our database, the total seen at checkout time is just INFORMATIVE and may be adjusted to real freight charges paid to carriers.

Bulky parcels are hard to calculate here as depending on how we can arrange boxes inside the carton, may change the size so dimensional weight may be lower.

Some small items can be packed in a USPS Small Box. If this is the case, we will use Small Box from the USPS, insured and signature required if value is over $ 50.00. This will result in a substantial lower rate than seen in the checkout page.

We will always select the lower and best solution for your parcel.

We GUARANTEE the most accurate and low charges possible based on all the parameter for the parcel to be ship.

All shipments are sent "Signature Required" and "Insured"...

Navigation:

It is very easy to navigate our web site. The best way to use it is playing with the drop down windows on top of each page where you can select in detail not only the Manufacturer but the most detailed category we carry.

Use combinations of Manufacturers and Categories to go faster to what you like to see.

New items 2012 only can start from the left side of the pages under Model Trains, then you can select the Manufacturer.

Any change you do on the search will automatically start your search without the need to pulse "enter key"
