Elephant Express from TRI

The blue elephant from the WDR's ‘Sendung mit der Maus’ programme is 50 years old. To mark the occasion, TRI has wrapped locomotive 110 469-4 so that it can celebrate its milestone birthday together with the mouse and duck. Since January 2025, the ‘crease’ with the special design has now been in train service and not only delights children. Märklin is taking this as an opportunity for a one-time special model (item no. 88417) with the latest technology, including LED headlights and a bell-shaped armature motor. The side walls are also prototypical with rectangular louvre fan grilles and engine room windows.
