The real brick model came first. I worked from a photo of a Maerklin model
in one of my Maerklin catalogs.
I'm not sure I would have built it in CAD first, since I don't have a .dat
file for the 12v motor nor the 12v motor gray drive rods.
I now have built a second unit to run the DB236 in tandem. The Maerklin
model description said that two real-life units could be coupled for
increased power. The text also said that service included switch-yard
duties, freight, and commuter transport. Max speed was 60kmph (37.5mph).
Here's a POV of two units back-to-back. However, I'm not sure in what
orientation two units would be positioned: back-to-back? face-to-face?
back-to-face?

Thanks to Jeroen for pointing me to the parts update for the textured shutters!
I'm not sure what style of passenger equipment this DB236 might have hauled. ??
later,
James Mathis
