Trix NI but not yet LGB NI are also up.

How could you possibly not want a Coke train??

I was expecting a weathered challenger and i got this.Unbelievable choise from Marklin,i do not want to write exactly what i am thinking because Webmaster will delete my account to the forum immediatelly.

Trix have released a 6 car set of the ore cars, which might be more to your liking.

That USA Coke train is truly horrible..

The 75 Tonne crane looks good.. And that TGV is very very nice - I wonder if the wheels stay on in this version?

Development of high prices is getting an issue for me.

€ 379.99 for the E44 Thats Brawa price level.

It is nauseating cheap trash!

I agree completely.

It's deceiving that any real US item is offered. Let's see if they issue something American in Summer or Fall new items.

My information was erroneous. I apologize for the inaccuracy. Sometimes it is hard when you are going on speculation and rumours from various sources

The Sggrss and Sgns container cars are interesting. There is an assortment of DB, DB Railion, Hupac, AAE BoxXpress and AAE Locon cars. The question is, as these cars are often run in company owned unit trains (e.g. Rotterdam to Italy, Antwerp to Italy or Hamburg to Italy), which of these cars are suitable to be run with each other.

I guess that the DB and DB Railion can go with my NS Railion cars (47051.001-004), 47053 and 47054?

What about my Railrelease NL (47051.005-008) cars, my Cemat cars (47095) or my NS cars (47084).

I can run the Hupac one with the cars from the 47081 set from 2012. Where would the Locon or BoxXpress cars fit in?

I think that I would prefer if they sold the cars and the containers separately. That way, I could match containers to cars and build my own consist.
Maybe the Sgns in sets of 2 and the Sggrss alone?

It seems like that Nurnberg fair Marklin will announce the takeover of another company. Tillig?

There are a few models that I am looking forward to...:

The 39364 became much more interesting because they finally seem to have made an Ae 6/6 with the Falschfahrlicht.
The 47068 is interesting. I wonder if I can put containers on such a car?

The 36635 SRT 487 has a nice livery that stands out anywhere. I will have to find a suitable consist for this one

The 43650 Gotthard Panorama Set sounds interesting. I will probably pick this one up, so expect to see at least one of last year's special item up for grabs.

The 43411 ABt pilot coach has been long awaited. Most of my push-pull consists already have pilot coaches though.

The 47097 Hupac Sgns will be welcome here.
I am not sure how to match the 47802 Sggrss 80 because that one is registered to Locon Germany. I don't know which operator would use this car in/through Switzerland.
The 47800 and 47801 Railion and DB ones are more suitable for a Swiss transit train. I can match these with

The 36353 PTT Shunter is an interesting model. I guess that this can be used with older post cars and not the latest yellow Wascosa 4 axle ones.

and now for the rest:

I ordered the BLS Re 475 from Roco, so I don't know whether the Maerklin version is for me.
The same goes for the Re 620 X-Rail.

I would really have liked to see Maerklin finally offer an adapted EWIV A as AS Service Car with baggage compartment. This would be a minor cosmetic change that would not require much more than a paint job and would appeal to anybody who bought the 42152, 42159, 42164 or 42169 models.

I am still waiting for the orange version of the WRm (43874), which would go with the 43340 and the FS Eurofima coaches.

The FS offerings are really small this year. It would have been nice to see either some UIC-X or Eurofima variations, either grey or rosso fegato for UIC-X or bigrigio or XMPR for the Eurofimas.

Given the fact that many of these models won't actually see the light of the day for almost another year, it would have been nice to see Maerklin be one of the first to offer the LokRoll SBB Cargo 193 or to have been the first to offer the RailCare 476 or ELL SBB Cargo 193 with 4 pantographs instead of being 3rd with the BLS 475, but that is just my opinion.

Or maybe even the SBBC Novelis MRCE 189? http://www.bahnbilder.de...s-sbb-twindexx-fuhr.html

Just a quick correction to the description of the 37326 Re 6/6 (620) of SBB Cargo with the X-Rail markings:
There is no connection between the Basel based Xrail alliance that this locomotive advertises and the EVU VKM code Xrail, which was the letters assigned to Crossrail Benelux and Crossrail Germany.

The X rail alliance unites CFL Cargo, Lineas (SNCB Logistics), SBB Cargo, DB Schenker, Green Cargo (SE), Rail Cargo (AT/HU) and maybe CD Cargo also (not mentioned on website)?

I was surprised to see no information about new digital couple.
Why no information or new on the locomotive?

Simba Dickie Group who own the Marklin.

The family Sieber now wants to take over the giant Hornby? - Stummi member.

Someone on Stummi's is bound to start a rumour that the Sieber's will take over Roco/Fleischmann, who have also been in financial trouble.



Who's Horny......?

But, I agree with your sentiment - it could lead to having 3 rail British trains........

Of course the Hornby group also includes Bachmann and others. Do they still own Meccano - that could raise interesting questions around Marklin Metal!?

Well with the new 2018 model railroad centerfolds we are looking at now...

Hi all
I have been looking around the 2018 news.
I can only from my point of view see only a few models that I'm interested of. Vectron in DB and Hectorrail and The 102
Skoda.
So this year is a budget friendly year regarding Märklin model trains.

best regards
LG

Well, Hornby has been having to reorganise several times over the last few years, ever since the disastrous Olympic models they produced didn't sell.

Having had a bit more of a read through the brochure, it looks to me like the Emma loco for the Jim Button & Lucas set is a Minox body, as it specifically says the loco is larger than normal Marklin locos.

Nothing for me from the 2018 items,i will try to buy locos and cars from previous years i could not buy.
