Model: HO Gauge AC. Pure digital model with digital decoder mfx and extensive sound functions. Model largely made of metal. 4 axles driven by two synchronised motors. Tamping unit can be moved vertically and horizontally, can be switched individually or in completely synchronised working mode. The three-light headlights and two red marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The headlights on locomotive ends 2 and 1 can be switched off separately in digital operation. Double A-light function. High beam and brake lights as well as roof flashing lights can be switched on. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. The cab has furnishings and switchable interior lighting. The lighting can be switched to blue or white for prototypical lighting. The work cab lighting can be switched on and off. The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally. Automatic changeover from diesel to electric running sound when the pantograph is raised.
Prototype: Unimat type rail tamping machine from Plasser & Theurer Baumaschinen GmbH. Used for maintenance of track systems after new construction or reconstruction. Operating condition 2020.
In 2009 Märklin celebrated its 150th anniversary. However, from an initially quite wide range of toys, the product range concentrated over time on the manufacture of electric railways in different gauges. The excellent quality of the products made the name Märklin synonymous with model railways worldwide. Even today, the material metal is an essential element in the manufacture of locomotives, which thereby gain additional value in addition to their proverbial reliability and performance.
Märklin H0: The majority of Märklin products are manufactured in this gauge on a scale of 1:87. Due to the high operational reliability of the Märklin H0 three-wire alternating current system, Märklin has contributed to making this gauge the most widely used in the world. All Märklin H0 locomotives have been digitally controllable as standard since 2000.
Märklin Z-gauge: Model railway enthusiasts do not only opt for Z-gauge on a scale of 1:220 when space is limited. In Europe Märklin is the only large-scale manufacturer of Z-gauge, which appeals not only to passionate layout builders but also to collectors.
