The prototype: The Bavarian express train around 1912

The prototype of the Märklin 26360 train set is from Era I, more specifically from the operating condition around the year 1912. The Bavarian express train was an important connection that linked cities such as Stuttgart, Ulm, Augsburg, and Munich. The class S 3/6 steam locomotive used for this train was one of the most powerful express locomotives of its time. It reached a top speed of up to 120 km/h and was specially designed for high-quality passenger transportation over long distances.

The express train coaches consisted of 3rd class coaches (CCü), a combined 1st and 2nd class coach (ABBü) and a luggage coach (PPü). These carriages were characterized by their elegant and, by the standards of the time, comfortable furnishings. The color scheme of the model in bottle green and ivory is fictitious, but it is based on the historical prototypes and gives the train a particularly appealing appearance.

The manufacturer Märklin

Märklin is one of the world's leading manufacturers of model trains and is known for its high-quality models. Since 1859, the name Märklin has stood for precision, innovation and attention to detail. The brand's models are not only very popular with collectors, but also with model railroaders. With the Märklin 26360 train set, the manufacturer is bringing another masterpiece to the market that impresses with high-quality materials, technical refinements and a detailed reproduction.

Technical Details of the Märklin 26360 Train Set

The Märklin 26360 train set has a class S 3/6 steam locomotive that is equipped with an mfx+ decoder and supports a variety of digital functions. The smoke set installed as standard and the extensive sound and light functions provide a particularly realistic driving experience. The locomotive is predominantly made of metal, which gives it a robust and high-quality feel.

Particular attention has been paid to the detailing of the locomotive: The driving wheels shown to scale have a diameter of 2,000 mm, the filigree running gear made of die-cast metal offers a clear view through the ingot frame, and the smokebox door is fitted with fine steps. The locomotive is also equipped with a 5-pole high-performance drive, which ensures particularly smooth and precise movements thanks to its flywheel mass.

The express train cars are in full length scale and are equipped with spoke wheel sets that are modeled on the historic prototype. They are detailed and perfectly match the elegant steam locomotive. The car coupling between the locomotive and tender is equipped with close coupling kinematics, which ensures a realistic connection and allows the model to be displayed in a showcase position.
