Description

This is an edition of the first Crocodile ever produced at Märklin for H0 Gauge prototype from 1936 as a Toy Fair locomotive in 2025 in the house colors of the regular production Toy Fair locomotives.
The frame and body are constructed of die-cast zinc.
Both trucks have siderods driving jackshafts and the trucks.
The locomotive comes from the factory with a built-in mfx decoder thus allowing the locomotive to be used on a current layout.
Sufficient clearance gauge must be ensured due to the modelling of the historic sample.
The headlights change over with the direction of travel and will work in analog operation.
The pantographs are sprung but have no electrical function.Length over the buffer 21 cm / 8-1/4.

Originally, this model of the Crocodile in H0 was already planned in 1936.
It was supposed to come out under item number CCS 700 and for a sales success was already being shown at fairs at that time such as the Leipzig Spring Fair.But it remained as a prototype – not the least due to the circumstances of the times.This Erl King has now been chosen to enrich the series of Märklin Toy Fair locomotives in the appropriate black/red paint scheme and to keep alive the feel for playing with model trains from the long bygone past.This locomotive represents a bridge between the times so that it can be understood as an appreciation for the model train fairs of that time and a demonstration of how long the hobby of Model Trains has already existed.
