Prototype: 6-axle steam-powered railroad car slewing crane type 058 (Ardelt) with a load capacity of 57 t with crane protection car (rebuilt from Rms Stuttgart) and equipment car 631 of the German Federal Railroad (DB). Coloration of the steam crane in chrome oxide green. With coat of arms of the city of Ludwigshafen on the Rhine. Operating condition around 1977. One of the most indispensable helpers of the reconstruction years in the young Federal Republic were certainly the steam cranes of the Ardelt company with a load capacity of 57 t. Regardless of whether they were used with their impressive power for recovery, lifting or loading, they always attracted the attention of railroad fans. These perfectly adapted cranes guaranteed precise work despite their mass. You can now call one of these great helpers to work on your model railway layout. Thanks to the excellent combination of extensive electronic equipment and mechanical refinements, this slewing crane impresses with its richness of detail and convinces even in the difficult or tricky terrain of your model railway layout.
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.
