Model: HO gauge AC. The new close coupling head is specially designed for newly designed locomotives with a prototypically lower buffer beam and thus a lower buffer height from the top edge of the rail (according to NEM 303), in order to ensure that the close coupling system can be swiveled out below the buffer plates. The new short coupling head is compatible with all common Märklin couplings. For use in vehicles with a standard coupler pocket (NEM 362) and link guide, as well as in vehicles with a lower buffer height according to NEM 303. Compatible with standard couplers (NEM 360).
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.
