Model: HO gauge AC. Heavy electric locomotive Re 6/6 as Re 620 of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), SBB Cargo division. Fir green basic colour scheme. Round headlights, UIC sockets, sloping grab irons at the ends, with a maintenance hatch for the air conditioning system on one side of the locomotive. Locomotive road number 620 063-8, with Eglisau locomotive emblem. State of operation approx. 2013 to 2018. mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. Controlled high-efficiency propulsion with flywheel mass, centrally mounted. 4 axles (both axles in each of the two outer bogies) driven via cardan. Traction tyres. The three-light headlights change over with the direction of travel and 1 white marker light (Swiss light changeover) 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. If the headlights are switched off on both sides of the locomotive, the double A-light works on both sides. Lighting can be switched to 2 red tail lights. Cab lighting and engine room lighting can also be switched on and off digitally. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. Metal grab irons are mounted on the locomotive. Couplings can be exchanged for front skirts.
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.
