Model: Z gauge DC. Revised model with coreless motor, fine, complete, fully working linkage. As well as imitation brakes, sand downpipes and rail scrapers. All driving axles powered. Lighting with maintenance-free warm white LEDs.

Prototype: DB class 78 steam locomotive as it looked in Era IIIa. Originally designed in 1911 to speed up passenger train service on the island of Rügen, the T 18 (later class 78) with its symmetrical design with three coupled wheel sets, two bogies, large storage tanks and a top speed of 100 km/h in both directions of travel was one of the most popular most successful German tank locomotives. Implemented in an impressively highly detailed model of what is probably the most successful series of locomotives that ever ran on Germany's rails.
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.
