Joined: 18/10/2012(UTC) Posts: 1,378		I think I’ve found the answer, it’s I believe a paint job given to a train loaded container train, looking at climate change and a shift of freight to rail. It toured all over Europe. Edited by user 22 June 2021 14:22:36(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

If not something else from there past or already advertised for new this year. Personally I think they would get better turnover from selling realistic paint schemes on existing models.

Joined: 15/12/2005(UTC) Posts: 3,520 Location: Spain		I don't understand why Märklin receives so much flak for this niche product. Come on; It´s a very simple-to-produce product which will hopefully help increase revenue and might even -marginally- make the product and brand known to people outside of the traditional MRR circles. My guess is that this will hardly impact the production-lines or I+D departments, as they already existing standard products (a box wagon and a section of straight track). Any increased sales can then hopefully help to produce more realistic paint schemes for the more traditional trains. Dissing the product because the featured artist is unknown to some is really NOT a good excuse. Just Google him and get informed. It takes less than 2 minuttes. -You might find that you have actually seen his art before, but never realized who made it. Well guess what; there is (was) a real person behind it! ;-)

And as single items.

Come on; It´s a very simple-to-produce product which will hopefully help increase revenue Yes it is simple to produce as it is 'just a livery job' on an existing wagon, but hang on, I'm still waiting for items from the 2020 new items brochure from 18 months ago - and they are livery changes of existing models. I see it as not good news to be introducing such items when the factory backlog is already very long. Originally Posted by: hxmiesa and might even -marginally- make the product and brand known to people outside of the traditional MRR circles. Well, Marklin is already very well known in most of Europe. Unless the artists have a very well known international profile (and this one doesn't seem to be from the "Who?" questions on this thread) I don't see this as a selling point. And are these people going to buy other Marklin MRR items?

Well guess what; there is (was) a real person behind it! ;-) Well, the production lines are already impacted to the tune of at least 18 months delay on at least two wagon sets that I have on backorder. So how long is the backorder for these wagons going to be? While I appreciate that the production planning for this series of models will have been going on for quite some time, probably started before Covid stopped everything, I do feel the announcement of these could have waited until the current production backlog was somewhat more caught up.

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,668 Location: Brisbane, Australia		The other point about these Massage wagons is that Märklin will be paying a royalty to the artists and/or their managers. I guess this is a negotiated thing. So the idea for these "presentation" products must have sprung from where: Do the Märklin owners have a particular liking for, or are they collectors of art? Do they wish to support art and artists? Or did this spring from the marketing department. Which makes me think outside the square and ask the question whether Märklin could team up with perfumeries and produce articles with a double purpose. If I buy perfume for myself and also my wife, I can collect the special wagons and the accompanying bottle of perfume gets used. The possibilities for matching collector product and consumable is endless. Kimball

(-or maybe they still do, I don't know) No too long ago, some new user here on the forum asked for details about a 1-scale set in her possession. A factory made famous perfume-name branded set. Ideal for a shopping window or like display. If I could only remember the brand-name, it would be easy to search for here in the forum...

Soooo, about the same as a Museum Wagon then, but they tend to come with an additional road vehicle (or other accessory, this year a knife) at that price. many of them are pretty simple livery jobs as well. However it looks like these come in a fancy printed box with certificate, and I guess a fee for use of the artists artwork instead. I haven't seen any indication of how often they intend to offer one of these, once a year, once a quarter, once a month ???

Included items list says: - Included items: 1 printed freight car 1 presentation track 1 certificate 1 artist biography brake shoes & brake hoses Does this mean you have to fit the brake shoes yourself? I imagine the brake hoses are like the additional items that come with locos and don't get fitted because they would interfere with the couplings and adjacent wagons, but brake shoes ???

I might see it on the gauge 1 as those do look somewhat more fragile and might get banged about in shipment...but on the HO? Weird, nonetheless We shall see what we shall see. Looking forward to reviews.

I was wondering how long before they appeared on ebay. I wonder if they got permission to use the Marklin photos, or if someone will dob them in ... I was amused by the sellers name on the second two items. Hmm, an H0 wagon for 10x the original price, i wonder if the tax man knows ...

Should they not be in the Mad Crazy Auctions thread? (https://www.marklin-users.net/fo...ctions--wishful-thinking) Or maybe the sellers should be in the Mad Crazy House....

Get out the coat with the extra-long arms, "and those nice young men in their clean white coats...", and the padded room... by special reservation. (and probably for those who might buy at those prices...)

It made sense to me to post it here, after seeing that Nigel bought a 1-gauge wagon by mistake If the prices I found on Ebay turns out to become reality, it could be the best mistake ever made Per.

Nigel Just realised I bought the Gauge 1 version!! My brain is turning to mush! I'm sure it will be very nice, but I've now bought the H0 one too. Nigel Whoops 😬 still it will go nicely with your other gauge one bits 👍🤓
