Model: HO gauge AC. Kansas City Southern (KCS) General Electric ES44AC heavy diesel-electric freight locomotive. Basic colour scheme yellow/red/black. Road number 4848. Today's operating condition. The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive light and sound functions. The locomotive has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a centrally mounted flywheel. Two axles in each of the trucks powered by cardan shafts. Traction tyres. The headlights change over with the direction of travel and have four lights at the front and two lights next to each other at the rear of the locomotive. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be turned off separately in digital pairs. Cab lighting, road number plates, main beam, and flashing function of the headlights can be controlled digitally. Lighting with maintenance-free warm white light emitting diodes (LED). The smoke generator with dynamic smoke emission is built in as standard and can be controlled digitally. Many separately applied details. For operation with claw couplers, the NEM shaft can be fixed with the enclosed clamps. Rail clearer with small cut-out for the front, brake hoses and two clamps for the NEM shaft are included.
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.
