Description
Spalter Bockl Train Set German Federal Railroad (DB) class 98.3 Glaskasten (Glass Box) (former Bavarian PtL 2/2) with a jackshaft and triple headlights and three Bavarian style local railroad cars. One baggage and mail car and two passenger cars, 3rd class. The cars look as they did in Era III around 1957. The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has a miniature motor in the boiler. 2 axles powered. Traction tires. Triple headlights change with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. A buffer capacitor is included. The operating, current-conducting coupler can be controlled digitally. The inner boiler is constructed of metal. The body is constructed of metal-impregnated plastic for improved pulling power. There are numerous separately applied handrails and grab irons. Boiler appliances and other details are intricately modelled. Both passenger cars and the mail car have factory-installed LED interior lighting with buffer capacitors and operating, current-conducting couplers. Current is supplied to the cars using the locomotive. Source: www.maerklin.de It was once in use all over Bavaria: The Bockerlor in Franconian German called the Bockl, rustic local railroad trains that opened up the flat country with small steam locomotives and good old wooden class cars. In order to make the costly steam operations there as rational as possible, the thrifty Royal Bavarian State Railways developed a quite special locomotive class around 1900. It had a large cab with many windows and a half self-supporting pellet firing for single man operation. These locomotives designated as the Glaskasten or Glass Box locomotives. They turned in very good results and were soon found on many Bavarian branch lines. They were also found on the Spalter Bockl, a seven kilometer / a 4.37 mile line in the Franconian hops country stretching from Georgensgmünd Spalt. This Bockl native was like its engineer of many years Karl Ammon deeply rooted in the population. According to legends, Ammon is supposed to have even stood on the front balcony of his Glaskasten to convey manure to his fields along the railroad. The Märklin model railroaders will certainly not do this with the new detailed Bockl train. However, it illustrates perfectly a romantic episode in German railroad history, which came to an end irrevocably in 1962 with the retirement of the last Glaskasten, road number 98 307.
