Märklin deliveries in July

The ‘Carbide bottle wagon’ pack (item no. 82092) is intended for Era IV and can be used to recreate an eye-catching and prototypical transport between the SKW Trostberg works. The five freight cars with brakeman's platforms can be sensibly hauled by the eagerly awaited class V 90 shunting locomotive, ideally in an Era IV version that is sure to follow soon.

With the eight-part ‘Sgns container wagon’ freight wagon display, a new design from the previous year can be usefully extended to form a modern KLV block train. The included carrier wagons are assigned to different railway administrations, therefore also have different colours and are also loaded very differently to match: Container types, owners and lengths vary. This means that not all of the wagon's stands are always utilised, which further breaks up the train's appearance.

A few days before the European Championship final in Berlin, the class 185.2 electric locomotive (88488), a special model intended for this occasion, went on sale and is sold out at the factory. As a special feature, this locomotive without a road number and inscriptions has genuine gold-plated single-arm pantographs.

Shortly before this report was written, the three-part package with three compartment coaches of the Prussian-Hessian State Railways arrived (87568). The models, which are predominantly painted brown and labelled for 3rd class (only one car: 1st / 2nd / 3rd class), are intended for use with the recently delivered class P 8 steam locomotive.
