Sweden Rc6 in SSRT-livery. It would perfectly match with HNOLL’s passenger and sleeping coaches. www.hnoll.seRc4 or Rd2 in green and red Green-Cargo-livery. Swedish Tb (If I can dream!) |

Swedish Tb (If I can dream!) Good wishes! The SSRT 37411 deserves a new update with the new moulds. But I'd also wish Märklin produced new Swedish cars to pull behind their RC locos. I have an the Swedish passenger cars since they started producing 4377 although I'm missing the alternate version of 4377. They are a little bit boring now and don't fit with newer eras. |

I would go for a BR89 (old 3000) Lok reissued with telex. After all a shunter should have telex. Peter.

Purely speculative and with no intent. Away back in the early 1960s, Tri-ang (the British model company) produced one of their all-time great models, the Class L1 as shown below. .jpg) These were used by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway prior to 1920. An earlier L class had been delivered and ....... wait for it, half of those machines were manufactured by Borsig in Berlin. The other half of the class were built by Beyer Peacock in Manchester. The delivery of the Borsig locos coincided with the start of WW1 - the SECR, true to their word, paid for the locos when the war was over. Here is the L class in model form.  This machine is quite like (except for outside cylinders) the first 3 pictures shown by Marklineisenbahn. It would go well with the HO scale Fleischmann green Southern coaches also made in the 1960s/70s and any other British coaches of a period back into the 1920s. And Märklin might be able to use the mechanism and chassis for a German loco at the same time. One of those shown above or even the DRG class 13 shown here on my layout (Fleischmann model #1113 for AC digital).  Kimball |
HO Scale - Märklin (ep II-III and VI, C Track, digital) - 2 rail HO (Queensland Australia, UK, USA) - 3 rail OO (English Hornby Dublo) - old clockwork O gauge - Live Steam 90mm (3.1/2 inch) gauge. |

Would you want the original BLS logo or the BLS RM "Omega" Logo? Would you want one of the first batch with two Swiss pantographs (465-001-008) or the second batch with one pantograph for the German (ROLA) traffic (465 009-018)? Regards Mike C

Regards, Marklineisenbahn As I am an old Dutchman longing for the smell of steam and coal I have decided to concentrate on the early years of transportation by steam locomotives. However, unless my eyes deceive me, I am struggling to find locomotives from 1860-1940 that the various Dutch railways have purchased from say England like the 1738. But also this lok build by Beyer Peacock, works number 2101 Class 475 NS 1326 1B with tender would be most desirable, among many others. In 3-rail ac please 🙏 Cor

It'll never happen but I'd like to see the NS1500 class - the old EM2 Woodhead locos.
It would have to be in their Legacy series with the old DCM or FCM motor and chassis. That way it would compliment their NS1100, NS1200, NS1600 and NS1700. No sound or any of that stuff just a basic decoder so it runs nicely in analogue.
They could even do it in the original Black BR livery as well as the NS livery but that would probably be asking a bit too much.
Sensible price too obviously - after all it would be a very basic loco. |
Marklin HO using M track. Now reverted to analogue as I find it has more character and is more fun...... and I understand it! |

Regards, Marklineisenbahn I wouldn't mind some British locos, the quality of what is on the market is not for me and HO instead 00 would be nice. A Merchant class is needed in my collection but an A4 or a Coronation would be welcome too, and passenger coaches. I can see there would be no end to the variations of the Flying Scotsman. I would also like some French or Italian engines that have not been done yet.

BR01 with witte deflectors and open frame, ep IIIa ie. BR01 241, converted from the former 02 004 (RAW Meiningen, acceptance date 15.11.1942) as shown in this picture from 1949 The 01 241, converted from the former 02 004 (RAW Meiningen, acceptance date 15.11.1942), rolls downhill in front of D 503 in the curve near Hain in the Spessart, which was still completely devoid of vegetation at the time. (09/24/1949) Photo: Carl Bellingrodtedit: though to be honest I actually want Brawa or Roco to make this model with their tender drive, since the Marklin doesn't have enough traction to pull this train around my layout.

Here is what I would like to see for 2025 and beyond...
SBB Re 4/4II First Series (single pantograph). They did it in Z... Why not in HO too?
Fill out the collection in 1:100 and 1:93. I want to see a SBB EWIV AS to complete my SBB Intercities in 1:100. I want to see 1:93 Bm235 and Bvmz185 in Product colours (1980s) to complete my "Tiziano" set. So far, we have seen couchettes of the SBB and SNCB in 1:93. We could use some sleepers of various countries. Should Maerklin bring the SBB and ÖBB EC coaches in 1:93? I would also love to see them bring out a "Nightjet" set. For freight, I would really love to see some Sgnss 60ft cars loaded with 45 foot containers. Most of the other cars are limited to 40ft ones. Maerklin did a few for Holland a decade or so ago (Samskip, Geest, Ferrymasters). It would be nice to have some TRW, AAE and Hupac cars with interesting loads.
I would also love to see a model of the new Flirt and KISS trainsets and would prefer to see them from Maerklin rather than from companies that made earlier versions. These trainsets can be found in Switzerland and all over Europe and the world.
Regards
Mike C

I'd love to see additional deployment of the CIWL coaches from the recent edelweiss set, which feels like a realistic ask for a new/recent tooling. At the same time, I already have an edelweiss so they would need to be an appealing new package.
A fantasy for me would be an SBB Ae 4/7, or even an Ae 3/5, but knowing the flop the Ae 3/6 was (for marklin and for Roco), that seems doubtful.
I'm sure we may see a color variant of the new AE 8/14, but cost keeps me out of that game. Same if they do the cab variant, which roco recently offered anyhow.

Hello John, I know next to nothing about Swiss motive power, but I am intrigued by your post. Two of the Ae 3/6, both in brown ( 37510 and 37515) were purchased some time ago for reasons unknown. I probably assumed they might take over the Rheingold consist from Basel to Zurich around 1937/8. Anyway could you explain the reasons why these models were a flop please? regards Kimball |

As comparison, the train is likely about 250 metres long. Kimball |

Neither sold well, and the models from either brand can be had for as much as a 50% discount at dealers... I think they are both good models, just not a popular prototype. |

I would like a model of the "NPZ" RBDe 560. Nicknamed "Kolibri" (hummingbird) they were painted in many different schemes throughout their working life which is good for Marklin. It's not a one off.

Seeing Marklin finally doing the Flying Scotsman in proper LNER Apple green with and without the smoke deflectors. Maybe a UK style freight loco like 9F Evening Star or a Stainer 8F. A LMS Black Five would be nice to see as well. I think M is missing a bigger market share in the UK and elsewhere not doing more UK stuff. How about a UP DD40ax for the USA market to compliment the Big Boy. That is the diesel that took over for them. Or the Krauss Maffei diesels that ran on the Rio Grand and SP. Those are unique and one is being restored to operation in a museum in the USA, in slightly modified form. |

For me french models would be interesting such as BB 9200 reconstructed to meet latest developments of the technology Class 141F the most evolved series of the 141 class with different chasis and look than the original class 141 Mikado, Class 241P Besides that V320 in orange colouring of the private railway company HEG BR 151 in ocean blue or Locomotion or any other look Bi Level DB Regio (double deckers) as the not anymore available 43567, 43568, 43569 with lighten signs, whire/red lights that change with direction of travel, sitting passengers inside and LED interior lighting FS E.645 Double Italian Eloc Dutsch Koploper capable of connecting two units to create a double unit BR111 in new design made of cast metal BR103 Rail Adventure with LUXON car Taucherbrille Diesseloc T478.1 CSD in new Era VI colouring as 753 ... series and many many more...

BR 628 in Era VI, BR 065 Era IV (without weathering), or the BR 605 (ICE TD).
The first two I may get one, for the third it may come eventually as an insider loco.

I want to see the two trucks mentioned in the article on Logistics in the 2024/06 Marklin Magazine with the Br01 and Crocodile on the sides. I got a photo of the one with the Br01 at the IMA in 2023. Apparently the trucks belong to a logistics company and are dedicated to moving parts, stock molds and anything else required between the factories in Goppingen and Gyor, and the warehouse in Sonneberg
