They seem to be going the other way, we now have a Gauge 1 V320 following last year's H0 version.

Nice steam locomotive era 4!
Also era 1!
But i am sceptic to the color of the G12.

No information about Trix news?

Swedish Da engine with passenger cars a disaster of rubbish

Who delivers all the crap ideas to M this days

So someone be digging their own grave and I wondering how dealers feels of a good 2020

yes, that is a repaint of the Insider E103 with the drivers that duck out of sight ...

See the post after yours. I like the Trix proficlub wagon (as well as the museum wagon which has been commented on in another thread).

What shall be a desaster and why rubbish of this loco with its tin plate 4 coaches? For me it is a fine short complete train especially for small layouts for a reasonable price. What did you expect?

I presume that it is the same as the most recent versions (39460 red and 39465 Chiquita).

I agree with you!
The Swedish model Da and tin plate wagons are pure fantasy and museum.

I should say that the swedish market is already filled up with G2000 with two different numbers from B-models.

If they do a new tooling of already existing models from other brand they should consider do something extra like smoke generator.

We are overflowing with the same things and it dosent give any empathy to get more

Another german bilevel pilot coach in Zurich S-bahn colors ?
Has it ever happened that a Re420 LION pulled a bilevel consist with pilot coach ?

I agree with you Ray, it would be nice to see some new tooling of the older classics and Blue Box Replicas, though I quite enjoy them myself.

As such, it is a bit disappointing that both the French and Swedish Blue Box Replicas for 2020 have been done before in another guise. I already have the Le Capitol set and the earlier plain brown Da and coaches. It’s not as though Marklin are short of candidates for new Blue Box items. Oh well.

On the positive side, there are many other items to tempt me!

Hello,

I really do love the re-issues of the classic Loks, as well as Tin Plate passenger cars. Over the years, I've purchased every one of the DB versions. They give me a chance to collect pristine digital versions of models that I missed when I was a kid. In addition, I know that I will always be able to repair the traditional Märklin motors. I'm not as confident about finding replacement can motors, should I ever need one.

The interesting thing I just realized is that over the last year, I have tended to run the re-issue Loks and cars more often than my modern versions of the same models. This is mostly because of the limited siding length of my current Tisch Bahn. As Märklin comes out with new toolings they move the Steam Lok sliders from under the boiler to the tender, which means you need longer braking areas. When I looked at my layout this morning, I saw the re-issued versions of the BR 01, BR 23, and BR 44! My re-tooled / modern versions of these loks with sound are all in their boxes, on my shelf.

While I certainly would have loved to have seen another DB re-issue (perhaps an BR 103 with matching Tin Plate IC cars), I will happily spend this year's allocation of funds on more track and digital infrastructure.

Some great locomotives I'm definitely going to buy but zero wagons... I have to say that Märklin locomotives are the absolute best but wagons meh...

By the way, anyone has minitrix new items?

The Trix version is offered with some goods wagons. I haven't checked the text, but presume the Trix catalogue references the coaches in the Marklin catalogue and vice versa ...



I am wondering if Marklin will make a foray into the UK market with a class 66 as these are extensively used in the UK as well. When you look at the prototype photo in the brochure you notice how much lower than the tank cars it is pulling the loco profile is. This would tend to lead to the idea that the prototypes are identical for UK and Europe, so producing an OO version in the Trix range for the UK market would not be a big deal, could be no more than a slightly bigger body on the same chassis, without it looking too badly proportioned. A UK DB Schenker anyone?

Marklin TV No 102 In German. New items 2020.

The Jeco edition of X2000 is good, sure not metal, but never the less very good value for the money and it works well on the C-track in the 3R-version.

I take the Roco Rc-variants any day. The new ones are really nice and the 3R-versions work very well. Try, you wont be disapointed!

ESU is producing these locos for a while with a number of different railway companies. BR 66 & BR 77

For my budget the number of new items is kind of infinite.
For me they are enough. I always thought that it can be too hard (costy) to have so many new items.
Nevertheless there are a lot of new items. The new items in general have higher detail, so they usually take more work hours to design and produce.
There are also several new toolings that also take time to create.
All in all I prefer less and better than a lot and worse.

Not very impressed with Märklin's Swedish news in h0. Looks like potential shelf warmers to me, but I probably buy the container wagon set, and maybe maybe the Hector Rail class 941 (G2000).

Nice with Z-scale. Re with freight wagons.


Roco, black Rc3 and black A7 and B7 wagons.

Most exciting news is the new manufacturer HNoll who takes series production item modeling to a whole new level.

Picture thread in
Svenskt MJ-forum, in Swedish, but pictures are international Take a peek, you'll be amazed!


On Märklins other news: Big disapointment there is still no expansion of the C-track program.

Dare we hope for some better news during the year from Märklin?

I would agree that the number of new items needed to be cut down, as some of the delivery times have been getting stupid.

But I am a bit annoyed that items that have already been announced don't have a flag "announced in Herbst 2019" or some such.

However, another reason for reducing the number of items, between the RAm (4 cars per train) and two ICE-4 items (including their expansion sets makes 9 cars per train) there will be quite a lot of work for the factory. along with that there are a number of wagon sets for both Marklin and Trix, and considering the way the brochures are cross linked between these two I expect there will be a considerable number of wagons for one brand being bought by users of the other.

having made this last comment, i figured i would check just how many sets there are ...
43879 Touristzug Coach set - 5 coaches
44821 Jim Knopf Wagon Set - 3 wagons
45175 175 Years Wurttemburg Railroading - 5 wagons
46394 Wagonset for T3 Loco - 3 wagons
24148 Wagonset for T3 Loco - 3 wagons
46017 Era II Wagonset for Br95 - 6 wagons
00727 Display with 12 different Tankcars
46395 Coach set for Br75 - 3 coaches
24128 Wagonset for Br80 - 4 wagons
24134 tank wagon for Br80 - 1 wagon
24135 Acid Transport Car for Br80 - 1 wagon
24175 Coal Bunker wagonset for Br94 - 2 wagons
24177 coal bunker wagonset for Br94 - 2 wagons
43147 Coach set for Br95 - 2 coaches
42388 SBB Old timer Coach Set for Be4/6 - 4 coaches
43651 SBB Coach set for Re460 - 4 coaches
46333 Hopper car Set - 6 wagons
47225 Sliding Tarp car set - 3 wagons
42042 French Coach set - 4 coaches
47189 NS Wood Chip Gondola Set - 6 wagons - plus Trix 24367 3 wagon version with different road numbers
46875 Belgian Freight Car Set - 5 wagons
47160 Luxembourg Flat Car set - 3 wagons
42694 Danish Coach Set - 3 coaches
42695 Danish Coach Set - 2 coaches
43617 US Coach Set for Big Boy - 6 coaches
46050 Freight car Set for toy Fair Kofferli - 6 wagons
and that is not a complete list of just the HO multiple wagon sets (I got tired of accounting for sets with 2 wagons and didn't allow for any start sets).

So that is 27+ sets which accounts for 107+ individual items to make as they are all different. Then consider that items like the Trix 24175 and 24177 have loads that contain multiple pieces which are individually numbered as well ... it soon mounts up to a logistics nightmare for the production controller.

Marklin prices are now on the Lokshop website, most with a 10% rebate.

Speaking of fantasy locos, I quite like the MHI 36292 Vectron diesel painted in retro V200 colours complete with the V shaped bib in front.

I also like the replica 30380 SNCF BB loco with blue box, and since I like blue box items and don't have one of these locos this is one for me. The picture of the matching tinplate coaches in the neuheitin pdf do not do them justice, the shots of them in Marklin TV ep102 are much better.

Is it my impression or it is getting everything much more expensive? RAm TEE almost 900 euro vs 500 the Roco one, locomotives pretty much starting from 450-500... I mean... I'm seriously considering not buying anything this year also because the quality is not increasing at all. The last V200 I bought was underpowered compared to previous models, including PIKO one; I recently got the BR101 in Märklin livery and while testing at dealer shop before purchasing it kept derailing and he had to send it back for repair...

Marklin is saving me a lot of money in 2020. One item only for SBB era V, ROLA wagons, and I've already got plenty of them.

I agree about that 4014 Big Boy and the UP coach set David, but I will be interested to see the costs of both of those items before I make any decisions.
