The DRG Class 80 (commonly known as the "Märklin Engine") was a German tank engine often seen shunting rolling stock in the background.
Technical Details
Basis
The Märklin Engine is based on a DRG Class 80. These tank engines were designed as standard classes for Germany and a total of 39 were built between 1927 and 1928. All members of the class were withdrawn by 1977, though seven of these engines have since been preserved.
While no members of the class were ever used in the United Kingdom in service, one (80 014) briefly resided at the Nene Valley Railway in preservation. It has since returned to Germany, and is currently stationed at the South German Railway Museum in Heilbronn.
Livery
The Märklin Engine is painted in Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) standard black with red wheels, bufferbeams and frames. It has the DB logo on its cab sides and its number painted in white on plates mounted either side of its cab and on the front of its smokebox.
