Maerklin has not made a model of the specific Re 4/4II (AFAIR 11195-11201) that were used of the same train between Zurich and Lindau and back (1971-72), but they do make a Re 4/4II in green. Nor does Maerklin have a model of the specific green Re 4/4I that was used to pull the TEE Rheingold from 1962-1972, but they also make a model that may have been used to pull that train at some point (37044).
I guess we would also have to include the E 10 that was used to pull the "Rheingold" from 1962 to 1965 in the original blue/beige livery.
I don't know which loks were used by the NS to pull the "Rheingold" and other trains on the Amsterdam to Emmerich section, but Maerklin also had some NS models from that era.
Specifically in TEE colors, there were the following:
DB
103
112 (110.3)
120 (Never saw service with International TEE trains. May have been used for domestic DB TEE trains. Was used in IC service (post 1979)
SBB
Re 4/4I
Re 4/4II
SNCF
CC40100
SNCB
18 (old number)
Trainsets
SBB RAm/NS DE "Edelweiss"
SBB RAe "Gottardo" Hi Mike C et al., Ahh, the TEEs! My favourite subject!  the BB9200 in red/wite (M 3059) was used to pull "Le Capitole" before it became a TEE. The SNCF switched to the CC6500 and "grand confort" cars when it became a TEE. Old red and white cars (M 4075) were still used for some time for additional Capitole trains on peak days, but always pulled by 6500s. Neil is correct when he asks about "TEE colours": the official colours defined when forming the TEE consortium were red and cream. However, as you know, other colours were used, notably inox (PBA64 and Mistral 69 belonging to SNCF, SBB and CFF; and Mistral 56 before "Le Mistral" got its new Mistral 69 cars), blue and cream (Fiat FS cars for interior TEEs, e.g. Ambrosiano, Cycnus, Aurora, Adriatico; but also Rheingold 1962 blue and cream cars before being repainted red/cream); grey/red/orange for "grand confort" SNCF cars (Etendard, Aquitaine, Le Capitole, Stanislas, Kléber, Jules Verne); FS ETR 300 green and grey, used on the TEE Settebello; Talgo cars (inox/red) used on the TEE Catalan Talgo; yellow/white DB ETR 403 (Lufthansa train, labeled "TEE" on the charts and numbered TEE61 to 68.) I have not included in this list the materials that were used in 1957 while still waiting for the TEE trains, e.g. DB VT08.) To add to Mike's liste: not in TEE colors, but pulled TEE trains and produced by M: NS BB 1100 (Marklin 3013, 37241, 37243, etc.), NS CC 1200 (M 3051/3055 + more recent versions), SNCB BB 1600 (M 3152 (Parsifal, Diamant, Oiseau bleu) and 3163 (TEE Diamant)), DSB CC My1000 in original and red/black liveries (M 3067 and all others after) for TEE Merkur in Denmark, OBB BB 1040 (M 3036) for TEE Blauer Enzian), CFF BB Re4/4 IV (M 3323, 3330, 3430, 3630*) for TEE Cisalpin, DB BB 181 in dark blue livery for TEE Goethe (I believe was produced by M, don't know the number), DB BB V200 (TEE Rheingold before section Emmerich-Arnhem(?) was electrified), DB BB 221 (TEE Merkur), SNCF BB 15000 (TEEs Stanislas and Kléber), SNCF BB 7200 (M 3325/3625) for TEE Ligure between Avignon and Marseille. Note that the SNCF BB 22200 used for the Cisalpin (last period), Catalan Talgo and Jules Verne were still in their first version, not the version produced by M. I have never seen a photo of a TEE pulled by a DB BB 120. I have excluded from this list locs that were used exceptionally. * For the Re 4/4 IV, I have seen photos of the Cisalpin pulled by the M 3330 and 3430 livery, but not by the 3630 livery. I also want to share with you this very nice page on TEEs I recently found (I am not the autor!): http://www.drehscheibe-foren.de/foren/read.php?17,3346414Cheers, Ricky
