Description: NEW 39491 MARKLIN DSB Danish Railways Class E Steam locomotive HO Scale, in mint new condition, with all original factory packaging and paperwork The most beautiful steam locomotive on the Danish State Railways (DSB) was the class (Litra) E. It originated among eleven Pacific express locomotives of the Swedish State Railways (SJ) class F, which disappeared from service in 1937 due to increasing electrification. The DSB was able to acquire these powerful locomotives and then roster them as road numbers E 964–974. Starting in 1940, the DSB urgently needed additional powerful steam locomotives and so it had another 25 class E locomotives built with small improvements by Frichs in Aarhus as road numbers E 975–999. These Pacifics held their own pulling passenger and freight trains up into the Sixties. However, one after the other they were put into storage. Several units were preserved however, including road number E 991 as an official DSB museum locomotive. It was in operation almost continuously until 2010 for special service and had the great honor on November 14, 2000 to be the motive power for the special train with the casket for Queen Ingrid from Copenhagen to the burial in Roskilde.
