They were the bread-and-butter locomotives of high-quality express service, especially in Europe: powerful steam locomotives with a 2’C1’ wheel arrangement, equipped with two leading axles, three (usually high) driving axles, and one trailing axle, representing a perfect design for high speeds with high tractive effort. The name "Pacific" originated in the USA, where this locomotive type was first introduced in 1901. On our continent, Belgium built not only one of the heaviest and most powerful Pacific locomotives, the Class 1, starting in 1935. Its imposing appearance also reflected the Belgians' pride in the achievements of their railway company. Locomotive 1.002 was preserved and restored to working order in 1985 for the grand 150th anniversary celebration. Today, the original locomotive, a meticulously maintained but unfortunately no longer operational exhibit, is on display at the Museum of the Three Valleys Steam Railway in Treignes. Now, the fantastic new Märklin model of this legendary museum locomotive, with its elegant green, red, and black livery, perfectly authentic sound, and prototypical steam generator, can keep the memory of this superb Pacific alive – in miniature, as a fascinating contrast to today's modern railway stars.
