Joined: 09/05/2011(UTC) Posts: 2,886 Location: Somewhere, But Nowhere Near Manchester, England		Well, I like the following items and would hope to buy them sometime this year; Insider E93 [On Order] 37423 Koploper [On Order] 26593 Schwerer Kohlenzug 00797 Display Selbstentladewagen Fad 167 37792 + associated add-on sets to make full consist - TGV Lyria [I hope this runs as well as the ICE 3 which runs fantastic!!!!!] 46083 Güterwagen-Set. And Maybe I could be tempted by; 37013 BR 110.3 39730 Nahverkehrs-Dieseltriebwagen Baureihe 648.2 37127 NS Series 1200 (Blue) 42787 Mitropa Coach set The NOHABS also look great...................but I worry this is just a re-issue and more of the same, but I am open minded and wait to be impressed........ BR Glenn PS: I would note that I am still waiting to buy an new Rheingold coach set I thought was being released last year and so that will hopefully finally be realised later this year.

I believe they are also going to be the correct length, unlike the old ones which are over 1 cm too short.

I was wondering whether this function is the "Coupler dance" as you describe it Glen. I have heard about this functionality (Glen you mention that it is available on the ESU v4 decoders) and was wondering whether Marklin had included it as a new function. I do not see any further detail in the New Items release notes. Unfortunately my German is not good enough to follow the Stummi discussions where there may be further information. Patience and we will find out in due course. If it is not this functionality then I may have to invest in an ESU v4 decoder and install it in my shunting locomotive to test.

Most of Märklin's new items are locomotives or cars I already have as an older Märklin version, or from another manufacturer. But in some way, I'm glad that "Märklin and the others" don't have much more items of interest for me this year. Why? 2014 seems to become an interesting year regarding trams and busses in 1:87 scale. Propably some long missing models from Nuremberg and Munich are going to be released this year, such as a Munich M3-class car. Regards, Florian

I fail to see what special with that loc, but if Mike C says it was never made by anyone before so I'm pretty sure he is correct... Have to say reading so many remarks about the quality of the motors and decoders makes me a little uneasy. I will probably wait and read more on that great forum before getting 2014 models. Cheers,

That is one huge advance in the application of the model decoder. Almost like my self-park modern motor car. I would certainly go for that feature. I hope Marklin adds it to their line-up of system features. regards Kimball Edited by user 20 January 2014 21:04:18(UTC)  | Reason: Edited to clarify - feature is speculative and maybe not available.

Joined: 14/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 15,840 Location: Gibraltar, Europe		Is the "coupler dance" really available on Marklin locos, or is this just Chinese whispers? I don't see any post above that confirms this function. By all means feel free to prove me wrong. I have the 37616 Br 261 from last year which has the same list of functions, except that the function is called "Special Function" instead of "Switching Manoeuvre" Edit: In the locomotive's manual this "Special Function" is described as "Low Speed Switching Range", so I suspect that's all it is on the new loco too. http://medienpdb.maerkli...lename=37616_betrieb.pdf

I am not sure though, I got a 37862-01 BR86 with telex this year, it had two turtle icons...one for direct drive, and one for this low speed switching maneuvers. Unlike direct drive, acceleration and braking delay are maintained. In the case of the BR86, the headlights come on on both ends in addition to the slower driving/finer control (the headlights are noted in the function description). I think Ray has already confirmed this with the manual as stated above, but perhaps in the future they will have something like a coupling dance. -Brandon

The original Chief was hauled by Alco PA-1s (A-B-A sets). The GM EMD F units were everywhere, almost every railroad had them and certainly every "class 1" US railroad had them. The were easier to mix and match for multiple unit operations. I don't think that the PA-1 and F units worked well together in multiple unit operation. Alcos were however primarily used in passenger traffic at the beginning of their careers, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch of imagination, and the very first Alco PA-1 was delivered to ATSF (in 1946). -Brandon

Joined: 13/02/2008(UTC) Posts: 798 Location: Kirseberg		This year there are alot of goodies but I'll propably have to pass on them as this is gonna be an expensive year for me. I´ve just bought a completely new clarinet (3822 Euro) and also I´m gonna go to New York between August 24th-29th and also I need to buy wood to build my layout. However this is my list: Still waiting for the Dm3, 37555 from last year and also I´d like to buy some past models, but I´ll propably have to pass on them this year too. Pre-ordered: 26496 Super chief. If I´m gonna buy one item besides the 37555, this is the one this year. Wish-list: 37943: Swedish T44. This is my favorite loco with sound. But my interest is less now that there´s no SDS. 37419: Swedish RC. Just because I have almost every swedish RC-loc. 37942: Swedish/Norwegian T44. Same reasons as 37943 46372: Needed for the 37553/37555 37756: Just because this is a Swedish model.

I bought it here in Toronto for about the same price. I am wondering, however, when it will get here I was hoping by the end of March. Am I too optimistic? baggio attached the following image(s):

We need to look out for the delivery schedule from Marklin. You can find this on their website, but at the moment it does not yet show 2014 new items. The loco is of interest to me, seeing as I want to expand my Italian locos, but not high on my list of priorities. As far as I can see this is a standard Marklin Hobby TRAXX, which are now being factory fitted with the MFX decoder with sound. I would be more interested in it if it were offered without sound at the previous Hobby prices.

That said, this year's lineup still did not have the two loks that I've been looking for the most: BR 18.4 in DB livery BR 110 in Blue to go with my Pop Car set The 37870 E93 caught my eye, especially since I don't have an E93 ... yet So it looks like most of my funds this year will go to track, signals and perhaps the long awaited CS2!

Cheers, Alain, Maerklin, Hag and Roco have all made red Re 4/4II. The models have either had the original round headlights or the halogen headlights (taken from the Re 4/4IV) that were adopted in 1983. Last year, the first models of the LION update (Re 420) were released by Hag and a few weeks ago the Maerklin version came out. This new Maerklin model will be the first red HO model of a lok equipped with the new LED headlights designed for the LION update. You cannot at this moment get this model from Hag or Roco. I cannot say whether one of those companies may also decide to produce this model this year. The other point of interest for this model for Maerklin modellers is that most of Maerklin's Re 4/4II models are currently assigned to the Cargo Division and modellers who want to be prototypical for the era will appreciate having a model that belongs to the Passenger Division.

I would be quite happy if standard locos brought only a horn or whistle sound. I am with you.Motor and a horn in more than enough.

So it will be two Nohabs really. But I will weight for the next livery before buying a second one danmarklinman attached the following image(s):

Another question that I have is when will these new items for 2014 will actually be available? There are still some new items from 2013 that are not yet available. Also the 87299 "Metronom" Bi-Level Car Set carriage set was a new item for 2012 and that is still is still listed as not yet in stock. I too have been waiting for 87299 since preordering in 2012(received loco 88370 on 10/24/12). And the updated delivery dates(March) on the Marklin site, 87299 doesn't even exist on the list! What happened ?

What happened ? Believe it or not: shipping has begun for Märklin 87299 (product database shows yellow lights). Initially announced for Q3/2012, the first batch was shipped February or March 2014 and it was taken from the list. They had (and have) similar delays for some Märklin H0 items. I presume it's the aftermath of China production (moulds returning incomplete or damaged along with teething problems with producing items themselves (they had batches of Z scale coaches shaped like bananas - I'm afraid the cooling time was too short and they had to produce the items twice)). Situation has improved for H0 delivery timings and I expect it'll become better for Z and I gauge, too. Back to topic: My Märklin 2014 pre-orders can be described as "{}" (the empty list). I pre-ordered a set of Trix freight cars from the 2014 new items and I'm still waiting for a Märklin coach set from the 2013 new items (initially announced for Q4/2013, currently listed as Q2/2014).

So, unless you already have a 88370 loco, it is not possible to get a matched set of loco and carriages.

Joined: 14/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 15,840 Location: Gibraltar, Europe		The first of my pre-ordered 2014 items arrived this week, the 37138 DRG Br73. It's a great looking loco, with lots of interesting detail. I gave it a run on my layout and was very impressed with the running qualities. It crawls nicely at low speed and accelerates smoothly to a realistic maximum speed. No jerks, no hesitation, just perfect! I received at the same time the last of my pre-ordered items from 2013, the 37907 Br290. I've had to wait over a year for this loco but it was worth the wait! Next to arrive should be the Prussian class 'T' (37166) and its train of tanker cars (46084), both scheduled for Q2. Can't wait!

So, unless you already have a 88370 loco, it is not possible to get a matched set of loco and carriages. This happened to me with a set of Belgian coaches that were produced individually, consisting of a 1st/2nd, a 2nd and a driving trailer. When I became interested in these coaches I ordered one of each and only received the first two. When I inquired about the driving trailer it turned out that it was no longer available. In the end I ordered another 2nd class coach just so that I could have a 3 coach train. Today I would probably search for the missing item on ebay, as it's quite likely you will find one for sale. A few years ago when I got these coaches I hadn't even heard of ebay!
