Not in the 70's, they have made some French sets more recently but so far as I remember none of them were full starter sets, only the trains were part of the set. There might have been one now that I think of it with an electric engine and freight wagons but I need to go through some catalogues. I am talking in the last 7 years or so.

Yes it was a BB 12000 around 2005/2006 There were another one, round about the year 2004 with 3 passenger coaches + BB 15000 : I prefer this one because the Marklin BB 15000 is just a beast for every owners of train layout who like to play & to roll.... & to play & to roll... & to play & to roll again & again....  ....and a well designed replica (my own taste), specially the accurate design of the front windows & the whole front side (according many specialists of this Lok...) The BB 12000 is an accurate replica for sure & quite well detailed, it was designed by the Trix team... Edited by user 07 June 2012 12:03:06(UTC)

Yes Stephen, this one is with the BB 12000, originaly designed by the Trix team for the Marklin Trix programm of the year 2002, and fitted with a can motor...According most of French MRR enthusiasts , it is the most accurate model ever made by industrial manufacturers of the wellknown BB 12000 ,. She is quite well detailled....and all metal ! While ref 29529 is with a BB 15000....

There was AFAIR a start set with a French steam (repainted DB model 3000 or 3029) at some point in the 1960s/70s. I remember seeing it in Paris in 1972. I don't remember which dealer it was. I do remember that I left the shop with some catenary stock for my little start set oval and my brother got the middle coach for his RAm. It turned out that the coach was a 4070 (3 pin) and did not work with his 3071 (2 pin). I do not know if all sets made for the Importer would be listed in Koll, but there should be records somewhere.
Regards
Mike C

Hi Mike, A special set sold in France and other European countries (except Germany) in the early 1970s was the Set 0974. It came with a simplified 3029 which was not in the normal assortment any more in these years. But no special colours. http://cgi.ebay.fr/251054243036 shows the set. Regards Markus

Hi, In 1988, Märklin Primex produced an "Orient Express" train set (#2701, with a French ex Nord/ SNCF 230, or 4-6-0 engine, and three passenger cars). The Marklin Primex set Orient Express 2701, Cars based on the 4037 standard issue sheet-metal, were finely painted and lettered, with gilt touches on the cello windows. The engine was all metal, and the set is now well sought after. It commands a respectable price, and many are still brand new in the box.  In fact I believe there may have been a similar small tank engine freight set about the same time. regards Kimball |
HO Scale - Märklin digital DB ep III, C Track - other 2 rail HO scale models (US - N&W and Australia - Queensland) - English LNER/BR Hornby Dublo 3-rail - a few clockwork items O gauge Märklin and Hornby. |

I had that set. It came with a 3029 plus one flat car and a hopper car with a red bucket. The second car in the set is not the one that originally came with the set. It also came with a small transformer 220V and an oval of 3120 industrial radius track.
The one that I was thinking of was very similar, but the lok had the cab painted green (if I remember) and it had SNCF markings.
Regards
Mike C
