Off the top of my head,
- Non-insider models for Br56 and Br58
- Return of cheaper Hobby loco models without sound or mfx
- More selection of 1:100 Hobby coaches
- Nice new models of tank engines like Br65, Br66, Br71 etc
- Insider models of rarer prototypes, like for example S2/6 and other Era I express locos.
My point about the Hobby locos (or whatever they're called this year) is that they could produce locomotives with the option of with or without sound and mfx. In other words they can have parallel models in the Hobby range and high end range, as they used to do in the 1990s and early 2000s with many models being offered in full digital or Delta versions.
Similarly they can produce coach models in both ranges, 1:100 or 1:92 (or even 1:87) in the same way as they used to do them in 24cm and 27cm lengths for many years. |

Just ONE item - not very much - but the most annoying product Marklin has produced.  A TURNOUT MOTOR FOR C TRACK THAT IS RELIABLEWhat are my chances - I hope better than Buckley's |
Take it easy . . . . or any other way you can get it !!!!

I'd like to see three things: - Informative product descriptions like they had a few years ago ("5-pole skewed can motor with a flywheel, 4 traction tyres" instead of "controlled high-efficiency propulsion, traction tyres")
- Locos with good motors
- Delivered models that are as described in the new items brochure (do not advertise warm-white LEDs and ship yellow LEDs, do not advertise motors with bell-shaped armatures and deliver can motors)

As I have stated before a new range of C-tracks all having concrete sleepers. To use wooden sleepers on a main line for era IV, V or VI does not look very prototypical. However if Märklin would copy the geometry of all pieces of today's C-track, then it would be easy to build layouts using both types of C-track. Concrete sleepers on main lines, wooden sleepers on secondary lines and sidings and depending on how recently new tracks were laid wooden or concrete for marshalling yards and stations This link takes you to a youtube video where parts are shot from the cab of a DB BR 103 en route from Dresden to Köln (Cologne) and for instance at about 6 minutes 55 seconds you can see a station with tracks with both wooden and concrete sleepers.

Models done correctly! (Had to get that off my chest)
But, if I had any input, here are a couple of ideas:
SBB Re 4/4II in red with rectangular headlights but without the UIC handrail and steps (1984-199X)
SBB Re 6/6 in green or red with round headlights, no UIC step or railings (1975-198X)
SBB Ae 6/6 in red with modified railings, wipers, etc (like 37360 but in red)
and the piece de resistance: SBB Ae 4/7
Coaches:
FS Eurofima Coach Set in 1/100. For some funny reason, Maerklin never released these coaches in orange, only in XMPR.
Regards
Mike C

What I'd like to see for Z scale would be: Y turnouts 15 degree curve segments Another curve radius, be it 170mm or (for preference) 245mm At least one MAK diesel Single OBB coaches, instead of having to buy them in sets 42x (any series!) EMUs in DB AG or DB Regio colour schemes 4-axle silo wagons in any colur scheme or lettering Habbillns wagons in new colour schemes and lettering HUPAC coaches Probably lots more, but those would be a good start :-) Edited by user 08 September 2014 22:42:45(UTC)

My wish list:
New turnout for C-tracks...
Shorter modern passenger waggon with close couples as 30cm waggons does not look good on my layout(look forward to the new 2014 DSB set).
A Marklin CS2 with power switch where you can decide the ouput (2-4amps).
Produce Goliath cranes again.
A rotary crane where the boom is also moveable.

They could do the ALCO world series diesel DL500 as the Australian NSW 44 class or South Australian 430 class.
Variants could be produced to represent the Spanish (RENFE 316) and Greek (SEK A-301) derivatives, giving Marklin customers in Europe a bite at the apple. |

Maybe the track is to use Peco concrete sleeper track with Weichen-walter puko strip. The question I have asked Dieter Lorenz in the past is what is the likelihood of marklin producing 22000 series K tarck with the same Code 90 rail as C track uses, instead of the Code 100 that the 2200 series K track uses. The answer he gave was it wasn't likely to happen as K track is only around 90% of the total HO track production ...

What I want to see:
- more 1:100 coaches in good quality (i.e. correct details, correct number of windows)
- more modern-day stuff
- completion of C track assortment
- multi-protocoll decoders which can handle mfx AND DCC as standard in all H0 locos
What I do clearly NOT want to see:
- locomotives / railcars which are already available for AC from other manufacturers
- steamers as new tooling (in favour of more modern-day stuff) - there have been more than enough of them during the last years..
Regards,
Florian |
H0 3-rail AC with DCC, MM and mfx, 2-rail DC streetcars, and N gauge |

I would think that a booster should be able to do this for an mfx capable loco, but whether Märklin has ever implemented the capability beyond registering a loco I don't know. Still leaves a problem for non-mfx capable locos ...

I think it shouldn't be a helluva problem to have something asking for the loco address. However, if it's already patented by somebody else, it sucks. |

Will be interesting, as quite frankly there aren't a lot more new toolings to produce- at least of things that they can sell in a justifiable volume. That why they prefer to retool the classics like the BR50 as opposed to doing hyper-localized or obscure items.
My list, thinking in terms of realistic feasibility:
- FS Eurofima coaches (I'm with Mike on this one!) Even if they don't have a good italian loco for them, they could mix with SBB coaches and an RE 6/6 or something for an international set
- Any new C track pieces or geometry. No specific requests, just an expanded range.
- They are overdue for a nice Swiss freight car set, in early era to match the new crocodiles
- If not a lot of trouble to make from the AE 8/14 tooling, then an SBB Ae 4/7 would be splendid
Not much else? I would love some italian models but I know that has nearly zero chance of happening |

Sadly, I expect we will see endless re-issues of locos fitted with MFX+, with a few new items.
In recent years the special cargo sets have looked very similar, like they are just rehashed versions of something previously issued, the assumption almost being if we issue a special cargo set for this loco, even if it is similar people will buy it.
I would like to see the basic range of stock items increased, rather than relying on one off series items, and we definitely need some bulk powders silos, and more modern freight items to run with the modern locos. I also think there will be a market for more maintenance themed items.

We can all dream, how about an Denver and Rio Grand Western F7 "Fast Freight" set in the Yellow and Black four-stripe prospector scheme? Or a CB&Q F7 loco set?
Mentioned before....a DB track maint set (DB era III or IV).

I would like to see more of the 'one time only sets" become longer term say 2-4yrs. When your on a very restricted budget you cant keep up even if you are targeting a specific era. I have been acquiring other brands lately.
I would like them to have silent motors. Im over brand new Loco's sounding like a coffee grinder. On a limited budget Im paying too much for a Loco I want to sound like an FX loco from years back, I have a Delta Loco that is quiet as a mouse.
An increase in C track, R6 to 8 radii along with turnouts etc.
This will not only be my wish list for 2015, but until it happens! |

Although I have been buying MTH 3 rail locos to feed my increasing desire/need for more US locos, something from Marklin in something new other than the F7s and PAs would be nice.
As for C tracks, besides those mentioned above such as the slim crossover and larger radius curved turnouts, I would like to see more curve track segments such as 24315, 24307, 24415, 24407, 24515, and 24507. And maybe some R3, R4 or R5 turnouts.

Hi,
On my side, I'd like to see K turnouts with reliable feedback of blade position. I know it's a dream but sometimes dream comes true, mainly because of human effort...
Or at least, some evolution of K tracks (for instance, long radius curved turnouts) because K tracks seems to be frozen since more than 20 years...

Although I most probably buy few items, the ones that can tempt me more are:
Locos:
new tooling S3/6 with interior light and telex in back Ep I
S2/6 with interior light and telex in back Ep I
BR50 with cab tender Ep III
DRG500 in a pro tooling with all the digital features
Green CE 6/8 II weathered with interior light and telex couplers
Green CE 6/8 III with new tooling (although I like the current tooling except for the assembly and disassembly of the top extremities) with interior lighting and telex weathered or not weathered
BR96 with new tooling so it have detailed cabin interior details with light
Digital:
CS2 with Railcom+ capability if it is possible
No german text in CS2 in any situation if ones selects other language (I would prefer Portuguese, but English is ok)
Sounds specific of each loco. I mean, for example, not a general electric loco sound for several different electric locos. For me this is really annoying.
Other:
Relative to motors I like SDS but this desire seems completely out of reality.
I also would like C track with dark brown rails.
All text in English more correctly translated (for example in MM and the Insider magazine)
Some new smoke fluid that don't make us need to open the window ))
All my wishes don't mean I don't like what Märklin is launching. I like a lot most of their new items.

Robert Yes Robert you have a lot of support for this request from me. However I do not hold any hope that M will listen. At least their opposition (R***) have made a 2 rail version of the SD40 available. I have more hope for three rail versions to originate from them. We will continue going down the track with hope.

Not truth! Difference between code 90 and 110(K track) is not much,by become flimsy. What i really want to see change of the K tracks,is to use nickle silver instead of stainless steel. Märklins rail joint is made of nickle silver and easier to solder. So why not same with the rail? Support by of technology is easy to done this. I don´t like stainlees steel,because they oxid too much and when you have digital power,it makes dirt on the track much faster.  |

Peco make code 75 track in OO with set track pieces as well as flex track and a whole range of points ...

And you only need Weichen-Walter pukos which are designed for Peco track to make it three rail, rather than the ugly centre contact strip that Peco make!

A wide-angle double-switch crossing and flex C-track has been on many people's wishlist since I can remember. Same with curved turnouts from R5 to R4.
Why not R6 and R7?
Being in the process of building a "Hosenträger" with a combination of the 24640 straight crossing and two pairs of wide-angle turnouts, I could appreciate having the right makeup straight track pieces for the crossing. At this moment one needs to cut straight C track in order to be able to span the distance. |
