Märklin Catalog Car for 1937

Through the history of Märklin catalog titles.

The painting that decorates this car shows a beautiful winter motif at a tunnel entrance or exit on an electrified two-track main line. A green class E04 loco hauling an express train of the same color is exiting the tunnel just as another express train has disappeared into the tunnel, and the viewer can just make out the end-of-train discs at the top of the last car. The fir trees on the left and right, as well as the catenary mast on the left, are covered in thick snow… The signs of a harsh winter.
