Ah, the picture on page two brings back memories of a better time ...

I know it is not comparable, at least from a point of view of value, but I always think that if I want something like this, I print the size I want the image I want in sticker paper and attach to the wagon or trailer I want...

Hello


at least de catalogue of Trix

Green Cargo Rc 4 would be amazing with their new Rc tooling, hopium

(I know its an Rc 2 in the picture, but the livery is very nice)

Well, there we go.

Kinda sad we didn't see any new British loco, but oh well.

The Swedish F-1200 is really nice, but I think I just have to sit this one out as its a little too expensive for me at the moment. I am certain it will sell out very quickly as its a highly anticipated model, and those usually keep their value over time as well. At least a handful of people will most certainly buy it just as an investment...

I do like this a lot:

And this is very interesting:


The snow covered C-track set is interesting for sure. I wonder if there is a market for this? Will they gradually offer all C-track in snow-covered variants with time?

Watched Marklin TV episode 127, discussing upcoming new products in 2024 and there is a number of items in Z scale, starting on page 105. Not sure when these will be available, as some of the new products in 2023, are yet to be released. Her is a link to the catalogue: https://streaming.maerkl...F/EN_maerklin_nh2024.pdf

The ES44 never existed in this livery with the PRR. When the PRR was dissected, parts of it were integrated into other railroads. Some went to Conrail. The main Northeast Corridor went to Amtrak and remnants of the freight operations (of Pensy and Conrail) eventually went to Norfolk Southern. Over the past few years, North American operators have been cladding their locomotives in liveries of defunct railroads, of which Pennsylvania is a well known example. The NS locomotives and probably even the PRR Heritage loco has made it up to Montreal on the former NYC trackage.

This locomotive seems to be the first in a series of "Heritage" locomotives. Probably the number is greater in AC models than in DC because these models are more likely to already exist in DC from North American manufacturers.

I would rather see a model of the Siemens Venture Consist for VIA Rail.

Broadway Limited Imports has also released one in this paint scheme, https://broadway-limited.com/products/7179-ge-es44ac-ns-8102-pennsylvania-railroad-heritage-unit-paragon4-sound-dc-dcc-smoke-ho

And the prototype:

The F1200 has a cab roof in black in the CAD image and is grey (same color as the boiler) in the presentation video.
I prefer the black and i think it makes a difference. Let's see what will be the the roof color of the real item.

We already have a topic on Marklin 2024 New Items, and the pdf download links are already posted there so we don't really need another thread.

Merging this with the existing.

There was this one too: https://www.walthers.com...a-railroad-8102-tuscan-d

Thanks for starting the topic.
Just now after the merge we will take the intrest and discussion further at dedicated fora and or fb groups.

Hi everyone,

Just been checking out the new items Marklin recently announced and was happy to see the new release of the BR103 (item no 39151)

After contemplating buying one second hand, I decided to wait and see if was going to be included in the new items for 2024.

One thing I noticed, the description says that the pantographs raise up and down digitally yet, if you look at the manual & the digital functions it doesn’t seem correct. Personally I’d prefer raising the pantographs myself since I hear the automatic ones can break easily.

Hopefully Marklin confirms the features before putting in my preorder.

Also, I looked at some of the new freight wagon where the description mentions a locomotive to suit. I’m looking forward to seeing what SNCF and NMBS/SNCB locomotives they come out with.

It is nice to see them going after markets that were previously overlooked. As somebody who models Switzerland, I have a lot of international coaches in my collection. The CD coaches most commonly seen in trains on Swiss tracks are the WLABmz sleepers attached to the Nightjet trains to Salzburg and Dresden. I was lucky enough to find these from LSM a while ago. The Salzburg train is very interesting, because it is a mix of Nightjet (OBB), SBB, MAV (Hungarian) with the CD sleeper at the end.

I had an earlier version of this night train (1/100) by combining coaches from the 42724 Paris-Budapest train (OBB and MAV coaches) with Roco's 26cm SBB EN coach and sleeper along with a few more OBB Eurofima coaches. At that time, there were no CD coaches on that run.

I think the CD coaches can be found into Germany and into Austria and I think as far as Venice in Italy too.

Being an M-Track-ista for lo, these many a yarn...

on page 29 a C-Gleis pack in "Schneeoptik"!!! 20124...

Whisper Mode On...shades of Primex "schnee" ballast track... Whisper Mode Off

Do I dare to make the leap??

At Berlin HBF in November 2018, I photographed a CD train originating in Prague and going on to Hamburg.
The loco was a leased BR193 but painted in CD colours.

Märklin has announced several nice new models for 2024.

We Norwegians are not spoiled with many models from Märklin. Which is why I sent them a letter (on paper) early in the 1990s asking them to make more models from Scandinavia. I even received an answer, telling me to be patient. Well, here we are 30 years later and still no Norwegian passenger cars. But we will have the chance to buy the Swedish F 1200 steamer (item number 39490). This looks to be a beautiful model.

In case anyone from Märklin is reading this, please note that at least this customer wish that:
* sets with multiple identical waggons are released without the littranumber / road number. To make a prototypical train we need that each waggon has a different road number. We could then buy 30 identical waggons and add the road numbers ourselves.
* I want my model railroad to be as realistic as possible. This includes both passenger cars that are 1:87 in scale lengthwise. And I would like the start / acceleration to be even smoother than the models of today are capable of.

The biggest news for 2024 – in both meanings of the word – is Märklin item 55990. The Big Boy in 1 gauge. I have always been fascinated by “Spur 1”, but never bought anything of that scale. But this model makes me reconsider…


I am also extremely interested in what Roco will release this year. Some years ago, I switched from collecting only Märklin to collecting mainly Roco, together with some other brands. The main reason is because I wanted to run trains I am most familiar with from real life in Norway. I read somewhere that Roco would release their new models on January 12th, but on this thread I see the date 18th of January. It’s of course too late to make wishes for 2024, but if someone from Roco reads this, my wishes are:
- An all yellow Beilhack snow thrower in “Jernbaneverket” livery
- A “Norwegian” BR 52 steamer, road number 2770 “Stortysker”.
- El 18 in the all red paint scheme as it looked in the 1990s until it was painted in silver.
- More Swedish Rc-locomotives. I'd like an Rc5 and Rc6 in blue paint scheme, as well as an Rc4 (in all green paint with a red diagonal line) from Green Cargo. A former ÖBB 1043 in silver paint with a red line from TågAB would be nice. I would also love a model of Rc5 in orange paint with the text "SJ:s 300:e Rc-lok"


I guess we just have to wait another week to see what Roco will grant us.

Some nice looking stuff, but finally an Xmas train that I would be okay with running around the tree - the other models have been way too nice to risk getting bumped/knocked but the new set and expansion pack are an instant buy for me!

Hi,

I thought that would be the case, it looks like Marklin copied and pasted the description from a previous version.

I have since placed a pre-order for this one. My main concern over the digitally controlled pantograph is mainly around the difficulties in having it repaired if I end up breaking it. Being in Perth Australia, there are no local authorised Marklin repairers.

For me, the simpler the better!

A side-by-side comparison of the Maerklin UP ES44AC and a Broadway UP ES44AC makes me think they both came from the same factory.

Hi!

Does anyone knows when the NI2024 delivery dates will be published?

Best regards,
