I start this list with my first proposal for the

“SNCF 241 P 17”

and refer to my post #246 in the thread “Maerklin new items 2017. See here please:

https://www.marklin-user...017-New-Items#post551334

Beyer Garrett locomotives were used around the world on different gauges. I would love to see Marklin make a standard gauge version of one of these impressive locos.

There are more millionaires (with children) living in India than any other country.

If I was in the marketing department at Marklin, I would be pursuing this market with everything.
Now the Indians for a long time used British built steamers, but lately have taken on German built trains and technology.

And just to add fuel to this fire, what about China?
Apperently they have gone mad over the German Storck made Knopper wafer chocolates.
Which also happen to be a favourtie of mine.
There are probably a few millionaires live there too now.

Please list all the names from these locos here.

What do you think about Australian locos?

I have to add another one: the LENR Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman

https://en.wikipedia.org..._A3_4472_Flying_Scotsman

I am sure there was a similar thread to this a couple of years ago with some wonderful suggestions. As well as the Beyer Garrett I would like to see;


Anything from Trix Fine Art range in a more affordable model especially KPEV class EG507 and T18 steam loco and BR T16, and DRG H45 Turbine Steam Locomotive, and E Lok ES 6 Halle der K.P.E.V.

A proper version of the ICE 2 with up to date electronics and sound

Diesel version of ICE

Retooling and update of Berlin S-Bahn (the tin plate version was for me nasty)

Re-issue of the TEE Ram with full sound, lights and world of operation decoder

Diesel railcar VT 137 "Stettin"

Diesel Railcar BR 650

Any big steam loco modified for WWII (I know this is against M policy but we can dream)

East Germany's Open Cast Mine Crocodiles (not sure of model number)

BR103 in Touristik livery and/or Rail Adventure livery

BR103 in Rhiengold livery like the one in Nuremberg DB Museum

E95

Class 33 electric

BR 181.2

Voith Gravita 15 (Class 265?)

Voith Maxima

V320

Class 66 Diesel

Class 77 Diesel

VT11 in blue and ivory inter city livery

V200 in green Reuschling der Brohltalbahn livery

V270 in construction yellow as part of a railway construction/maintenance set

BR711 Overhead maintenance unit

New tooling S3/6 - BR 18.4

BR98 tank loco

Streamlined BR06

BR 02 steam loco

P4 of the K.P.E.V era

Steam loco BR FC 719

Steam loco S6

Henschel-Zoelly turbine tender T38-3255

Henschel-Schmidt H17-206

Schwarzkopff H02-1001

OBB BR 19.1 steam loco

ÖBB 5145 - Blauer Blitz railcar

OBB Rh 2045 Diesel

OBB Rh 1044 or 1042 or 1142

NS Electrical railcar "Plan V"

NS Bison Railcar

NS Koplopper in KLM livery

First Generation TGV in orange livery

Ae 6/8 BLS

Ae 4/4 BLS

Ae 8/8 BLS

SBB De 4/4

SBB Be 4/6

SBB BDe 4/4

SBB Ae 4/7

SBB GTW 2/6 or GTW 2/8 Thurbo VI

SBB Domino railcar

OBB Railjet set (I know Roco have cornered the market on this livery, but I think M could do a better version ???)

For USA I am sure some modern diesel units would be popular


Would also be great if M made a rack and pinion / cog loco like Fleischmann did in 70's & 80's for steep gradients

and like to see the SEH 800 reissued maybe as a Blue Box 'special' item

Not a loco but would love to see them make TWINDEXX Vario Double Deck coaches as well issued as a set with interior lights conductor couplings etc

If you looking at British locos then it would have to be an all metal body version of the Deltic Diesel



Oh wow I need to go and lie down now

NS series 2200 and 2400,once the backbone of all freighttraffic in The Netherlands.
Marklin to make them full metal with metal handrails along the enginehood.

Series 2400: 130 locomotives built for NS.

Hi Jabez,
Interestingly, the A4 has a German connection.
Nigel Gresley (SNG) who was Chief Mechanical Engineer for the LNER at the time, was well acquanted (maybe even friends) with Richard Wagner, Chief of Design within the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Germany from its inception in 1922 to 1942.
SNG personally travelled to Germany in 1933/34 to inspect developments on the diesel powered fast trains then being built.
As a result he developed the high-speed trains on the LNER in the years 1935-38, such as the Silver Jubilee and the Coronation.

He stayed with steam power using lightweight construction of the trains (like Wagner).
After trials with earlier models of steam (A1, A3) he built the first of the streamlined A4 in 1935, and subsequently 35 in total.

Kimball

Well, yes.

I dare any steam enthusiast to not be moved by this...



and I'm purposely picking out NSW not just because I was born there, but also it is standard-gauge... and that's important to me in the models

In my dream I see a Langer-Heinrich style set, and for some of the other Australian steam in action including Beyer-Garratt and Pacific class:

(Make sure you have the sound turned up...)

Hello Herman,


Thank you for your post which I enjoyed very much (more so with the sound turned up)!
I have never before seen movie image of double-headed Garratts - fantastic.

You may be interested to note that Garratts first appeared in Australia in Tasmania, by commission of the Tasmanian Government, hence my interest in Garratts. I would think I am dreaming to expect Märklin to produce a Garratt Model.

I have posted on this topic previously on the forum, see my post number 15 at : https://www.marklin-user...rum/posts/m463162-Beyer-


Regards,

PJ

Yes please. I did wonder if it might have a special anniversary this year, but it was 1934 it did the first officially recorded 100mph by a steam loco. Prior to that City of Truro is reputed to have done 100mph quite some time earlier, but it wasn't a verified speed attempt.

Looking at the list from the Insider questionaire, I won't be surprised if it is the Vanderbilt for the US market, to complement the Challenger from last year (or was it the year before).

Would love to see the good old F7 in CN colors.

May I put my hand up for a Swedish SJ RA class?

Nice shots of Beyer Garretts. I worked on the Northern Rhodesian, later Zambian, Copperbelt. I knew 'em well. There was a tale that used to go around that steam loco drivers who had been banned for drunkeness in the UK could always get a job again in RSA, and if they blotted their copybook again there they moved on to Rhodesia Railways who would hire them, and the last stop on that road was driving on the Copperbelt mine railroads. True or not, many of the mine engine drivers I knew were lushes, although I am indebted to one of them who sometimes let me take control of the steam loco (not a B-G) running up to the main concentrator from the outlying mine where I was night-shift Mine Captain.
Happy Days

But a guess, Just a dream.

Hi Kimball,

impressive this listing. More as I expected and I am just reading, reading, reading and of course try to find pictures of each loco in the internet – not an easy job. Unfortunately I do not know most of them and unfortunately not for every loco is a picture available. But yes, this summary is going in the direction I was thinking about. Also I think we should evaluate a primary locomotive for each country, especially your country.

E.g. in the US it is very obvious the "Big Boy", in Germany it will be the steamer BR 01 and BR 103, I think (other opinions welcome). But I guess that every country has such popular locomotives. Who knows them?

So we find and define this primary and “first of all” loco for each country. Then define the version of this loco. This impressive collection of locos reveals already the plenty of locos built in various versions, even across country or railway company borders. Out of this massive range of locos we shall find the only one country locomotive, we at marklin-users.net like and want.

But beside the locos we shall define which function should be possible with these locos. After a CS is able to toggle 32 functions, we should define which ones are desirable. E.g. Maerklin has since several decades the Telex coupler. Why only an automatic coupler at the loco and not for each coach? 16 addresses will be good for 8 coaches. The current coupling is already in use. This makes to me more sense instead of getting an announcement like “das Fett brennt” (the fat is burning).

I start less with the propulsion of the engine, I would start more with the most loved, well known, or whatever loco in this country. And of course there could be more than one. Then we have to do a ranking within these country locos.

What do you think about it?

Regards

For those of you wanting a NSW 46 class to run on their Marklin set up, consider the Auscision version. Although it is 2 rail, I found it not difficult to convert to 3 rail operation, I just put a pick up shoe underneath on one of the bogies. Usually with such conversions I also change the wheels to NEM types (bigger flanges) but in this case I did not have any of the right size so stuck with the existing wheels. It runs without any problems on my layout, which is half K track and half C track.
Digital of course.

Seems it is clear that we would like to see a Beyer Garrett model, may I also suggest that the loco be accompanied by a set of transfers reflecting numerous railroads so we can each personalise the loco to our tastes

Hello

We all have many dreams from what we see but I think we have a great candidate and it's the S 3/6 K.bay.Sts.bahn with a completely new tooling
He has just left a major repair at the Bayerische Museum in Nordlingen, will be at IMA Göppingen, is famous and has appeared in many films.

I will prefer the French 241A, but hopefully, in 20 days we will know

Hi

The last news from Göppingen confirm me that Marklin is making a new Tooling of SNCF 241, we don't no if A or P.
They don't confirm is the special loco for now, or it will be on NH2018... but SNCF 241 is on way!!!

Definitely a great idea and something that would be welcome by many people here in France, as I suspect that there will be a 2 rail TRIX version.

As for the DEV Inox, maybe it's time to get the LS Models of pre-TEE days Mistral sets before they're all gone!

Of course if Märklin adds these too...I'm going to be broke again for a while!

See ya next week in Goeppingen!

Moved topic from 'News from Marklin' forum to 'General MRR', as this thread contains anything and everything except actual news from Marklin!

US based diesel engines, japanese high speed trains.
US steam machines like the Allegheny.
