Prototype: 3 four-axle pass, the so-called "Schürzenwagen" / "Skirted Passenger Cars" from the prewar period. Several of these cars remained after World War II in France and entered SNCF ownership in this manner. This group of cars has a bottle green basic paint scheme corresponding to the way the cars looked in Era IV at the start of the Seventies.
\r\n\r\nModel: This car set contains 2 cars, 2nd class, as well as 1 car 1st class. The lettering for the models is done with a high level of detailing. A multi-colored imprinting was also done on the car ends. An absolute highlight regarding the lettering is the imprinting of the door windows from the perspective of the miniature passengers. They are forbidden from opening the doors before the train is stopped.
\r\n\r\nInterior lighting can be installed in the cars. All the cars have different car numbers. They come individually packaged and there is a master package. Each car includes a short diaphragm to represent the car corridors.
\r\n\r\nLength over the buffers per car 24.4 cm / 9-5/8".

This family of high-speed multiple-unit trains is continuously developed by Alstom, both technically and visually. The TGV Euroduplex is one such innovation, designed for operating speeds of up to 320 km/h.
\r\n\r\nThe Euroduplex consists of ten double-deck cars, with two power cars and eight intermediate coaches. As its name suggests, the fleet of 134 trainsets is equipped for international service. Operating under the name TGV INOUI, these trains run not only across France but also into Switzerland and Germany. Whether travelling for business or leisure, passengers experience high-speed operation combined with comfort and a distinctly French atmosphere. Onboard Wi-Fi is available, and the bistro offers coffee and light refreshments.
\r\n\r\nThe TGV INOUI can be added to a layout in HO scale in a configurations of up to ten cars, bringing the French high-speed rail to the model railway.
\r\n\r\nPrototype: TGV INOUI (Euroduplex) high-speed train. This is the premium offering of the French State Railways (SNCF), with enhanced comfort and service, such as WLAN. This is a version for the service between Paris and Munich. Two powered end cars (M1 and M2), one bi-level transition car (R1), 1st class, one bi-level transition car (R8), 2nd class. Powered rail car train road number 4713. The train looks as it did in 2025.
\r\n\r\nHighlights
\r\n\r\nModel: The train is a 4-part set. Both power cars are motorized (M1 and M2). The train has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. There is a controlled high-performance motor in both powered end cars, centrally mounted. All 4 axles are powered by cardan shafts. Traction tires. Factory-installed interior lighting. The triple headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel. They and the interior lighting will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The third headlight can be separately switched off digitally for the French light changeover (light function). Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. A buffer capacitor is fitted. Cabs in the powered end cars have interior details.
\r\n\r\nSeparately attached metal grab irons. The powered end car and transition cars are permanently coupled in pairs, with special close couplings and a guide mechanism. Additional guide mechanism in the Jakobs truck. The train has a power pickup feature whereby power is picked up from the pickup shoe in the powered end car at the front of the train. A continuous electrical connection through the entire train supplies the interior lighting with power. Each powered end car has 2 different single-arm pantograph designs, one with a slipper for the DB catenary and one with a slipper for the SNCF catenary. The pantographs work mechanically but are not wired to take power.
\r\n\r\nThe cars are a scale reproduction, which means the minimum radius for operation is 360 mm (14-11/64) with sufficient clearance on both sides. Length of the 4-part set is 102 cm (40-5/32).
\r\n
\r\nThe basic set, item 37798, can be extended using the add-on car sets 43428, 43438, and 43448 to create a prototypical ten-piece unit.

Always larger, always faster, always more efficient: In the United States, the major locomotive builders continued developing “super-power” steam locomotives right up until World War II — engines that routinely overshadowed anything produced in Europe at the time. When the European locomotive industry lay in ruins at the end of the war, and France in particular had lost a significant portion of its locomotive fleet, the French government turned to the United States for rapid relief.
\r\n\r\nWhat they needed was a locomotive that met French standards and could serve as reliable, all-purpose motive power across the network. Within only two years, American and Canadian locomotive manufacturers delivered more than 1,300 “Light Mikado” locomotives for the SNCF. In France, however, these engines were anything but “light.” With an indicated output of more than 3,000 horsepower, they ranked among the most powerful steam locomotives in all of Europe.
\r\n\r\nFor many years, the 141.R class hauled a wide variety of trains — including prestigious services such as the luxury “Mistral,” which connected Paris with the Côte d’Azur. The final 141.R locomotives remained in service until 1974 in Sarreguemines, near the German border, where they regularly stood side-by-side with German steam engines that, by comparison, looked almost small. Encounters like these can now only be recreated on a model layout — or you can display the imposing 141.R alongside other legendary high-performance steam locomotives in your collection.
\r\n\r\nSince locomotive 141.R 1244 has been on display in a museum in Switzerland, Märklin’s impressive new model fits perfectly into the modern Era VI.
\r\n\r\nHighlights
\r\n\r\nModel: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, mounted in the boiler. Four axles powered, three of them using side rods. Traction tires. The locomotive and tender are constructed mostly of metal. There is a factory-installed smoke generator. The headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. These lights can be switched to a red marker light. The cab lighting, running gear lights, and firebox / burner flickering can be controlled separately in digital operation. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. There is a close coupling with a mechanism between the locomotive and the tender. The tender has a close coupler with a guide mechanism in an NEM pocket. The buffer height on the locomotive and tender adheres to the NEM. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Piston rod sleeves and brake hoses are included.
\r\n\r\nLength over the buffers approximately 27.9 cm / 11".

\r\n“For decades, the beautiful and the wealthy traveled to the Côte d’Azur aboard these deluxe trains. In the 1970s, a new locomotive type appeared—one that quickly became as legendary as the trains it hauled. With its advanced technology and strikingly unconventional design, it made history on the rails of the SNCF.
The distinctive front end, created by designer Paul Arzens, earned the nickname Nez cassé (‘broken nose’) from railroaders and the public alike. It was nothing short of a revolutionary alternative to the plain, rectangular locomotive bodies common up to that time. The class BB 22200 fit perfectly into the unique and exclusive atmosphere of the world-famous Côte d’Azur.
\r\n\r\nThanks to their multi-system capability, class 22200 locomotives could operate throughout France. This made it possible, for example, to run the legendary overnight Train Bleu on its 1,000-kilometer (625-mile) route from Paris via Nice to Ventimiglia. Until the arrival of the TGV high-speed trains, the 205 locomotives of the 22200 class were considered the stars of the SNCF fleet.
\r\n\r\nToday, many units remain in service, though mostly in more routine regional or freight duties. Their glamorous appearances on the Mediterranean routes have become a thing of the past. In miniature, however, the superb new Märklin model brings back the era when the Nez cassé drew admiring glances far beyond the blue waters of the Côte d’Azur.”
\r\n\r\nPrototype: French State Railways (SNCF) class BB 22200 electric locomotive. Stone gray basic paint scheme. Road number BB 22307. The locomotive looks as it did around 1985.
