Märklin 37087 H0 Steam locomotive BR 86.0-8 of German Railways

The bread and butter locomotive in Saxony
It was the time of the Golden Twenties when the 1920 newly founded German State Railways began to make a big leap forward, particularly in vehicle technology. The new 86 series was particularly successful, with a 70-ton-heavy and 1000-hp design with four drive axles and one forward and one trailing axle each. With a maximum speed of 70 or 80 km/h and a high traction force, they could also be used in passenger and local goods trains on main railways. Until 1943, 774 copies of the series 86 were delivered to the Federal Railways. After the end of the war, the GDR had 164 ready-to-use locomotives from the 86 series, which were mainly at home in Saxony. They were able to demonstrate their abilities impressively on the sometimes difficult stretches in the local middle mountains. Even express and express trains were covered with the fast and strong tender locomotives. This was also the case with the East Saxon Railway Works Zittau, where, for example, the E 681 Berlin – Zittau was in the circulation plan of the series 86. From 1968 on, 16 eighty-six had replaced the old Baden tender locomotives with Bw Zittau. One of the star locomotives in Zittau was 86 1360-6, which was literally shone by its perfect condition. The fact that the Zittauer 86 was great for railway modelers, and were traveling with old country-train sets and, at the time, state-of-the-art rekowagons. The time of the 86 ran in Zittau in 1976. Its successor was the modern V 100 series diesel locomotives and 52/52.80 series war locomotives.
