Model: Z gauge DC. Chassis made of metal, body made of plastic. Both bogies powered. Bell-shaped armature motor. Led headlights 3x warm white/2x red that change over with the direction of travel. Engine room lighting and imitation. Cab lighting. High level of detail with fine and elaborate colouring and lettering. Good tractive effort due to high vehicle weight. The cars have separately applied grab irons. 2 Res low side cars and 2 Fcs rotary side unloading cars. All of the cars are special designs, not available individually.
Prototype: V 320 001-1 diesel locomotive owned by the private track construction firm H.F. Wiebe. 2 DB AG Fcs rotary side unloading cars and 2 DB AG Res low side cars with H.F. Wiebe advertising lettering. All vehicles in Era VI condition. In 1962, Henschel sent the V 320 001 on loan to the DB as the largest and most powerful diesel-hydraulic locomotive in Europe at the time (3,800 hp). After various changes of ownership, it finally ended up in Italy. From there, the track construction company WIEBE spectacularly imported the V 320 back to Germany in 1999. After extensive refurbishment and a completed main inspection, it was back on German rails in March 2000 in construction train service, soon designated 320 001-1 (WIEBE 7). Its main task was to carry heavy loads of trains with track construction material. Her career was finally ended in 2015 by a wheel set bearing failure. Since 2017, it has enriched the manufacturer's plant in Kassel (now Alstom) as a showpiece.
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.
