The Baureihe 50 was part of Deutsch Reichsbahn's "Einheitslok" (standard locomotive) program. Along with others in the program, it used standard interchangeable components. This provided a huge advantage as the locomotives could be serviced at any locomotive works instead of having to be taken where it was built. It was a hugely successful engine - more than 3000 were built, and they could be seen all around Germany hauling mostly goods trains but also some passenger trains.

The model is 26.4 cm long and constructed almost entirely of metal. Only the tender body is plastic. It has an MFX decoder with sound effects, telex coupler on the rear and a smoke generator.

Designed in the fifties along with the E 10, E 40 and E 50, the Baureihe E 41 was parts of Deutsche Bundesbahns "Einheits-elektrolokomotive" (standard electric locomotive) program. While initially aiming for just two locomotive types - a heavy freight and a general purpose one - it quickly became apparent that this was not sufficient and the program was expanded to four types. While designed primarily as a light passenger train locomotive, the E 41 also saw some use in express trains in its early years, until the maximum speed limit was raised to 140 km/h in the early sixties. Over the years it developed a reputation as a reliable machine, and the last units stayed in active service until 2006.

The model is 18.0 cm long and constructed entirely of metal. It has an MFX decoder with sound effects. It is listed in the Märklin catalog under the code 39140.
