Model: Escala Z. The locomotive is completely new tooling. The frame is constructed of metal, and the locomotive body is made of plastic. This is very fine construction with an extensive paint scheme and lettering. The locomotive has a motor with a bell-shaped armature. Both trucks powered. The locomotive has separately applied details, warm white / red LED headlights and marker lights that change over with the direction of travel. Both trucks powered. Length over the buffers 86 mm / 3-3/8".
Prototype: German Railroad, Inc. (DB AG) class 193 multi-system electric locomotive (Siemens Vectron) in a traffic red basic paint scheme. The locomotive looks as it did in Era VI around 2017.
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.
