Does anybody know when Maerklin will release the info on the Fall New Items for 2025?

On the inside back-cover of the 03-2025 Märklin Magazine is a tarpaulin covered model due to be announced.
The model seems to be very long and I cannot guess what it is.

Hi Alan,
Actually I don't know what I am talking about.
I thought I saw it in the 04-2025 English version (which I have thrown away).
Now the German version has arrived, and it is not in there either.

Better term a pyramid scheme, like earlier G 2000 and C66....

Its too much of the same thing on the market and prices higher then Sudexpress

Of course, the model comes with leash lights and motor-driven pantographs maybe impressive?

I already has Green Cargo from "Sudexpress" (there are many out there not sold) and it will be enough that's one thing for sure!

Fall 2025 now online Marklin database.


Please note 2025 Christmas wagon was already in Summer new items.

Nothing was mentioned, so mSD3.5 was born because of Eurodual?

The Christmas wagon has been in the shops for about 6 weeks, at least the H0 one has.

The question is what it had to compromise on, since there’s hardly any memory left.

Märklin is five years late again and it will die out quickly like the G 2000 and C66 too many in circulation.

Yes, then they have time to adjust the price...

The only thing I’m considering buying this year, after looking into it, is the 47431 Laads 800B.

Hello All,

I today attended this event in G¨öpingen. Quite frankly a disappointment. Not to mention the absolute absence of any language besides German. Of course over 90% of attendants are expected to be German, but an occasional wink to us non-German speaking fanatics would have been nice.

The overall opinion of mine is that Marklin and others were only interested in getting rid of excess stocks, not in their new products. A few examples I noticed:

1.- Marklin did not have available a single product announced for September, namely the DHG 500 loko in fictitious V61 DB livery, and sound digital effects. But loads of the same model but in Startup editions.
2.- The Diesel Railcar is only available in blue DB, not in red, and reduced 100 euros. Most certainly not an opportunity for Attendats, but a slow selling version.
3.- Roco had a small stand but only 4 3-Rail models ( 3 Eloks and 1 steam). A ton of other lokos in 2 rails DC. Not the place for that IMHO.
4.- Brawa has some nicely prized lokos but of very few models, obviously also those that are slow selling.
5.- ESU had interesting lokos. Their DHG500 which are top of the line, were out for 200 euros only. But limited to cash only purchases. Really? In 2025? ANd the nearest ATM was in town, so the whole process would have meant more than an hour I would have lost more than an hour bouncing around in a shuttle bus.
6.- Very little in serious second hand options by a few dealers who propose junk at steep prices.

Overall, IMHO, not what a trade fair should bring at all. If I compare it with my visit ti Friedichshaffen for the Ham Radio Fest ( another of my vices), the distance in courting the customer and visitor are very much obvious.

Just my 2 cents

They maybe should have been proactive with a EURO DuFour and not come last?

Something more normal that fits most model railway enthusiast layout.

The broken nose is really difficult for me. It's not a TU or TTU; but Marklin did a TU back in the nineties and it would be very easy for them to make another from this tooling...

Preferably a TTU - the TU can't run by itself anyway. Actually, preferably neither - the last thing my bank balance needs is a TRIX Class 22.
