The gold in gold-plating, or leaf gold, is so thin that the cost is minimal.
20 sheets of gold leaf (150mm x 150mm) is about AUD$20.
It is the plating process which is costly because it takes time to set up facilities and run the operation.

I’m looking at the BR80 here in the news prospect.
Could this possibly be a cooperation between ESU and Marklin? ESU released this model 2024..
Does anyone have inside info?

I will anyway pre-order this one for sure.



The lok is the same as 37065 but with a little update.. not a new tooling...


I was seeing the images in the Märklin product page and the image with a view from the side rear window shows the commands panel in the cab over the firebox, so it really seems they are using the same motor and so just a little update.



I am pretty sure this refresh will be new DC motor (not the old DCM) with the capacitor, otherwise they would not be able to have the open cab view.

Looks like Roco should reveal their CSD 477.0 or maybe 498.0 Mellow

Three different releases in the same year so demand might cover LOL

Märklin/Trix Roco and mtb

"Controlled high-performance drive with flywheel in the boiler."
This is not the description of an old DCM.
Let's wait the "explosion sheet" appear to lift all doubts Laugh

Yes, I think we stopped debating when we realized that the most important highlight wasn’t even on the top list, while smoke generators were ThumpUp

In both cases they will be on my shopping list.



I would be very surprised.
Indeed the Stadler has not officially appeared in real.
Would be strange to choose this model for the Märklin Store 2026 knowing all the other variants have not been released yet. You can’t announce a Märklin Store 2026 and deliver it in 2027. It makes no sense.

Well, there are two Stadlers in the 2026 NI, and I seem to recall there was noises about one late last year, but I think it could be the Austrian one in the 2026 NI.

It wouldn't surprise me to find that delivery of the store items squeezes right to the end of the year. The 2025 wagon kept slipping until it was eventually delivered in December.


Yes there are 2 Stadlers announced this year. And one last year. But they are all meant to be delivered in … 2027 (if you read the catalogues correctly Flapper )
There is no point in announcing a 2026 Märklin Store loco and delivering it in 2027 …
I rest my case.

A.
