Märklin catalog wagon 1938
By the history of the Märklin catalog titles.
The painting adorning this car shows a parallel ride of two express trains, one could also interpret it as a "race". On the left track, the direction track runs a green E 18 and in the opposite track on the right side a BBÖ-express steam locomotive of the series 214, the largest steam locomotive series ever built in Austria, leads a stately fast train. The luggage car behind the working steam engine vehicle deserves also attention, which still has a pulpit in the middle of the wagon. In the background of the painting is a huge mountain range with snow-covered peaks. Interesting is the fact that the BBÖ series 214 (yet) never appeared as a model in the Märklin range, although - considering the large, pompous steam and electric locomotives Diverser countries that were built at the time at Märklin - it has all the attributes to be recognized with one model! The assumption is obvious that painter Josef Danilovatz, who was born in Vienna in 1877, made the picturesque appearance due to his origin of the largest steam locomotive series in his home country.
