Marklin/Trix Surprise Locomotive - USA Shay Design Gear Drive Steam Locomotive

The Shay Locomotive

As with LGB's New Items presentation, today we are presenting the Shay locomotive for H0, this time in standard gauge. The extraordinary technology with the external drive including fully movable gear adjustment makes this locomotive an attraction on every model railway layout.
We are delighted to be able to offer this myth among steam engines with its massive appearance in full equipment including smoke generator, sound functions and buffer storage.

You can still experience the Shay steam locomotive myth in the mountains of West Virginia today.

Even though our great model retired after 1945, its successor is still pounding the tracks in tourist traffic today

No doubt, a very fitting Surprise to see this being announced in HO scale following the LGB New Item announcements of 3 very impressive Shay Locomotives in G Scale, LGB-26701;26702 and 26703. Now, the HO Shay version as Marklin stock # 38700 and in Trix, the stock # 25700. In addition, both models will see complementing 3-piece flat car sets; in Marklin stock # 45600 and in Trix, stock # 24922. These car sets are also completely new tooling as well and come with different road #’s. You can complement the Marklin version by extending it with the Trix 24922 and visa versa, the Trix version with the Marklin 45600. Of course, complementary wheel exchanges will be made.

As with all Surprise Locomotive announcements, they are very limited and quickly sell out. Do not miss your opportunity to possess one of these very impressive steam locomotives! A show piece on anyone's layout or display. Pre-Order now!
