You never know, I reckon that some exotic locos would sell in Europe, because they are a change and a different style  ... they say they love Australia! |

The Shinkansen is a big name loc though, so just maybe.....
I know that I would buy it, but do agree the market is hard enough to gauge that M unlikely to go beyond Europe and few notable USA models.

I would like to see a double sleek turnout (C-track) and sleeker turnouts but someone has recommended Piko turnouts and converting them to 3 rail.
E 63 all in metal with telex, the only loco which hasn't been re-constructed since its first appearance.
SBB C 5/6 (Elephant) with smokegenerator, BR 96 with smokegenerator, BR 81 with smokegenerator, BR 80 with smokegenerator (its possible, I've done it),
BR 191 (BR 91) get rid of the pathetic 2 rubber tyres.

Some Russian steam locos it's a pipe dream but they did make the SASPAN right?

Forget wireless controllers. I want wireless LOCOS! Let them get the electricity from the rail, as always, but let´s have the data comunication wireless! ;-)
Anyway; they should make the missing C-track parts already; Slim DKW and flexible track.
And more seriously; I wish they would make all new locos work better in analog operation; That means; longer run-off times and excellent slow running at low voltage.
The last new locos I bought was the V80 and the E150; Especially the E150 is no good in analog! |

My fairly realistic request- some Italian trains. I realize a new tooling is too much to ask, but some of the following would be nice: - UIC Coaches (which Marklin already makes) in the Rosso Fegato or Grey livery (Rosso would be much better!) - Some freight sets with older 2 axle or modern 4 axles cars. Again, Marklin owns many toolings that could work for this - Eurofima Coaches in earlier FS liveries (they have done the turquoise/white, but I believe the older orange/brown to match the 37240 loco hasn't) A bit more of a pipe dream: - Kof in the private Italian Railway museum livery (orange, with "46" MotoGP numbering  ) I think its jsut wishful thinking for now though- Roco AC versions for me are all I anticipate... |

Here is what I would like to see Maerklin produce in 2013:
AC versions of the Trix Traxx (22631, etc). The first models could be the Swiss Re 484 and the various BR 186 (Crossrail, Railpool, etc). It does not bother me that the housing is plastic.
AC version of the Trix RAm
Model of the SBB Ae 6/6 with the "Falschfahrlicht", the red lamp between the front windows.
Model of the Re 4/4II as a Cargo Re 420 (with normal pantographs and railings)
Model of the Re 4/4I in green with TEE logo with 3 or 4 blue/beige TEE coaches as TEE Rheingold Set I
Model of the Re 4/4I in TEE colours with 3 or 4 red/beige TEE coaches as TEE Rheingold Set II
Model of SBB Re 6/6 in green with round headlights and crest of city of Interlaken
Set of 3 FS Eurofima coaches in the original orange white livery in 1/100
SBB WRm in original red (1/93) to go with my 23414 FS coaches
and my surprise suggestion: SBB EW I coaches in 1/87 to complement the Light Steel coaches brought out a few years back, which could be a BIG winner if Maerklin gets them out before Hag, Hornby or Liliput can get their older models back into stores.
Regards
Mike C

Recently I discovered a small German steamer : the BR 98 8/9 , ex Bay GTL 4/4 ...It has been done in N scale only (Fleischman)....This steamer was quite successful on secondary lines. After WW II many of them were working in the DB untill the sixties.... we can see here : http://www.forum-train.f...d=37001&mode=view/BR 98 905.jpg

Anyway; they should make the missing C-track parts already; Slim DKW and flexible track. I totally agree with the first item but to be realistic, I am not sure if Märklin wants to change the whole concept (again). Both slim DKW and flexible track would be very nice to have but if I would ever build a stationary layout, I would probably go for the K-track anyway since it is more realistic (but I would lack the geometry of the C-track!) and on my floor layouts with my children, noone have really a need for the slim parts. I also saw that mike c mentioned a lot of Swiss stuff. What I would like to see there is a set of Glacier Express Coaches. Really nice looking on any epoch V - VI mountainous layout, imho. /tyrre |
Recently converted from M to C track and from analog to digital locos but still on temporary occasional floor layouts and with many manual turnouts... |

@tyrre The Glacier Express coaches and matching RhB, MGB locomotives are available from German manufacturer Bemo. As you are probably aware, the Glacier Express is a narrow gauge train that runs through some of the most scenic Alpine valleys in Switzerland. Bemo's models are in HOm, which is HO scale with a narrower gauge equivalent to TT scale track. HOe uses a still narrower gauge, basically N scale track for the trains. A nice narrow gauge set up can be mixed with Maerklin on the same layout to create a nice effect. Bemo trains operated using 2 rail DC. Regards Mike C

I REALLY would like Marklin to think hard about the prices of their locos. Paying $300.00 and up plus taxes for a loco is self-destructive. The more expensive their stuff is, the fewer customers they will have.
Marklin should build a series of nice locos that sell for no more than $150.00 each plus taxes. Otherwise, the users will rely more and more on the used market.
If Marklin does not do that, then I think Marklin will not survive, which would be a real pity.

Hello from Toronto.
I look at it this way: One one hand yes, a high price will probably scare off some customers, no doubt about it. But on the other hand, as long as you get quality that is in parity with the price, I for one is willingly paying what M* is asking. I fancy the more pricier items, and choose to buy fewer locos, but get the really goodies. Isn´t there some kind of hobby line ? But how M* prices are compared to other manufacturers I don´t know, do you get more quality contra price if you buy for example Roco ? Regards Henrik

Hi, Henrik! Originally Posted by: Superlampster Isn’t there some kind of hobby line? The hobby line is now called Märklin My World. Other inexpensive locos (TRAXX, Ludmilla, BR 24) are no longer marked as hobby locos. With Märklin, you have to read between the lines: "maintenance-free LEDs" so far means "yellow LEDs". Originally Posted by: Superlampster But how M* prices are compared to other manufacturers I don’t know, do you get more quality contra price if you buy for example Roco? All brands have hobby models and old moulds they sell rather cheap - and new, finely detailed moulds where they sell the locos at high prices. I wish they’d stop using yellow LEDs. I wish the catalogues would clearly describe what you get (full sound or El Cheapo sound module, loco with prototype or fantasy model, correct mould or correct prototype number on a similar mould, ...). I wish the pictures in the catalogue would show the models as they will be shipped. |

Hi Henrik, Tom has answered your questions pretty well. But can I add this comment please? I keep in close touch with the modelling trade for 2 rail, and as far as American prototype modelling is concerned. Marklin prices are not more expensive that equivalent plastic US brands. Considering the quality, yes I would buy the Marklin. The plastic equivalents may have more details (eg. the F7 diesel), but it is not something that most people would pick out from a distance (1 metre). regards Kimball |

I would like to see some additional Era I and II locos from other countries.
A PRR or Baldwin K5. (USA)
A NZR Class Q, the first true Pacific. (NZ)
A Canadian G3c Class.
A Princess Royal Class LMS (UK)
I understand the economics involved of producing steam locos with limited potential buyers, but this is a fantasy right?

1) I would like to see Marklin stop making wagons with length less than 28,2mm. They look very small.
2) More TGV models and generally more SNCF models.
and 3) more detailed models. For example Locomotive with driver and cabin lights and wagons with passengers and more detailed like LS Models wagons.

I presume you mean 282 mm. Some 27 cm coaches (and even shorter ones) are 1:87 - and Märklin should not make them longer. If people stop buying them, Märklin will stop making them. IMHO it's OK to have those short coaches in the "my world" range. They didn't make many 282 mm coaches for eras V and VI anyway. I'd prefer to see more 1:87 coaches from them. |

Hello All: I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but if it has, I'll just restate it... The BR 10 (original Black version) with the newer decoder, fully functional and, if it was a copyright infringement... the same smoke set-up that ROCO has in it's "Dynamic Smoke" edition. If this were possible, then I think I could truly say... my collection would be complete Regards James B |

A littera Kö/Udg /Fkkpp for the Swedish (and maybe Danish and Norwegian market). This wagon has been on the tracks for 50 years and are still rolling! Makes a great item for almost every epoch.
Since its very short its attractive to make long trains or it coult fit even on a small layout.
Its an open or closed grain, chalk, hopper-wagon, self-unloading.
Expand the C-track-programme.
Wide curved turnouts, wide DKW, 24903 (3 degree R9), a short straight 24033, approx 33 mm long. Medium radius turnouts, R3 turn-out in 18 degrees would be nice.
Swedish locomotive Tb, digital with snowplows and TURNTABLE under the loco! |

Deliveries.
I have had a half dozen 60944 LFCM conversion kits on order since March.
They have been in Europe now for 4-6 weeks.
Where are they? |
Matt
Era 3
DB lokos, coaches and freight cars from across Europe
But I do have the obligatory (six) SBB Krocs
ECoS 50200, all FX and MFX decoders replaced with ESU V4s, operated in DCC-RailCom+ with ABC brake control.
With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397. |

AC version of the Trix RAm
Model of the SBB Ae 6/6 with the "Falschfahrlicht", the red lamp between the front windows.
Model of the Re 4/4II as a Cargo Re 420 (with normal pantographs and railings)
Model of the Re 4/4I in green with TEE logo with 3 or 4 blue/beige TEE coaches as TEE Rheingold Set I
Model of the Re 4/4I in TEE colours with 3 or 4 red/beige TEE coaches as TEE Rheingold Set II
Model of SBB Re 6/6 in green with round headlights and crest of city of Interlaken
Set of 3 FS Eurofima coaches in the original orange white livery in 1/100
SBB WRm in original red (1/93) to go with my 23414 FS coaches
and my surprise suggestion: SBB EW I coaches in 1/87 to complement the Light Steel coaches brought out a few years back, which could be a BIG winner if Maerklin gets them out before Hag, Hornby or Liliput can get their older models back into stores.

Hi Mike, That is what I would like to see Märklin produce too. It seems likely that they will have the intention of producing the variants you mentioned some day in the future. The already available models could be modified at minimal costs. A model of the Re 4/4 II with air-conditioning and a model of the Re 4/4 III would also be nice, especially so now that RoCo is about to deliver their new models of the Re 4/4. A more technically advanced motor than the old 5-pole drum collector motor would also be nice. It is fully understandable why Märklin abandoned the C-sinus motor concept since it is too expensive and the qualities of the engine were not directly apparent in the DC world. But there are IMHO good alternatives like a Faulhaber motor. |
Kind regards,
Guus |

I'd like to see a new version of my favourite 3029 steamer
- in the hobby program (~70Euros)
- with a full metal body and not a lot of falling details
- with more detailed and realistics rods
- in a french-ised dark color
I don't ask more...
Regards
Joël

Mmmmmm today I would like Marklin to make;
My wish list is all about rolling stock..............
a) A wider selection of coaches, the selection is too narrow.
b) A wider selection of tank cars as the selection is too narrow, especially some chemical cars.
c) Bring back the heavy oil tank car with new tooling
d) A wider selection of grain carriers maybe even some DB ones
e) A set for rail maintenance (proper set not just kids set like previous) or a selection of rail maintenance vehicles
f) Generally wider selection of unusual wagons or loads / rolling stock in general
g) Some more interesting limited edition sets
h) A modern version of Orient Express
i) Austrian Railjet set
j) A MAK in DB colours or German privateer
k) A new tooling BR01 to keep the steamers happy

Can I add the following to my list;
a) A carriage set detailing a typical night train.
b) A carriage set that details a typical 1980's or 1990's cross Europe night-train which used to have carriages from everywhere.
I remember InterRailing in the 80's and waking up on a night train in Venice which had originated from Munich, and the make-up included carriages from; Czech, Holland, Italy, Austria, Germany and Yugoslav Republic. It would be great to see these trains reproduced as special sets, maybe with some weathering as well.
Come on Marklin....................there are some good ideas on this thread..............

OK, it's plastic. If they used CAD/CAM for the Trix plastic version, maybe a Märklin metal version will be easily achieved. Time will tell. |
