Technology & sound experience for Märklin compatibility

Prototype history: Modern locomotive power for passenger transportation

The class 111 was created in the 1970s as a further development of the class 110. It was designed for a maximum speed of 160 km/h and replaced numerous old electric locomotives in fast regional and long-distance services. Particularly striking: the S-Bahn versions with train destination indicators and light gray-orange livery in the Ruhr area - a classic of Era IV.

Compatibility & possible uses

The locomotive is suitable for Märklin track and easily handles radii from 358 mm. Thanks to the NEM shaft with close coupler link, it can be easily integrated into existing train formations. Ideal for use in commuter or InterCity service on Era IV layouts.
