Marklin's 2004 Insider gauge 1 model of the 01 (55900)
Sold out - but 1 in stock

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 01. Version with older design boiler, front skirting and Witte smoke deflectors.

Model: Body and frame made mostly of metal, engineer's cab and separately applied parts made of plastic. 3 axles powered. Digital high-efficiency propulsion. RE-max motor with bell-shaped armature from the firm maxon motor ag. Permanent functions when the locomotive is operated with DC power, AC power, or Märklin Delta: Smoke generator and direction-dependent triple headlights (brightness depends on the voltage in the track). Operating sounds of the locomotive in motion synchronized with the rpm of the unit (can be turned off with a switch in the tender). Functions that can be controlled in Märklin Digital: Smoke generator. Triple headlights with constant brightness. Locomotive whistle. Running gear lights. Engineer's cab also lighted. Telex coupler on the tender. Operating sounds of the locomotive in motion synchronized with the rpm of the unit (can be turned off with a switch in the tender). The coal bunker is loaded with a layout of real hard coal. The lights are maintenance-free LED's. Included with the locomotive is an equipment package with claw and crew coupler, headlight loop frames, coupler grab irons, Figures of locomotive engineer and fireman (for the display case) as well as the brake system for the trailing truck, the doors on the tender und footplate between the tender and locomotive. This model requires a minimum radius of 1,020 mm / 40-3/16". Length over the buffers 75.0 cm / 29-1/2*.

Highlights:
Completely new tooling. Diecast boiler, tender, and frame. Digital high-efficiency propulsion. RE-max motor with bell-shaped armature from the firm maxon motor ag. Built-in sound effects circuit (steam locomotive sounds, locomotive whistle).
Running gear lights. Prototypical, finely detailed wheels. Engineer"s cab lighting. Built-in smoke generator. Telex coupler on the tender.

Gauge 1 model of the Berlin Commuter Service - 55024 -1 set in stock
Royal Prussian Railraod (KPEV) class T93

Prototype: Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (KPEV) class T93 and type AB3, C3, and D3 compartment cars.

Model: Train set consists of a tank locomotive, a 2nd class compartment car with a brakeman's cab, a 3rd lass compartment car with a brakeman's cab, and a 4th class compartment car with a brakeman's cab. 1 locomotive figure, 8 figures of seated passengers and exchange couplers included. Locomotive features: Body and frame down to just a few separately applied parts are made of metal. 3 axles powered. 2 traction tires. Locomotive has direction signs on the smoke box door and on the tank. Built-in digital high-efficiency propulsion for operation with DC power, AC power, or Märklin Delta/Digital. The directiondependent double headlights and the smoke generator can be turned on and off in digital operation. These lights and the smoke generator are on constantly in operation with DC power, AC power or with Märklin Delta. The brightness of these lights and the intensity of the smoke depend on the amount of voltage present in the track. Built-in sound effects circuit for digital operation with steam sound effects and locomotive whistle that can be turned on and off. In addition, the Telex coupler mounted on the back of the locomotive can be activated in digital operation. Car features: 3-axle passenger cars with brakeman's cab, with built-in LED interior lights that work in digital operation. Detailed interior details. Compartment doors can be opened. Light color scheme for the roofs ("Berlin tradition"). Models not available separately. Minimum radius required for operation 1,020 mm / 40-5/32". Total length over buffers 153.8 cm / 60-9/16".

Highlights:
Locomotive has typical direction signs on the smoke box door and on the tank.
Built-in sound effects circuit.
Digital high-efficiency propulsion.
Compartment doors can be opened.
Built-in LED interior lighting for digital operation. SORRY - SOLD

Marklin Gauge 1 Crocodile - 55562

Sold out - but 1 in stock

Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB/CFF/FFS) class Ce 6/8 II. Brown version as the prototype looked in Era II.

Model: The locomotive comes with an mfx decoder with a multiple function sound generator. Controlled high-efficiency propulsion with 2 motors. 6 axles powered. This locomotive can be run with AC power, DC power, Märklin Digital, and Märklin Systems. The headlights / marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The engineer's cab lighting, electric locomotive operating sounds, horn, and the direct control (acceleration and braking delay) can be controlled with a Control Unit or Märklin Systems. The sounds of the locomotive being coupled to a train (buffers striking one another), compressed air leaking, station announcements in Swiss German, and the sound of brakes squealing can be controlled with Märklin Systems. Two additional sounds (blower motors and compressor) can be controlled with the Central Station. The locomotive has a three-part body with finely detailed running gear. The running gear has cast drive rods and side rods. There are two grab irons on each of the hoods as well as separately applied walkover plates. There are 4 doors that can be opened. The roofs have many separately applied details as well as 2 older design working pantographs. The buffer beams have the older design spring-loaded buffers. The reproduction prototype couplers installed at the factory can be replaced by 2 claw couplers included with the locomotive. Mininum radius for operation 1,020 mm / 40-3/16". Length over the buffers 60.6 cm / 23-7/8".

Highlights:
mfx decoder.
Controlled high-efficiency propulsion with 2 motors.
Multiple function sound effects circuit with 2 speakers.
Engineer"s cab interior details and lighting.
Swiss headlight / marker light changeover.
Special sound effects: station announcements in Swiss German, sounds of the locomotive coupling up to a train.

Sumptuous Motive Power - Approximately 1,236 units of the class 94.5 tank locomotive were built from 1914 to 1924, and they were originally placed into service as the Prussian T16.1. During the provincial railroad and German State Railroad periods they were the most powerful locomotives for steep grades and switching work where the maximum axle load was 17 metric tons. These units were also the most suitable motive power for branch lines. The T 16/1 turned out to be extremely multi-faceted, trouble-free locomotives almost immediately after being placed into service. In addition, the single-frame design with two-cylinder running gear required less maintenance expense than somewhat complicated Mallet designs. The DRG certainly thought about a new standard design locomotive in this class as a replacement for the T16, but the war stopped this planning approach. Later the DB developed the class 82 from this concept within the framework of the new postwar program of locomotive types. These units were not able however to establish themselves as expected. By contrast, the last T16 survived their successors by many years. Several units have remained preserved as museum pieces. In addition to the locomotives placed into service by Prussia, there were also numerous, different provincial railroad designs of the T16.

The sound effects generator is specifically made for this locomotive and enables you to activate the following special operating and surrounding sound effects: Switching operations cab chatter (with Märklin Systems) as well as the injector for boiler water, generator sounds, compressed air leaking, and the sound of couplers engaging (with the Central Station).
