Model: HO gauge AC. With mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. Controlled high-performance drive. Four axles powered. Traction tyres. The four-light headlights and one red marker light change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The cab lighting can be controlled digitally. When the headlights are off on both sides of the locomotive, the shunting lights are on on both sides. Numerous different light signals digitally switchable. Lighting with maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs. Plastic and metal grab irons. Buffer height according to NEM. rear view mirror mounted.

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.
