Special announcement HO & Z gauge Models
On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the major sporting event of the year kicks off in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Teams from around the globe will compete for the coveted ball. This provides ample reason for us to celebrate this discipline - regarded by most people as the world's most important sport - with a special-edition model in both H0 and Z gauges.
Many nations from our core markets - such as Germany and Switzerland as well as the host countries of the USA, Canada, and Mexico, will be in attendance as the new World Champion is crowned. To mark this occasion, we are once again presenting a truly special model of the Class 185.2 locomotive, featuring a striking livery.
In the Märklin H0 range, the locomotive is released under item number 36026, featuring gold-plated pantographs and coupler hooks, as well as two differently printed side panels—one side displaying the flags of the host nations alongside the German flag, and the other displaying the flags of the host nations alongside the Swiss flag.
In the smallest gauge, Z (scale 1:220), the locomotive also joins the product lineup—likewise featuring gold-plated pantographs—under the Märklin item number 88489.
Expected delivery 3rd Qtr. 2026. Reserve yours today by simply placing a preorder.
