It's the plastic era II Rheingold - coaches roll much easier than the tin-plate era II Rheingold coaches.


Tom, All,

I think Marklin have realised the value of Big Boys, just look at their ebay prices, and are just hoping to extract more cash out of poor enthusiasts like David (Klarinettemaster & BD for that matter, might even be me but no, well probably not Blushing )

I think your right on with the 41929 Rheingold Set, but extra baggage car only probably, but we can hope, I'd like factory fitted over head lights and an mfx function decoder. I will sell my unrun 42283 set and buy this one ! ThumpUp Smile

Of course I don't expect any of us to have to actually pay those prices, I'm sure there will be preorder discounts available Sneaky

On Stummi's Forum they say that this year's Big Boy will be weathered (that would justify a higher price).

Drehscheibe reports that the new items for 2013 have been presented to a selected audience today and that all will be made public on Monday 14th January at noon.
A clear embargo till that time is in force.
At least that gives us all some peace of mind over the weekend,and enjoy our "old" trains before the new crop arrives.
No sign of the third 4415 special car either.
On the entire internet there is no picture to be found of the new startersets,or much else for that matter.
I would wish our politicians would be able to keep secrets like that........

I was wondering if that was the situation. It might be similar to 37992 (but that was a limited edition model, iirc).

When it was available, or after it was from M., and Lokshop had a few to get rid of I could have bought one of those M37992 Big Boys for about 385.00eu without Mwst and whilst tempted, I didn't think the weathering was convincing, so didn't bother, and of course I'm not doing USA RR, at all, oh no Wink . However when the preorder price for 37994 was 488eu in Jan '012 I couldn't resist. Another weathered one I'll be able to leave alone Wink BigGrin

With apologies if I offend any owners of the 37992 Just my HO Blushing

That said a 37992 without box and damaged Wooden Case sold very recently on ebay for just under $US800.00. 37993 on the other hand seem to be $US800.00 - 850.00

Hi all,

I agree with Glen,the factory weathering is not very convincing,IMHO.

I remember reading that M spent 1 million DM on R&D on the Big Boy aloneScared So expect more,...Wink

What is an mfx decoder +?
Together with the CS2 software version 2.5. can locos with this decoder (3 difficulty levels) are driven alongside the standard operation mode in the cab. Looks very interesting. Here is the cab of the locomotive in the display of the CS2 is there and ready to operate as SIFA incl.

mfx+ means "CS2 goes Z21". Z21 does it for all decoders, CS2 does it for mfx+ decoders.

Is that the big surprise we're waiting for? Cab control in the CS2?

It looks like the CS2 screen will show a display representing the cab controls. Maybe a more realistic way of controlling the loco?

mFX+ might simply refer to the newer, firmware update-able decoders
However a technology functional jump (of the protocol) is due and the "me too" brigade could expect functional tweaks like >16 functions

A Z21 "skin"/layout, by itself , wouldn't warrant a protocol update - it would benefit by a more responsive CS touch screen
Even overlaying real time cab video! would not be covered by mFX - but the CS would need a video-in capability

Sounds more like the next 'vision' is being telegraphed - but keep in mind
- mFx locos were available (just) before the MS1 was available but almost 2 years before the CS(60212) hit the streets.

Note: Just speculation but - with the 60830/60840 no longer available, I have been wondering if their replacements would just be DCC capable (aka 74461/5 roll-up) or include (via mFX maybe) added "state" feedback capabilities.

Either way - something is due on the infrastructure front

Item under 1.could be the 3-part Swedish articulated loco (DM3?) of which a poster was seen in the design department of Maerklin some time ago,i called this the shape of things to come.

The Canadian train is likely made up of the good old streamliner coaches plus some F7 Diesel units,this time in Canadian colors,hopefully CN,with the red/white/black loco's.

That would be nice,but a disaster for those who are keeping the original Northlander as a collectors item/investment.
My guestimate is that M would not like to jeopardize the interests of collectors that way.
The original Northlander was issued in a limited number only.
The aluminium streamliners i believe first appeared in 1997/1998,it is very easy to issue them in various roadnames without extensive investments.
In that way R&D costs will be earned back bit by bit.
Same goes for the good old F7 models,very easy to bring out new roadnames.

Different locos, different coaches than with the Märklin versions of the past, so why not a new Northlander?
But probably it'll be a train with a different name to cover a different area in Canada.

Northlander would be nice, though I'm not really into North American trains. In this case the train originated in Europe, so there might be an excuse to see it running over European tracks.

I don't see why present and future modellers should suffer so that a handful of collectors can say that their "showcase queens" are so exclusive. Anyway, I don't see why making a new model would affect the value of an old one? As long as the new one does not pretend to be an antique there would be a clear distinction between the two. The new model would no doubt be closer to scale length and have much more modern electronics in it.

This is a bit out of topic, as it is a wish and probably not new item, but I would like to see a bananas 8 car set Ep. III.

In case banana cars already existed in Ep. I, then I prefer it in Ep. I.

Ray,

Time will tell who is right.
I owned the first Big Boy,the Insider model.
Thence Maerklin started to turn out all sorts of Big Boys,and they still do.
It just does not feel right,at the time it felt like betraying loyal Insider members.

I understand the feeling. I think it is not profitable for Märklin to do moulds just for Insiders, and so we must adapt to the fact that
Insider models are just One-time series models, but nothing more.

I hope Märklin will make a new NS DE-1000 or SBB RAm with MFX and full-sound. Roco and LSmodels have made nice (new) trainsets of it, but Märklin did not.

Hi all,

See my post above about the investment M made with the BB,there was no way M was going to only have 1 model to only Insiders and I said so at the time.

The Revell model is nice!Laugh

The 3150 Northlander is currently doing between Euro 1,200.- and Euro 1,800.- on internet.
Worth the original investment i would say.

Worth the original investment i would say.




Totally agree. Even if Märklin produces new versions, the old versions also keep value.
Maybe if there was no newer version with the same mould the value of the old models would be higher, but that was not sustainable
to the manufacturer, unless the prices were extremely high. Even in this case, it was difficult for the manufacturer to have enough customers for the model so it was profitable.

I'm curious to know how the original "le Capitole" (3059) value holding up since Marklin produced a replica recently. Any indication or is it too soon?

There is currently a bid on eBay for the original Le Capitole locomotive (3059) in excellent or like new condition. Several 4075 cars are included too. You can google the auction and watch for the final price. It will be for sure way, way more than what the "new" Le Capitole runs for.

I don't think that a replica will ever replace the collector value of the original.
Cheers!

Hi Armando, how about a link?, that would be helpful.

I've checked ebay.com & .de, no original Le Capitole including several cars are to be found. Plenty of version 2 sets, some original locos and coaches but none for both.

Thanks

Confused Confused Confused

I've searched ebay.de for "märklin capitole", "märklin 3059", "märklin 4075"

I've searched ebay.com (and com.au) for "marklin capitole", "marklin 3059", "marklin 4075"

and ensured 'worldwide' and 'include description' are both checked

No hits for anything other than individual items. Believe me, after 15+ years on Ebay, I know how to search so something is clearly eluding me here.

'scotty1954' is selling 1 loco and 5 individual coaches, all seperate items but no single listing for loco AND coaches

Have I misunderstood this comment.... "There is currently a bid on eBay for the original Le Capitole locomotive (3059) in excellent or like new condition. Several 4075 cars are included too. You can google the auction and watch for the final price. It will be for sure way, way more than what the "new" Le Capitole runs for."........ to mean literally a single auction, when it's supposed to say that "Several 4075 cars are also listed by the same seller"??

If that's the case then of course I've found it, but if there's another one, 'someone', please, bring up the auction referred to, copy the link, or the auction number, and post it here before I blow a gasket, or a fuse, or derail....... sigh Blushing

What is an mfx decoder +?
Together with the CS2 software version 2.5. can locos with this decoder (3 difficulty levels) are driven alongside the standard operation mode in the cab. Looks very interesting. Here is the cab of the locomotive in the display of the CS2 is there and ready to operate as SIFA incl.


It looks like the CS2 screen will show a display representing the cab controls. Maybe a more realistic way of controlling the loco?


A display representing a cab control : it is not for myself....I even find it ridiculous. It's like a barrier or an obstacle. My pleasure is= my Loks on the layout. Not on a screen. If I want to play with a screen I buy a video game "train simulator".
Or I could accept it just like an option (not mandatory)
I need efficient control of our train-models : fast & simple. For instance : the control knobs of the CS2 with a kind of adjustable inertia are the best I ever seen on this market.
another thing I find somewhat ridiculous is the raising number of sound functions, it seems to be a competition : 20, 24, 30,40....70, 100 ? what they do is cutting sounds into slices....What a sound !....just the noise of steam engines or Diesel engines rolling on tracks.....a tenth of different sound commands is maximum for my taste...

Haha... well no worries from me. I'd rather have the replica and run it for years until the wheels fall off. Then it will be worth less, and my grandchildren will be less likely to sell it. So then it will stay in the family and be passed down to future generations.Confused

I better start saving for whatever that Canadian train turns out to be.

Hi all,
BigGrin
I agree with Glen,the factory weathering is not very convincing,IMHO.

I remember reading that M spent 1 million DM on R&D on the Big Boy aloneScared So expect more,...Wink

Dr D



For about 2 years they have modified completely their way of work : you should look at the most recent weathered models, it's now an accurate work + beautiful finish. A work of art probably made by specialists...(the last weathered TUBIZE - Luxenburg railways ex br 52 - is magnificient)
Now they have developped a real range of weathered items. A special range. Which was not the case before.

I'm kind of partial to Southern Pacific as its tracks split my home town of Lancaster in two on the way up to Mojave and onto Tehachapi, CA.

I'd like to see a GS4 (Northern) in HOac if M chooses to do another American steam engine in either Daylight or the Freedom train with a set of 13 cars. BigGrin

Not sure about that.
Lenz have + symbol in own decoder too which stands for control you can do via system that allows all functionals.
Z21 don´t have all control in digital system like "Rail-Com"(example).
Marklin don´t either have Rail-Com in CS2 for DCC system yet.

I think a replica will also make the original cheaper.
A price depends on supply and demand. Those interested in the train will get the replica, so demand for the original will be lower.

Or will we see a new train with streamliner coaches? (Probably from old moulds with old scale length, too.)

For the new Canadian train I expect streamliner coaches, not a RAm re-run of the Northlander.

The Canadian train is likely made up of the good old streamliner coaches plus some F7 Diesel units,this time in Canadian colors,hopefully CN,with the red/white/black loco's.


The Swedish Dm3, not norwegian, would be a dream come true for me. It would be a certain but for me.
