Prototype: ELL/LTE class 193 (Siemens Vectron) multi-system electric locomotive in "Flying Dutchman" design. Condition of epoch VI. The "Vectrons" from Siemens are very popular with private operators and leasing companies as multi-system electric locomotives of the 193 series. "LTE - Logistik und Transport GmbH" also has a few of these machines in its inventory, including road number 193 232 with special foiling, which was taken over by the leasing company ELL Austria GmbH on January 19, 2018. This is the 100th Vectron for the ELL and the LTE acknowledged this in the locomotive design with the figure of the Flying Dutchman, the "Flying Dutchman", who has been sailing under the LTE flag ever since. The locomotive symbolically shows a "flight" over the east-west axis, a continuous rail transport from Rotterdam to Constanza. With the "Flying Dutchman" the new locomotive design series "Logistics4Legends" started at LTE.
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.
