Hi,
Marklin have been producing an annual Christmas wagon since 1993, making a total of seventeen to date. In addition there have been a number for different markets including three or four for Switzerland on the basis of the 4735 HBIS wagon produced towards the end of the 1990s. The German Post Museum had some on the basis 4680 and 4481, possibly three and two. There have been a number for Christmas markets, Munich and Ulm and possibly others. Christmas beers have have also been popular. There is the potential for quite a trainload if you make Christmas a theme. Keep looking on E-bay is probably your best bet. Remember to use the German "Weinacht" when doing a search.
Photos of some but not all these wagons may be found on the Bigio sight.
This year's wagon will probably be announced when the Autumn brochure comes out, probably in September or October.

All of Marklins Christmas cars look like crap.
They better make them something usefull you can actually use to run around the christmas tree, not something you will feel ashamed about.

Hi,
Like anything else on e-bay,you should have your price and if bidding goes beyond that point, forget about it. There will always be another one. I would agree the Swiss vans can get quite expensive but the normal annual examples from Marklin are produced in fairly large numbers and so should appear second hand fairly often and should go for a reasonable price.

Agreed Ray, I have most - not all - think they look great, but each to his own I guess. I put some with Christmas loc 37351, some with the red class 10 37082 and my glass cars I pull with my snowy croc 39569. Winter layout hasn't been "up" for a couple of yars though. The 37351 and 37082 consists have this: http://www.modellbahn.com/images/48399.500.jpgas their end wagons and the snow croc with the glass cars have this one as end car: http://www.modellbahn.com/images/48405.jpgI was fortunate to get my Christmas tree cars before they were found to be from made of gold and silver though , Cheers, Jeremy. |

There are very few in the UK who run Marklin, with Roco and Fleischmann being the preferred European makes. IF your interest is in SNFC I am sure somebody here in the forum will help. Maybe you could open another thread and see if ytou can get a response from somebody near where you are. dave |
