This appears to be something new in the Marklin world !! A close up reveals a bigger than normal coupler unit on the bogies. Does anybody have any idea of how this will work, and will it be reliable ?? Interestingly enough, I think this will be the first locomotive in 37XXX series with Soft Sine Propulsion. So The 39XXX numbers to designate this might not be used in future ???

I don't know why Marklin has messed up its numbering system with the V 90's. The Telex couplers look very similar to the one-off Roco remote couplers, also found on their V 90 model. I wonder if there is any connection? Ray
