Model: HO gauge AC. With mfx digital decoder. The three-light headlights and two red marker lights are on conventionally and can be controlled digitally. High beam can be switched on and off digitally. LED interior lighting installed as standard, conventionally on, digitally switchable. Driver's cab lighting digitally switchable. Current-carrying coupling conventionally on, digitally switchable. Red transparent tail light inserts at the end of the car without driver's cab. Type-specific underbody design. The bogies are type SIG 72.
A normal coupling can be used by removing a cover on the driver's cab side for coupling to a locomotive. Imprinted car running signs. Minimum radius of 360 mm that can be driven on.
Prototype: German Railroad (DB AG) type IC cab control car Bpmbdzf 296.1, 2nd class, for long distance service. Light grey long distance paint scheme with traffic red trim, in the current IC design. Carriage run: IC 2013 from Dortmund to Oberstdorf. Car order number 5. 2003 operating condition.
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.
