The prototype: The Metropolitan Express Train

The MET was a luxury train operated by Deutsche Bahn AG on the Hamburg-Cologne route between 1999 and 2001. With its futuristic design and high level of comfort, it clearly stood out from other trains. The train composition consisted of a powerful class 101 locomotive and specially designed express train carriages. This concept made the MET a showcase project of the late 1990s.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 26931 Train Set

The Märklin 26931 train set has innovative technical functions and a high level of detail. The class 101 locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder with extensive sound functions. The centrally installed high-performance drive with flywheel mass ensures smooth and powerful operation. The locomotive also has LED headlights (white/red), high beams, and separately controlled cab lighting.

The express train cars are manufactured true to scale on a scale of 1:87 and are equipped with dimmable LED interior lighting. Multi-colored interiors provide a realistic representation. Power is transferred between the cars via 4-pin couplers, which ensure seamless transitions and a reliable power supply. The control car is also equipped with an mfx digital decoder and offers separately switchable high beams and control panel lighting.

Detailed express train cars

The MET train cars are equipped with indirect LED interior lighting that can be dimmed digitally. Rubber bead transitions between the cars ensure a seamless look. The interior of the cars has been color-coordinated to reflect the luxurious character of the original. With a total length over buffers of approx. 236 cm, this set is an impressive eye-catcher on any model railroad layout.

Unique digital functions

The class 101 locomotive and the control car are equipped with the latest digital decoders. These offer a variety of sound functions, including driving noises, fans and announcements. All of the lighting elements, including headlights, high beams, and interior lighting, are equipped with maintenance-free warm white LEDs and can be controlled digitally. The extensive digital functions ensure a realistic driving experience and make this set a highlight of modern model railway technology.

Versatile use and precision

The MET train requires a minimum curve radius of 360 mm and is therefore also suitable for more compact layouts. For larger radii, the standard skirts at the ends of the carriages can be replaced with the alternative parts supplied. This flexibility allows the set to be used on a variety of model railroad layouts.
