Märklin 36966 H0 Regio Shuttle RS1 Diesel Railcar: Modern Suburban Railcar Model in the bwegt Design

The Märklin 36966 H0 Regio Shuttle RS1 (class 650) diesel powered rail car from Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-GmbH (SWEG) authentically brings the Baden-Württemberg ("bwegt") design to your model railroad layout. This precise replica of a modern diesel railcar from Era VI impresses with many separately applied details, state-of-the-art technology and a realistic appearance. The model is a completely new design and ideal for collectors and model railroaders who value attention to detail and functionality.

The prototype: SWEG Regio Shuttle RS1

The SWEG Regio Shuttle RS1, shown here with road number 238 (NVR number: 95 80 0 650 634-8 D-SWEG), has been in service in Baden-Württemberg since 2024. With its "bwegt" design and the low-lying train destination display, it represents modern mobility in south-western Germany. The characteristic Scharfenberg coupler makes it flexible in operation and ideal for use in rural and urban public transportation.

Märklin - Innovation meets attention to detail

The completely new design of the Regio Shuttle RS1 shows Märklin's commitment to quality and precision. The mfx/DCC decoder installed as standard allows easy control, while the extensive sound functions and the LED interior lighting provide a realistic driving experience. Many separately applied details, such as the imitation of the Scharfenberg coupler, increase the authenticity of this model.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 36966

Traction tires provide optimum traction, and the triple headlights and the red marker lights change over with the direction of travel. A double A light function is also available.
