NEU Märklin 18044 Retro crocodile CCS 700, exhibition locomotive, AC, mfx, H0 gauge Novelty 2025

This is the 20th edition of the first crocodile prototype ever produced by Märklin for the H0 scale from 1936 as the 2025 Fair Locomotive in the house colors of the Fair Locomotive series. Chassis and body made of die-cast zinc. Both bogies powered with blind shafts and coupling rods. The locomotive has an mfx decoder installed at the factory so that it can also be used on modern layouts. Due to the reproduction of the historic design, sufficient clearance must be guaranteed. Light change, analog operable. Spring-loaded roof pantographs without electrical function, length over buffers 21 cm.

The model of the crocodile in H0 was originally planned as early as 1936 and was to be launched on the market under item number CCS 700 and exhibited at trade fairs such as the Leipzig Spring Fair to ensure sales success, but it remained a prototype - not least due to the circumstances of the time.

This prototype was now chosen to enrich the series of Märklin exhibition locomotives in the corresponding black and red color scheme and to keep alive the feeling of playing model trains in times long past. The locomotive creates a bridge between the times, so that it can also be understood as a tribute to the model train exhibitions of that time and is proof of how long the model train hobby has existed.

Highlights:

• Edition of the Crocodile First King
• for H0 gauge from the 1930s in the colors of the series of trade fair locomotives - not to be confused with the color scheme of some steam locomotives!
• 2025 Exhibition Locomotive.
• Die-cast zinc.
