Model: HO gauge AC. Dual-system locomotive class 248 (Vectron Dual Mode) of the Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsgesellschaft Pressnitztalbahn mbH (PRESS). From the Vectron series by Siemens. With mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. Controlled high-performance drive. 4 axles powered. Traction tyres. The three-light headlights and 2 red marker lights change over with the direction of travel and will work in conventional operation, but can be controlled digitally. The headlights on locomotive ends 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital operation. If the headlights are switched off on both sides of the locomotive, the double A-light works on both sides. Cab lighting can be digitally switched to change with the direction of travel. Headlights can be digitally switched separately. Lighting with maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs. Attached brake hoses enclosed separately.
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.
