Strange that they use a bad 3D printed model for marketing material Confused

Still surprised it uses old pantographs, even the plows look too rough Huh

Who is that?
Marklin often use 3D printed items for brochure photos. Hence the rider that often exists in both the brochure and their videos "The image shows the first model as a rendering" or something similar often mentioning "handmade prototype".

I remember an NI from some years ago (about 10-12 years IIRC) where there was an American F7 diesel on the front cover and the 'orange peel' finish of the 3D printing was quite obvious, even after it had the paint livery applied.

I think it is a 3D rendering as the pantograph doesn't line up with the catenary. Texture has been accidentally turned off for the bogies. These things easily happen when you have numerous object layers in 3D.
