electric loco Replika Krokodil mfx

Model: HO gauge AC. Edition of the first crocodile prototype ever manufactured by Märklin for the H0 gauge from 1936. Chassis and body made of die-cast zinc. Both bogies are powered by blind shafts and coupling rods. Factory-installed mfx decoder, so the locomotive can also be used on today’s systems. Due to the reproduction of the historical pattern, a sufficient clearance profile must be guaranteed. Light change, analogue operation. Spring-loaded roof pantographs without electrical function. The model of the crocodile in H0 was originally planned as early as 1936 and was supposed to come onto the market under the item number CCS 700. But it remained a prototype – not least because of the circumstances of the time. It was not until 1947 that an H0 model of the crocodile was introduced under the number CCS 800 – later 3015. The prototype, which has long been on display in the Märklineum, was originally stored in the Märklin archives in the legendary tower room. Now this historical crocodile model is made available to our customers. It features a detailed replica, including a sheet metal pantograph, visible slotted screws and a hook coupling. The latest technology, including a digital decoder, has been integrated inside. The replica of the prototype is available in historical cardboard packaging; the original can be viewed in the Märklineum.
