Source: www.maerklin.de An optimistic mood dominated in the Golden Twenties. After the inflation the economy was booming, everything was going up. This was associated with a constantly growing hunger for energy, which was filled at that time almost exclusively with domestic coal. The railroad was responsible for fast and affordable transport. This was reaching its limits at that time. The required quantities could soon no longer be transported affordably with the traditional gondolas, which were time-consuming and expensive to load and unload. The German State Railroad therefore developed the type OOt Oldenburg dump car at the beginning of the Twenties. This car type could be loaded in a train consist and unloaded automatically chiefly at power plants. With its pioneering technology and a capacity of 75 cubic meters cubic feet these cars turned out so well that this basic design is still considered as a standard in bulk freight service. The new Märklin models remind people of the time when unit coal trains in particular symbolized the breakthrough to a new railroad age. These trains can be powered on a layout with the ultramodern electric locomotives of that time as well as heavy steam freight locomotives whose prototypes dated back in part to the age of the provincial railroads. | |
