So I opened another thread for further discussion and perhaps of cars too?  Please refer to https://www.marklin-user...in-the-future#post551343I named it: "New Maerklin special locos in the future - marklin-users.net members define primary (first-class) locos from countries worlwide". And perhaps one of the admins may shift relevant posts to this other, new thread, if possible?

I opened a new wishlist. Open for old and new proposals to Maerklin by Insiders and marklin-users.net members. A list we shall present to the "Mister Maerklins", Sieber senior and junior, the owner of Maerklin. Perhaps at the IMA days in 4 weeks time? Please refer to this topic https://www.marklin-user...cial-locos-in-the-futureand write your opinion for my proposal.

Well, that is the risk.
Imagine you are a German model train builder,
you want to design a new mold for an exotic loco - French railway for example,
you know it will sold 100 times less than a new German loco
you know French people are not mostly in 3Rails that sells here 10 times less than DC - a Trix model will be a basis
imagine in France, a majority of modellers are "rivets-counters" who will impose to correct invisible details (for me) and to re-design the mold again and agaain ...
So Partnership with another model train builder can be sadly a solution.
As you all I would prefer a real Märklin model entirely made of metal, and even not a Trix one with its ugly DC contacts...
if the purpose was to develop French railway offer, in this case, why the 37813 150z has been a one-time serie ?

danmarklinman,relax and take it easy.
I did not attack you personally so there is no reason to shoot the messenger.
On 16th August member Vilithejou reported a possible Marklin surprise which could have a link to a movie.
I was one of the first to suggest it could have to do with the remake of Murder on the Orient Express.
In this movie there will be a French express locomotive.
One important decision within commercial companies is the "make or buy"" decision.
Do we make it ourselves and does it yield a profit if we do so is the question.
If the productioncosts are such that the yield will be minimal or negative,decision could be made to buy it elsewhere,provided that fits into the general sales strategy.
If the sales strategy of Marklin means to get a bigger French marketingshare,they might start producing new French Marklin models.
If the strategy means to just grab a slice of the movie revenues,they might buy the locomotives elsewhere and put the Marklin sticker on,that is what they did with the Harry Potter train.
There is a danger when buying elsewhere in that clients might recognize the true maker and will stop paying premium prices for non-original products.
I am sure the marketing guys and girls from Marklin know this.
i am not an expert of French locomotive types,i just found the Hornby Jouef steamer and reckonned it could be the forthcoming Marklin locomotive,that is all.
Let us wait for the release by Marklin later in the year. |

Joël I do understand all this,of course. But hey,you are in bussiness to do bussiness,right? If Volkswagen would buy Citroen cars and name them Volkswagen,would you call that Volkswagen cars? Marklin is still known for its quality and heavy metal locomotives,if you are going to depart from that and call a Jouef locomotive a Marklin product,i dare to say your company is on the way down. if Marklin wish to penetrate into the French market,or any market for that matter,there will be a need for sound investment in product,not just buying products from others. Because of the very high investment required for new models,the tendency is to produce new versions of earlier releases,look at the Big Boy versions and the various versions for the steamer 01 for example. On this basis i do not expect an entirely new French Marklin model made by Marklin,but i could be wrong. |

Hi NS1200, text can come across in a bad way, and I'm sorry if it has😱No offence was intended. My knowledge of French Railways is good as I have been many times to France, it being, easy and relatively cheap for me to do a day trip of train watching:-)
You may not have seen what cinema goers have seen, my mistake .☺️As I sat down to watch the new Dunkirk film, there was a feature on the making of and interviews with the actors in the new Murder on the Orient express . You might like to know that the SNCF 241a added parts to make it look Turkish? I think. I.e. A star on the smoke box door and a cowcatcher. The loco is definitely a ex sncf 241a 26 EST machine, and Marklin have even put that in there poll?
So maybe your right. The might just produce this type of loco, as it's never been made by any mainstream Manufacturer?
Only Micrometalkit have made it in very limited numbers and at great expense in DC two rail?
So fingers crossed for the very fine looking locomotive:-) |

danmarklinman, No offence taken,life is short,please try and enjoy every day without bitterness. My father passed away on 12th July,aged 83,it made me realise that in life there is no time to waste on negative energy. These SNCF locomotives are entirely new territory to me,i saw a Mistral version,there must have been an Orient Express version,and the Swiss owned machine was used on the Paris to Simplon Express???? And you know how (war) movies are like: nothing compared to reality. I saw many war movies with American tanks converted into German tanks,ordinary planes turned into fighterplanes. The other day i saw a James Bond movie with a Hercules transportplane bearing the Russian Red Star......... So,who knows how the train will look like in the new Murder on the Orient Express? I just have the feeling that Marklin will come up with a French locomotive for the Orient Express coachset they issued earlier. About French railways: these pre WW2 scenes from a French movie show the hard life of a steamloco crew,the loco is not a 241,it is 231: Edited by user 26 August 2017 05:32:18(UTC)

So... gathering all the informations: - Orient express - French version - new version of an earlier release Makes me remind of Primex Orient Express with chocolate SNCF 230F 270 based on old P8 mold... ==> let me bet on a chocolate and sound version of the new P8 mold (as was build the black SNCF 230F 373 #37036)  Best Regards Joël |

This will appeal to the US market (like the Challenger) and I beleive it has more than one livery, and would have a reasonable number of road numbers to provide some production longevity allowing amortisation of the development.

kiwiAlan,
Marklin indicated that the new loco would feature in a movie,hence the link to Murder on the Orient Express.
Is the Vanderbilt also to appear in a movie? |

Don't forget the original Emile Zola novel. It naturally explores in more detail what drives the characters in a sordid drama than is possible in the movie condensation. Although the movie footplate scenes are indeed among the best ever filmed. You can download the book for free from Project Gutenberg, in original French or in English and possibly other translations.

Jabez,agreed of course. A novel can much better tell about personal drives of people. Being on the edge of retirement i might as well have a go at the downloaded book,thank you for that. I am not a fanatic reader (my wife is),i like the visual impact of movies whilst immediately observing the shortcomings of the moviedirectors. Using a Hercules plane with the Russian Red Star in a Bond movie for me means absolute failure. My favorite book,read dozens of times: "Battle Cry" by Leon Uris,about US Marines in the Pacific in WW2,it was his first book,later he wrote "Exodus". Uris was himself a Marine in WW2,the book seems to be some sort of autobio. Dutch title "Gezworen kameraden" ("Sworn Comrades"). https://images.gr-assets...ks/1410141181l/42694.jpghttps://img.2dehands.be/...1-gezworen-kameraden.jpgMy favorite movie,full of human shortcomings and motives,is "The Purple Plain" (not "Plane"!) with Gregory Peck,great music too. Cheers, Paul. Edited by user 27 August 2017 12:44:29(UTC)

The movie was made in 1938,nowadays we are invited to murder prior to the 8 oclock news,at least in Holland.
Hello Paul, I have watched the movie on my computer, but please don't tell the Australian Censor. We have fairly strict censorship here in Australia. The ban on "The Human Beast" was made back in 1938 to protect the morals of the innocent people of Australia. We all knew that the French were immoral (...the Can-can, public displays of affection etc etc), and this movie was even worse. The Australian Censor has not got around to updating that, and probably does not want to. Australia was an "innocent" country prior to WWII. We were all in bed by 22:30, and up at 6:00 - yes we had radio, very few people owned cars, we all worked 40 hour weeks, shops were closed on Saturday and Sunday, and we all went to church at least on Sunday. Men and women both wore hats out of doors. Hotels opened at 10:00 and closed at 18:00, and alcohol was prohibited to those under 21. Night life was limited to a weekly dance in the local community hall, oor a movie at a cinema. Until we saw many migrants from Europe in the post 1946 era, Australia had a very singular population of Anglo-whites. We had a White Australia policy, where no person other than from a white European background, could emigrate here. And even then we filtered out undesirables by having a language test, which was set for you to fail if the authorities wanted you too fail. I see it through child-like eyes where much is filtered out. The history is likely far more complex. Kimball Edited by user 28 August 2017 00:46:39(UTC)

Kimball, Living on an innocent island has its merrits,surely,not all is bad. Prior to WW2 The Netherlands were innocent too,what wrong could ever happen to us? Today we are very liberated and open minded,that is to say on the outside. On the inside many unwritten laws do still play their role,laws which have been given to you by your parents. Most still believe in "law and order",including me! Violence on TV has become the trend,which does not mean to say that most people approve that. Sex on TV is no longer interesting,we have had our sexual revolution a long time ago,we just needed some "ice-breaking" events to get there. On 9th October (my birthday!) 1967 we had our first naked woman on TV,questions were asked in parliament! The movie "Turks Fruit" ("Turkish Delight") in 1973 had some explicit scenes,made after the book by our famous writer Jan Wolkers,almost everything written by him i can highly recommend,he dared to write what others only dreamed in their darkest corners of the mind. The TV series "De Stille Kracht" ("The Silent Force") in 1974 was about mysterious powers in Indonesia with well known actress Pleuni Touw showing her breasts. This is all over 40 years ago! We are still hard working and well educated,perhaps the Americans think otherwise,only seeing a small part of Amsterdam........... Paul. Edited by user 27 August 2017 19:47:33(UTC)

Is there anything from the fall 2017 new items that is going on your wishlist? There wasn't anything I "had to have" so I think I'll go ahead and order the 26604 set.

Some good stuff. I already have 26607. It uses Trix lighting kits. Love the Museum Lok. And one of a series!  The Euro Express train is very striking. |

David Oh I really like the V140 diesel hydraulic 37212, a historic machine. If I get it, that would make my third diesel: 1. V200 2. DSB Nohab 3. V 140. I dont really like diesels, but I have to salute the icons. Kimball |

Kimball Be carefull... is the first one of serie of 5!!!! like Carl Berllingrodt, or Borsig edition Hi Joan, Hmm......my purchase history is rather spotty anyway. I have one Carl Berllingrodt edition (37054) and none of the Borsig edition. The MHI Museum editions will have to be in my spotlight..... perhaps the E19 in red..... and the question has to be asked, will they be limited to museums within Germany? What about the museum at Mulhouse (France), or the museum at Odense (Denmark), or the museums in Holland or Switzerland? Is there a museum in Italy, Sweden, or in Spain/Portugal? Just asking :-).

The V140 is interesting, especially in the blue colour as we more commonly see it in red.
I'll wait to see what the price is like. |

Hmm, effectively four parts to the 'Train stories 5', a loco (€220), a coach with sounds (€190), a two car set (€150) and a three car set (€240), all in a fictitious livery. This seems to be milking the 'train stories' series rather heavily at €800.
The only Christmas Loco is in G1.
The S2/6 in black didn't seem to sell well, and some dealers had been offering it with coaches to try and quit the unsold stock, now we have another black one ...
Another set of three wagons in yellow with writing on them, how well did last years set sell for? These seem to me to be the sort of wagons to do as individual items, as there must be a limited number ways to run these on a model layout.
Maybe I'll get the Train Stories individual sound coach so I have the 'special' coach, but not the rest, and the Christmas wagon, that is about all to interest me in there I think.

Interesting to me as its at the start of my era of modeling, the early 1970's older livery passenger cars in cobalt blue and chrome-dioxide green color schemes to build a 70's era passenger train. |
