Marklin have already produced a Maus loco a while back to go with the Maus coaches, it was the 37012. Very similar to the newly announced 37111, also a BR110, graphics slightly different plus now has pantographs that can be remotely actuated. Not very common, there is one 37012 currently on German Ebay, a ridiculous asking price of 810 Euros !  Fortunately I already have one. The Marklin coach set was 43969, I also got the Trix one, 23486, so I have a six coach Maus train. Norm in Oz.

Hopefully, that is only an error, and it will be available as a spare part, on the web page. I'm interested in the locomotive, but since it is in cooperation with BLI I will hold back a bit and wait for some reviews/feedback before i make the final desition. And if the motor is not available as a spare part, then I will have to think a bit harder.... Another interesting thing is that it seems to have only one axle with traction tires, but then all axles are powered by the cardan shaft, so it will be interesting to see how much it can actually pull. The 360mm "restriction" notice in the manual is also disappointing, especially since they only write "Minimum radius for operation 360 mm" on the product page.

Yes, I was envisioning running it on a set of M-Track industrial curves (5120?) as a separate line on a layout. I guess there are limitations in how rugged they can make the drive mechanism and still have sliding joints as the bogies turn.

Just speculating, but it maybe a more delicate locomotive than usual. I will watch videos about it when they are in Youtube and after I will decide. I like the colors and shape of boiler more than I expected and looking at the cylinders side it is an interesting locomotive. The use of the narrow Seuthe smoke generator is a minus for me.

It's a unique model. For the price it should have included a smoke unit.

Marklin has released a new teaser picture of the upcoming AC/DC locomotive The design is finalised and the release date is set to April 10 2025 at 3 pm.  In this picture, it seems like they might have modified a flying Scotsman? or?

Yeah, just in time for the Dortmund show. The loco looks more like an American one to me, with that single headlight and cowcatcher.

It also kind of makes some sense, since the Flying Scotsman has been to Australia..... Imagine the 39968 with a cowcatcher, a new boiler end cap with light, a single chimney and a modified walkway etc to make it more similar to the AC/DC stage prop Rock 'N Roll Train.Similarities: cylinders, forward-facing steam "blast pipes" below the cylinder, boiler handrails, part of the front frame, running gears etc   but I could also be wrong..... perhaps it will be launched with some freight cars loaded with a hell bell and band equipment?

Well, the letter that came out mentioned a bunch of the most popular things people liked about the band, and it seems there will be some accompanying wagons with suitable symbology. Only a couple of weeks to find out what the story is.

A Ce 6/8 Porsche 911 edition, might be coming in a special Porsche trainset, as product number 26911.
The locomotive will likely have 14911 as the running number.
It is also labelled HPP so it might be something special for the Hans-Peter Porsche Traumwerk and the 10-year anniversary?

Where are you finding the information about this set? There is no info I can find on the HPP web site about either this set, or the two coach sets shown in the Marklin Magazine issue 02/2025.

Well, I am most disappointed there has been no Summer New Items brochure.
Traditionally this brochure has been released at the Dortmund Messe, but Marklin appear to have limited themselves to the AC/DC items and the G1 Eidelweiss set - for which one will need to have really deep pockets, at well into 4k euro for the loco, nearly 12k euro for the 6 coach set, and nearly 3k euro for an additional coach - and that is if you order before July 1st, after that they all go up a significant percentage in cost.

With the prices of the new items, I really don't care about new items, and so a new items brochure. This feeling has been growing in me for the last 2 or 3 years and I am less interested. |

Something I'm mildly grumpy about is - 46719, "Digital Crane". And mostly I'm grumpy because it's a 3-rail only model.
I think its' probably a result of the complexity of making a DCC control system for something like this rather than an own-brand one where they can control the interface as well as the decoder. But still; it means the difference between the cheapest marklin digitally-controlled crane and the cheapest Trix one is 650eur.

There was also the 46716 done in the Fire Train red to go with the Fire Train starter set. you also have the 46717 and 46718. I believe they all have the same construction and a decoder that only supports MM. The flat car is permanently connected and has the pickup shoe. The main change with the new one is that the pickup shoe is now located under the crane, and the decoder supports DCC, mfx and MM. so the connection to the flat car is not permanent any longer. Hopefully, the reliability of the piezo drives/motors will also be improved in the new 46719in the 46719 manual Märklin lists DC wheels as spare parts, so perhaps a Trix version will come?

I admit to being a little sus about the DCC claim - none of the previous versions supported DCC, and though the manual also gives the DCC address of 03; there's no documentation of what functions control it in DCC mode. Given that it's not out yet, it could as easily be a "forgot to remove that on the template". No-one is infallible, even though we're talking about Marklin rather than Hornby. On the other hand, I guess this gives me the easy out of returning it if I buy one and it doesn't support DCC. Quote:

Honest answer - I don't know, I haven't tried it yet! But if it would be a trivial fix, why wouldn't they also release it as a TRIX model out of the gate? They don't normally seem to wait (looking at Scotsman, Black Ice as examples). A DCC controlled crane for 1/5 the price of the nearest competitor from Roco*, able to be used on any normal track from any brand - surely that would be a big seller? Quote:

Stop tempting me to buy an expensive model and mod it!  Best, Gray. * Feel I should note - I understand this is a much, much more basic model than the 700eur Roco or the 1000eur TRIX - but my point is it's a much more approachable entry point to being able to do cool stuff like you show in your video. At under 200eur; one could get a pair of them and still have 340eur "change" to buy a loco to pull them with.

Märklin has been doing this for YEARS The user's manual is here https://static.maerklin....3cb36654631741585203.pdfOn page 23 it clearlky states that you can control the speed and direction of ANY of the THREE motors (rotation, angle of the boam, hook up & down. Your risk is NOT not to have it work but rather to take too much time before decidingWhy not released in 2 rails by Trix? Not sure BUT Märklin still sells the DC wheelsets for the crane and I am almost sure there is a slider-replacement to puck on isolated wheels I use Märklin since 1961 and it almost NEVER FAILED ME over 100 locos, digital cranes, etc Cheers Jean |

Yes. And unless I'm missing something that you are seeing, it shows you how to do this only with Marklin MFX controllers, it does not provide DCC function lists anywhere. If you compare with say ... the Flying Scotsman manual - pages 19 and 20? But I'm glad to hear your vote of confidence in Marklin's infallibility. That's encouraging! I'll definitely keep my eye out when they hit retail. Quote:

Eh. There's multiple examples of the previous versions on eBay right now. Everything comes round again; and missing this would not be the end of my world, as much as I'd love one. But we shall be optimistic!

Why do you expect the function numbers to change between the two protocols? F7 in one protocol doesn't suddenly become F2 in the other, that becomes absurd.

I've sent an email to Marklin to get confirmation about how the DCC controls work. Because F1 on one Marklin controller is F5 on another, according to the manual. Hopefully they can settle this for me conclusively. :)

I've sent an email to Marklin to get confirmation about how the DCC controls work. Because F1 on one Marklin controller is F5 on another, according to the manual. Hopefully they can settle this for me conclusively. :) if you are looking at the column for an ms1 (60651/2) then forget it - that controller is limited in how it can display the icons, so controls get rearranged willy-nilly because of this. Also that controller cannot do DCC, so it is not in your orbit anyway. The picture that Johnjean refers to gives you all the information you need to operate the crane. All the controllers apart from the ms1 use the same function numbers for the same operation. There is no swapping of functions between function numbers.

And it is no good posting links to a private facebook page when there are a significant number of members who don't use facebook, let alone have the details to log in to a private page.

Oh, they just worked for me, but I haven't flushed the cache, so they may still be cached. I suspect they may have been taken down as I suspect they shouldn't have been announced yet until the summer NI comes out. Pictures attached.

I think this is standard across the industry, I have a few non-Marklin items that have been on order since 2023 and 2024. I would prefer the items are late than they cut corners and deliver a sub-standard product. |
Don't look back, your not heading that way. |
