She pulls real Krokodils out of the maintenance shop,so maybe she might receive an honourable mention in the list of crocodiles. One day I'll grow up to be a real Gator. You could call it a "Gatoraid"

Checking the https://www.modelrailroadcollector.wiki database there are now 68 unique model versions, including those released in boxed sets. I've exported the full list, sorted by the release year and variation (Kolls) and posted an image here for your reference. Please advise if you know of a Marklin H0 scale croc that is not on the list and I'll get the live database updated. How many of these do you own? How many are on your want list? If you have a MRC Wiki, account, please update any missing or incorrect information details. Thanks. Enjoy, Kurt

This is my second C-sinus "Cocodrillo", but a few differences to her sister engine E94 #39221 (built in 2001) came up that might be interesting for you. Well, also this loco was bought brand new from M dealership, and quality of material and workmanship are excellent as usual - it's more the assembling (only a few years later ...) 1. #39221's axles and gears were oiled properly - #39223 was dry as a Martini. Couldn't stand that squealing longer than 3 laps ... [xx(] 2. #39221's pickup shoe was adjusted perfectly well - #39223's Schleifer was badly misaligned. Out of time, too. It added to the noise ... [xx(] 3. #39221's wiring was done neatly - #39223's cables were hanging in the air, somehow ... [xx(] 4. #39221's speaker was taped precisely to midship - #39223's one blocked movement of rearward truck, partially ... [xx(] 5. #39221's chassis clearly reads "Made in Germany" - #39223 ??? gives us a new quiz ... [xx(] Fine. A few hours (and a little tune-up) later she's humming SUPER SMOOTHLY like her sister - you can even hear that C-sinus, now Problem is: For US it's no big deal to handle such minor trouble by ourselfes (cos it's fun, too). But the average, perhaps new customer will be extremely dissapointed and shout: "Piece of junk !!!" And never ever buy again ... I have only one question. Please M, WHERE FOR HEAVENS SAKE DO YA ASSEMBLE YOUR €300 PREMIUM LOCOS - AFRICA, HUH ???!!! John Suggestion please: delete the implication about Africa?
		With respect and thanks to Ngannawal, Ngambri and all First Nations people
