Wonder which body style? Atlantique/Reseau/Thalys-1 or POS/Thays-2? |

TGV POS is good. That means that they can do a Thalys-2 (PBKA) with only a change of paint! |

Yes I would finally be interesting to have a TGV produced by Marklin. It will certainly be on my list of the ones I would like to have!  Kr, Frank |

OR they can as easily do the sole example of the unit owned by SBB/CFF/FFS.  |

I agree that a Märklin TGV would be good. I do want to mention that the 3-rail Mehano TGVs are all very nice as well, and I have the Thalys and the Duplex versions of these. I would welcome comparisons when the new Märklin versions come out!!--MM |

Here is the first official information from one of the Maerklin distributors (Holland) about the new TGV POS model. http://www.marklin.nl/nieuws/tres-grande-vitesseI will wait to see more detailed photos of the actual model, but am pretty sure that it will be nicer than the old Lima, Jouef and Mehano models. Hopefully the model will represent a model that can be found on French, German and Swiss rails, complete with all pantographs and features for those routes. Regards Mike C

Well, I only hope that this TGV will INDEED be made to the correct H0 scale (1:87) and won't come with any movable "skirts". |

With the Jacobs Bogies, I doubt that there will be any problem with the connections between coaches. The only possible problem will be between the motor units and the first and last coach, as these are equipped with normal bogies and normal connections on the prototype. How Maerklin will render this is not yet clear. The photo on the Maerklin.nl site does not show much detail in this regard and is only a sample photo.
Regards,
Mike C

How Maerklin will render this is not yet clear. This is clear now. Today I received DER MODELLEISENBAHNER with a Märklin ad for the TGV. Motor unit and first coach have a fixed connection. One motor unit has four powered axles (so I presume there are plastic "toothpicks" inside (as John calls them)). Units come with interior lights. They don't mention metal (except for the handrails), so I presume TGV has a plastic case. No word about the motor (but the number 37790 indicates it's not a SDS). They mention that it's prototypical length. |

I believe the prototype is some 200 meter long, so the full 10-part model in true 1:87 would be about 230 cm! Very nice long train. I want it!
And if they bring the Thalys-version in 2011, I want that too (oh boy, need more budget).
But I guess the model has one motorised unit, correct? Would that mean running in one direction only?

Hi,
Complete train 2.3 meters long and one DCM motor; so plastic body ... not exactly my dream train ... will pass on this one. May buy the SBB version if it ever comes out with a sensible price tag.

Make your decision when it shows up in M*'s product database or new items brochure. Then there'll be more dealers with pre-order prices, too. I wait for the Thalys livery (and avoid the toothing problems). |

Considering the price, I think this model will come with the same setup as the cancelled Trix ICE-1.
By "5-pole motor"; it means the new can motor used on recent Trix models or a variant of it; application can also be found on M* 37308/37309.
If this model comes with full sound and interior lighting; wow, what a bargain! Compare it to the price of the current Marklin ICE-3.. |

The locomoties are full metal. Both locomotives will have a motor in them. And you can already buy them for 360 euro from a famous german seller. That's a much better price tag than 470 euro.
The sets with two will cost you 104 euro, instead of the hefty 140 euro.

Rumours have been around for a while now that at least the motor unit will be made of metal; but I'm still a bit skeptical. Obviously with a high speed train model, design consideration would be prioritized to achieve what the prototype does best; to achieve high speed. So overall, the train needs to be quite lightweight; excepting the end units. Secondly; as with the ICE models; the TGV will not be expected to haul any significant loads beyond its consist. So a very heavy motor unit (for tractive effort) is not really necessary for decent running.. And of course, there are cost implication to consider. High speed trainset forced buyers to get at least a minimum consist of say, 3 to 5 units in one set. It means price would naturally be quite premium compared to the rest of the range, and metal body would add a lot to that basic price. Look at the current pricing for both ICE3s in Marklin and Trix range.. and they only come with sound modules! The prices for the TGV we're seeing now simply says something gotta give; between the metal body of the motor unit, MFX Loksound, and interior lighting.. In saying that... I'd be very happy if the motor unit would indeed come with a metal body.. Hats off for Marklin if they managed to squeeze all the above in this package for the given price.. |

Yes, you're right. I read it now too. Apperently, the message saying the TGV would have two engines is faulty. I do wonder if you can ride it both ways then? Isn't it going to derail when the locomotive is pushing and the non-motor locomotive is in front?

No. With the ICE models, Marklin usually put a metal ballast on the non-powered motor unit to keep it stable in push-mode. I reckoned this will the same in the new TGV. I think only M* RAM TEE have a problem with that.. From the latest description, I think it can be concluded that the motor unit is going to be plastic body and metal frame. Reason is simple; cost.. Having the powered unit in metal and the non-powered one in plastic is no go either -as this would mean that Marklin had to develop two seperate casting for the same motor unit (even more expensive!). |

ICE has the motorised unit in the middle of the train, so it pushes only 3 or 4 coaches. This TGV will have to push the full 2.30 meter. Does not sound comfortable... Peter |

Hi Peter, As we know, Marklin had made plenty of screw ups before... guess we can't really be 100% sure until we see the first test reviews. If they do manage to make a TGV that derails on push mode, just as well they didn't seem to learn from their previous mistakes. Right now I'm not overly concern though, but who knows? |

well considering the recently produced swiss mouse has metal body which they were happy to make lets see what they put on show at the show next weekend so presume someone from the net is going to be there and report back. and all the speculation can be put to rest.

John This retailer is at Lisieux, Normandie about 40 Km east of Caen, he is well known in France. He runs a toy & models shop. It's OK for people interested in French Railways. If you are not in a hurry he probably can provide many things else .... Each year he is editing his own train shop catalogue ( he sells it) He is known as an incredible grouch !( which is the reason why he is well known...) He has a tremendous knowledge of French Railroad and French train model ingeneral. Found of railways, he likes to drive himself some old steamer... Rarely he also produce limited run of handy craft kits... Prices are not so competitivebut people appreciate his knowledge about model making ( as usual customer one can get some discount...If he is in a good mood, we can discuss...)

John I agree about the Panorama Railcar . It will be produced by "Mistral Train" who is a serious manufacturer. (Much more serious than LS Model/LSM). It's plastic but engraving & moulding are fine. Like Marklin : motorized items are delivered with full digital and interior lighting (factory installed electronics) for 3 rails and 2 rails. They also have good quality motorization (in contrast to LSM). Have a look on a pre-serial model:

A six-piece train should be there long before Xmas - maybe even the full 10-piece train. Märklin never makes fixed dates, postponements are quite common. |
