Description
Diesel Locomotive. The real locomotive modeled by the 39301 was the Krauss-Maffei ML 3000 C’C’, a German-built heavy diesel locomotive developed in the 1950s. It was designed as a 3000 hp diesel-hydraulic locomotive, intended for export and heavy freight service. Märklin modeled it in the striking red/light gray Krauss-Maffei factory livery, representing the demonstrator locomotive rather than a regular Deutsche Bundesbahn unit. Märklin release history 39300 was the earlier version of the ML 3000 C’C’. 39301 followed as an updated release with mfx digital decoder and sound, with improved motorization and sound functions. Dealer discussions in 2008 show Märklin announced the 39301 as a re-motored variant of the 39300, not as a blue version as some rumors suggested.
