Bell-armature motor and all axles driven

The bell-armature motor provides a responsive and reliable drive system. All axles are powered, giving this small Z-gauge locomotive excellent running characteristics and impressive tractive power. The dark nickel-plated wheel rims further enhance the model’s high-quality appearance.

A special technical detail is the electrically functional roof pantographs. They complement the modern electric locomotive look and make the model particularly interesting for enthusiasts of finely crafted Z-gauge vehicles.

Elaborate paint scheme and LED light changes

The elaborate paint scheme is the central highlight of this special edition. It gives the BR 185.2 an unmistakable character and makes it an eye-catching model for modern layouts, themed trains, or collections featuring special Märklin editions.

The warm-white LED headlight alternates with red tail lights, creating a realistic lighting effect during operation. With a length over the buffers of 87 mm, the model remains compact yet highly detailed in Z-gauge scale.

One-time series in 2026

This model will be released in a one-time series in 2026. This makes the Märklin 88489 particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate limited-edition special models and wish to expand their Z-gauge collection with a modern, thematically striking vehicle.
