It is the plating process which is costly because it takes time to set up facilities and run the operation. Kimball

I will anyway pre-order this one for sure. The lok is the same as 37065 but with a little update.. not a new tooling... I was seeing the images in the Märklin product page and the image with a view from the side rear window shows the commands panel in the cab over the firebox, so it really seems they are using the same motor and so just a little update. I am pretty sure this refresh will be new DC motor (not the old DCM) with the capacitor, otherwise they would not be able to have the open cab view.

"Controlled high-performance drive with flywheel in the boiler." This is not the description of an old DCM. Let's wait the "explosion sheet" appear to lift all doubts

I see that Brawa has several of the era 1/2 low flat cars with loads that I like. I like the brawa 1/2 early stuff since I prefer that era. Ajdkids.com in the USA is my preferred dealer, even with them a long time. Guy and the crew are great

Thats the second time in recent memory (SBB Ae 3/6I, which Roco have had on fire sale to clear out inventory of for a good year now) - can't be good for both firms unless there is some kind of behind the scenes cooperation? On an unrelated note, what a fun and interesting prototype. Not my thing but I really enjoy looking at it and learning about it.

Joined: 26/01/2010(UTC) Posts: 32 Location: Norway		It sure was exciting to watch the YouTube presentation from Märklin of New Items 2026. I have also looked through the PDF of the catalogue. Unfortunately there is not a single Norwegian or Swedish model. No US boxcars for the Big Boys. No Spur 1 items I want. I could have bought item 43886 if only it was 1:87 in length scale, as I only by true 1:87 models. I think this will be the first year since 1995 that I won't buy a single item. Strange feeling. A little sad too.

Joined: 26/03/2019(UTC) Posts: 898 Location: Florida Classic but Successful Swampland City		There is the possibility/probability that the Roco version of the Czech 477 is one of the prototype versions without the side saddle tanks. MäTrix appears to have the saddle tank version, so one could conceivably buy both and have a full complement in the Bw. btw, a company MTB is also doing a 477... https://mtb-model.com/index.php?...p;lang=de&meritko=H0 Or buy all three for the "Three-Peat" Edited by user 13 January 2026 15:11:29(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

Joined: 13/02/2008(UTC) Posts: 827		I've only 2 new items on pre-order. Märklin 39400 Big Boy. This is gonna be my 9th Märklin Big Boy. I only miss 37992 which is the same as 37991 but weathered. Märklin 38444 ES44AC. As I'm collecting american Märklin models this was a must. I must say that the colors looks ugly but maybe I like the colors when I have it in hand. It fits my wallet much better. I really like the TEE car 43866 with a moving conductor as I've started collecting cars for my 39153 and also the slag cars 46146 for my blast furnace as I only have one slag car. I'm considering ordering them too. I have a tighter budget as I'll probably start studying in a year's time. Also I'm building my layout. Also Resident Evil Requiem and Re-Animal are gonna be released on Playstation 5 and also I'd like to buy Transformers Omega Supreme and Trypticon...I need to stop having several super expensive hobbies.

It doesn't go as far as being "pretty", but I wouldn't class it as ugly.

There is no sign of this on their webpage: https://www.roco.cc/ren/roco-news.html I guess this is where it will show up? Hoping for some nice Scandinavian models. My top three wishes: 1) Swedish Rc 6 in blue livery with red stripe, one-leg pantos and a yellow signal-light on the sidewalls: https://www.jarnvag.net/...ide/Rc61370Malmo2005.jpg 2) Swedish Rc2, former ÖBB 1043, in silver livery with red stripes and one-leg pantos: https://www.jarnvag.net/...istinehamn180205stor.jpg 3) A set of Lgns waggons for timer transport (like Märklin 47067). Can easily be changed to represent different companies, Hectorrail, TÅGAB etc.)

The only rumour I heard is a possible reissue of the Roco SBB RABDe 500, as Roco have released a post observing that this model is hugely popular, and they did not make enough and that second hand versions sell for double the original price. I think they intend to tap into that demand and why not. I saw that Roco post about the ICN. I don't exactly know what the reason for that post was. I do know that it was reported from a number of sources that the molds for the RABDe 500 (ICN) were lost/damaged and that a new model would require the development of new molds to be able to issue a new version. Since the original pair of models, there remains a possibility that Roco could release a model in the liveries that were introduced since then. I would also welcome a model of the prototype with the Expo 02 markings. What I would definitely hope for is that Roco would ensure that any new model would include better and brighter lights than the headlights/hi-beams of the original model. As Roco has announced it is making a model of the Stadler Railjet trains, it would be nice if they could also make the RABe 512 of the SBB. Here is what I am expecting to see in 2026: Maerklin/Trix: SBB Cargo Vectron X-Load Maerklin/Trix/Piko: RABe 501 (SMILE) of Westbahn Maerklin/Trix: Siemens HC ODEG (Elbe-Spree) Other thoughts: 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Seetal Crocodile. Maerklin/Trix might commemorate this with a special model (Zinkpest not included) It is also the 100th anniversary of the DB BR44 Steam locomotive Hoping to see: BLS MIKA, SOB Treno Gottardo Regards Mike C Mike Now we know it is being reissued and so very happy. In fact a nice selection from Roco so it will be an expensive year

For me, there was only one model this year: item 6600311. And the releasedate in a whole year ahead (Q4-26). And not a single Märklin-item this year either. I will save so much money this year

Joined: 06/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 617 Location: Athens,		Hi everybody, For me M and Roco have done a good job this year too. For M, having one of the best catalogues last year it was more or less expected that this year's catalogue would not be as impressive, although there are many new constructions and ofcourse the class 477 Parrot, the DSB MZ, the french CC65000, the Eurodual, the TGV Oui Euroduplex and the class 80 with buffer capacitor, telex, smoke and sound is a must for me. Even the fact that now most of the new locs are equipped with a buffer capacitor is enough reason to consider acquiring a loc that I have already in collection (i.e. railbus which is sometimes susceptible to track current shortouts). But Roco has done also a fantastic job this year with so many locs for almost every taste. To my taste best selections for this year from Roco's program would be the new BR217, the COOP train with the Vectron, the new ÖBB 2143, the new BR290, the Warsteiner Train and the E-Lok 4620 NRFAB of Sweden. Expensive year. I only hope that the MRR companies retain their strength and viability within these difficult times.

Joined: 05/12/2004(UTC) Posts: 3,050 Location: CA, USA		I thought both catalogues were great! Roco gets bonus points for the extra context and prototype stories/information, which is really interesting. (BR86 even gave me a geography lesson!) They get a demerit for multi-page glorifications of railroad designers though. That was a bit dramatic... I have an affordability issue at the moment, primarily tariff-based, but I'll be ordering a few treasures from both once available. I still can't get into the swing of preordering anything with nebulous delivery dates...

Perhaps the CR4ywe-30 will have the correct interior this time though.

They don't mention any modernisations of the mould, do they?

Joined: 10/04/2025(UTC) Posts: 113 Location: UK		Originally Posted by: kiwiAlan Hornby International 2026 NI (Rivarossi, Jouef, Lima, Electrotren). 80 Years of Lima, 75 Years of Electrotren, 2025 was 80 years of Rivarossi, so has some interesting looking bits from old staff members. Mixed bag from Hornby this year. There's some really cool stuff in the pipeline: * Jouef has the first TGV-R model I can recall in two liveries. It looks fantastic * Rivarossi has the Fiat 500 with a machine gun emplacement. I really, really want one of these just for how silly it is. I love it. * Hornby has their version of the "myWorld Farm Set" - a Playtrains tender engine with steam generator, as a new tooled model of a GWR Hall class (so they can also make a Harry Potter version) that will sell solo for £45. Absolutely coolest product from any of Hornby's brands this year - and I love that they're releasing a "realistic" (and Rowling-unencumbered) livery too. But there's also been some big disappointments. After they announced a new NEM train set last year (now due spring 2026) I thought we would finally be turning a corner on Hornby train sets. But no, another crappy re-release of 1980's tat with welded-on worthless couplings and no digital support - but now it comes with Hornby's worst station model, which dates from the 1960's! Waou! The re-release of the old operating post coach also has the old D-Ring bogies instead of the newer Railroad mk1 bogie with NEM pockets; and according to the website; doesn't have any of the parts (mailbags, dock, etc) to actually make it work.

As a 2-rail user, don't tempt me! They have the yellow one with the trailer too; which would technically count as either a complete freight train or a tender loco, depending on how you look at it! :D

I do wonder how long Hornby will be with us ... Comment on the release of their financial statement.

Are the Czech models Märklin 38477 and ROCO 477008 made by same contract manufacturer, or by either one? It just can’t be a coincidence.

Roco's design is totally different from Marklin / Trix including car body material, running gear details, wheel fringe. Therefore, I don't think they use the same module manufacturing the same models for Roco and Marklin by the same OEM factory. Product coincidence is very normal for the different model manufacturers in the same year.

Could perhaps the MTB model be in cooperation with Roco or Märklin? Ref post 112 by Jimmy Thompson
