My shop in Paris (Au Pullman, Paris largest) received their first units around 14 December but they were all gone very fast. That got me decide to order my set (but not at 700€).
I understand the first production run delivery started around mi-December 2023 and ended up by mid-February.
There are 2 units available on ebay Germany but at Märklin listed price (679€) while the best price is way below (my set was ordered 599€ and still can be reserved at that price).
Märklin Website says "Vorübergehend nicht lieferbar Jetzt im Handel nachfragen" (Not available at the moment check with retailers).
It indicates there is another production run being produced otherwise they would indicate "Ausverkauft" (Sold-out) and German shop wouldn't be accepting new reservations.
Cheers
Jean

I ordered this set as soon as it was announced. I have been a bit anxious seeing pictures and reviews posted here. I have asked my dealer who responds with a friendly shrug, saying "It arrives when it arrives". I suspect shipping woes, Suez, Panama, and China's economic woes (if they are made in China) are all adding to delay. In North America it will have to come through Missouri, to end up inCanada. That which may make it slower. Thank you for raising the issues surrounding delivery. I am less concerned.
Meanwhile my SNCF 241, and SNCB pacific are happily pulling segments of the Orient Express. Now if Marklin would only make some 1950"s sleeping cars, and restaurant cars for my imaginary Stockholm to Rome trains.

I ordered mine right away also, maybe 14 months ago, but they will arrive one of these days - at least I think they will.
Since I had basically given up hope that Märklin would make a set like this, I will not complain about a wait.
Regards,
Jim
I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains!
So many trains and so little time.

These seem to be cropping up in europe based on some forum FB posts and other places :), but I have not heard anything more than that, or seen it in stock anywhere. Hopefully they arrive en masse soon

They are being released. I have one.
As an aside, I hate the packaging. Each coach has its own package, like they were engines.

I almost revived this thread the other day because I am still waiting on my Edelweiss coach set.
It is good to hear that some are finally being delivered, which gives me hope that mine will arrive fairly soon.
Regards,
Jim

European dealers having them often means weeks or even months until US dealers get them.
For whatever reason, North American dealers often are the last to get any new Marklin item. No surprise there.

Hi Dickinsonj,
Hey I think you might be right on this one!
Especially since the maritime disaster in Baltimore and bridge collapse, container ships are getting diverted so it means containers bound to Märklin USA would be delayed more and more…
Looks like delivery of Märklin Edelweiss sets are doomed in US of A cause above mentioned unfortunate events.

Marklineisenbahn

I wasn't thinking of the shipping crunch on the east coast Marklineisenbahn.
I will report back if mine ever shows up!

Be patient.....it will arrive. And it is a wonderful set. worth the waiting.
It happened the same with my CCS700, my dealer in Chile lost the first batch of them, will have to wait till July aprox.
Regards
German trains era I-II and selected III, era depends on the mood, mostly Maerklin but i can be heretic if needed XD, heresy is no longer an issue.. LOL

Thanks for the encouragement Francisco, andi t is good to hear that this set of coaches is worth waiting for!
My dealer no longer gives me any updates on this kind of thing, which is not making it any easier, but someday they will arrive.
International shipping is a mess these days, which I'm sure is not helping either.
Regards,
Jim

Hi
I am sorry to say it again: Frenchman here, I am still waiting for my Edelweiss set and it may take another month.
I witnessed the delivery of the first 42470 sets in Au Pullman in Paris before Dec.15. 2023 and still there are many sets to be delivered.
The sets are still offered to new buyers so, I may be wrong but:
- you have to be patient
- no America has no unfair treatment (first ordered, first served BUT with (1) a nearby first delivery in case a return to factory is needed and (2) some shipment uncertainties everywhere in the world (Panama canal, Suez canal, Baltimore disaster)
There is a good indicator: on ebay Germany, these models keep on being delivered at reasonable prices
Why don't I purchase one of those? Because I have ordered one set at 590€ at Haertle
Cheers
Jean

Good info Jean, but I have seen American delivery of Marklin items come last for many years. It is not unusual for me to receive my first Insider model close to the end of the year, months later than my European friends have received theirs. I know, first world problems, it is just that I have been waiting for years for Marklin to make these coaches, and I am not getting any younger.
I ordered my Edelweiss set in January of 2023 and it would be interesting to know when the people who already have these coaches ordered theirs.
Regards,
Jim

Hallo Dreileiters,
Well, what puzzles me is fact that Edelweiss TRIX set for 2 Rail is SOLD OUT at factory and production/ release date for this set is set at 3-4 Quarter of 2024.
Meanwhile Märklin 3 Rail Edelweiss set is poping up since January and dealers still taking orders!
eBay is actually full of them price ranges from 535 Euros to 695 Euros.
Regards,
Marklineisenbahn

Case in point. I ordered two CCS700. One from German dealer, one from Canadian dealer. I picked up from Canadian dealer. My German dealer is still waiting delivery.
