Special Edition Flying Scotsman / Comes for Märklin and Trix H0

[@allegheny1633]

Very nice and thanks to Goppingen for choosing the worldwide scale of H0. Please, may we also have some passenger coaches to go behind this loco? Maybe Gresley coaches for a Gresley loco?

[@rgmichel]

Wonderful. Many British HO modellers will be very pleased with this development, and will ask whether or not other British outline models will follow. Truly a ground breaking model for British Railway Modelling never mind any interest in Europe. Truly amazing, and many congratulations on this one.

[@samarlondon]

Finally a British model! Could not believe my eyes when I saw that! Already made my reservation😄...

[@XRunNGun]

As an Australian modeler I would love to see a version in Apple Green which was the livery it had touring Australia in 1988. I also feel like there would be a great opportunity to make a USA-tour version in HO scale, which a lot of modelers would buy!

[@ewsdneax61eaxe10]

Finally a British loco for Marklin/Trix hopefully you do the other loco as well including the wonderful diesels.

[@billmcgavin142]

wow, look forward to getting this locomotive. Big hats off for Marklin for modelling this one. Thanks Bill

[@andreaskahr2583]

😍🚂Such beautiful Locomotive

[@RogerMoran-l6m]

Just received my Flying Scotsman M22886 and would love Marklin/Trix to bring some passenger coaches. If not, where can I buy the Orient Express coaches?

[@mcrsit]

Finally Marklin quality on british engines! Can't wait for the Stevenson Rocket!

[@tomsmaerklintrainlayout6742]

Who makes that car the prototype is pulling at 7:30 minute/seconds? I think I saw Marklin couplers...

[@buijs1967]

Another great surprise. By the way, City of Truro 4-4-0 was the first to crack the 100mph barrier. But a A3 could do it every day of the week and for longer 😄

[@greathorton]

Definitely, this is a very good news from fans of UK' loocomotive and Marklin, I am eager to get one. I must pay attention that the coming release date.

[@Nellerkillerstrains]

What a fantastic model! Can't wait to run it on my layout! Although i do have one little question regarding the cover, between the cab and tender. At 1:52 you show it turning upwards, almost like a spoiler on a car, While at 6:16 it is shown facing down. Which way will it face on the final model? personally I hope it will be facing down, as I think that looks better and more realistic.

[@Aaron-uf3sl]

Probably going to be a rubber part for flexibility so it’ll be right

[@Nellerkillerstrains]

@@Aaron-uf3sl lets hope so! :)

[@DallasSDogger]

looking forward to this. model!

[@iainhenstridge6343]

That looks fantastic. Why we persist with the incorrect OO scale baffles me

[@Donnie67654]

it is mostly because of the mechanisms would be hard to fit into the shells. it is easier for american because of the size. but british which r on average smaller. is much tougher.

[@iainhenstridge6343]

@@Donnie67654 a few years ago I would have agreed, but these days British N gauge and the new Hornby TT120 range show that sophisticated mechanisms and DCC work perfectly well together. Lima, Fleischmann and Rivarossi all tried to British outline HO in the 1970s, but at that time there was a hostility to non-British products and of course most modellers had grown up with OO. The latest OO models look amazing, even if the Chinese quality is suspect and they’re too easily damaged. But however great they may look, their gauging is 2.33mm too narrow!! Too late for me as I have 300+ OO locomotives!

[@JRSJordansRailwaySimulator]

Oh ok that looks really nice actually I may have to grab hold of it when it’s available

[@drewdam8871]

Fabulous, I want one please :-)

[@metal_wheels]

I hope they will make the USA tour version so everyone could run Scotsman with USA models

[@rodimussupreme2329]

I hope they do the double tender version.

[@sepper707]

4:17, if i'm not mistaken that's a "headboard" and it refers to the train, not the locomotive XD sorry to nitpick

[@Samstrainsofficially]

Now that looks good. Maybe do a whole range of british stuff so we can all run our stuff together in HO instead of having one weird standout OO scale.

[@Steamer96]

I wish you would make the USA tour one for true HO 1:87 scale.

[@GCch6874]

I have been trying to find a HO rather than OO British Rail carriage without success, which I saw in Stuttgart between 1970 - 73 where it stood at the Hauptbahnhof advertising hoildays in England by train (OO carriages are bigger than HO when in the same train)

[@Donnie67654]

Just use any rollingstock u have an call it an excursion. not everything has to be scaletrains or museum quality correct. just enjoy ur models.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Wow

[@greathorton]

Will this special edition be designed with smoke features?

[@Nellerkillerstrains]

as far as I can read on the website it seams like the locomotiv will have dynamic smoke :)

[@greathorton]

@@Nellerkillerstrains Yes, thank you. Finally, I found that it was mentioned in her brochure.

[@mark4768]

When is this Special Edition Flying Scotsman from Märklin & Trix H0 release date due? Thank You.

[@Nellerkillerstrains]

Q4

[@mark4768]

@@Nellerkillerstrains So between September - December this year Correct?

[@Donnie67654]

@@mark4768 Yes correct. But I am seeing either 3Q or 4Q. but it is definitely between October to December

[@greathorton]

I am a beginner of Marklin digital. If I have Mobile Station unit only, some digital features and functions cannot be fully executed within this Flying Scotsman locomotive, am I correct? Must have CS3 ?

[@Nellerkillerstrains]

that depends on what mobil station you have and if its updated to 3.55 I personally use a mobil station 2 I got around 10 years ago and had updated 2 years ago and it works just fine with all my digital locomotive with 20 functions or more therefore the flying scotsman should be no problem if you have an updated mobil station 2

[@thefruitdealer4970]

if you have an updated mobile station 2 you will get almost all digital features and functions

[@Steven_Rowe]

The back of the tender is wrong, the curved top is much flatter than on the model and it is very noticeable.

[@Donnie67654]

That is false. it is not flatter it just a lower hump. They made the back hump the same height which throws it off

[@Steven_Rowe]

@@Donnie67654 regardless it doesn't seem to look right.

[@bohemianh]

Where are the BR06 locomotives hiding?

[@littlemaster22]

Only mildly annoyed that a German company can make a better British Model than the British manufacturers xD. Maybe one day an equivalent for OO gauge.

[@trainsandstuff1021]

Granted probably for 3x the price but atleast somewhat justified, with all the features and being made in göppingen and what not

[@littlemaster22]

@@trainsandstuff1021 yh the technical specs are pretty outstanding.

[@ewsdneax61eaxe10]

highly detailed and made of metal with brass rather than the cheap flimsy plastic.

[@Aaron-uf3sl]

Are these going to be 2 rail or 3 rail?

[@Nellerkillerstrains]

Both

[@SuperRobotStudios]

They’ll be released in both configurations; Märklin for 3 Rail, Trix for 2 rail

[@nigelcole1936]

Such a shame they chose the current configuration. Love Flying Scotsman but only when in apple green and without those smoke defectors which were only installed in its late BR days.

[@Marco-xz9sc]

The model Hornby would never make

[@Shoddy127]

The chimney is way to tall! Otherwise it looks pretty good.

[@Kinggojo465]

This can be real can it?

[@niallitty2592]

I don’t understand the appeal for this outside of Australian and American tour models?

[@gezag.hanniker1940]

How about some proper cars to go with this engine....??? I don't think this engine toured the continent of europe did it?

[@eeclass20]

It never appeared in Europe but did go to the USA in the late 60's where it nearly broke it's owner .

[@Aaron-uf3sl]

@@eeclass20Peglar bankrupted himself, once the financial backing from the English government was withdrawn he should’ve pulled up stumps and gotten the loco out of America ASAP

[@exveefan]

Was going to suggest at least some Australian coaches as a substitute, but the loco was in Apple Green during the Aussie tour.

[@tomsmaerklintrainlayout6742]

Can’t wait to see this on my layout, even pulling some flimsy Hornby OO gauge cars…
