Märklin Catalog Car for 1934

Through the History of Märklin Catalog Title Pages.
The painting adorning this car shows the scenery at a snowy country station in the foothills of the Alps with a mighty mountain in the background early in the afternoon around 2?. The station name definitely ends with "…dorf", since the station sign on the station building ends with "…rf". The conductor or the station supervisor – also known as the "Rotkäppchen/Red Cap" – stands with the Zp9 signal paddle in his hand on the station platform and greets the locomotive engineer on the class 01 express Pacific – definitely coupled to a high quality heavy express racing through the station. On the opposite track comes a Swiss prototype brown electric locomotive, possibly with a commuter train headed to the Alps.

Prototype: Privately owned type Ibopqs refrigerator car with the title page of the Märklin catalog from 1934.
