Märklin 037066 H0 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE BR 80 DB

Our 'Eighties' There are Märklin locomotives which give rise to great emotions in many model railway models. The braintedly tender steam locomotive of the series 80 belongs to these small, but fine Märklin icons. At the beginning of the 1950s a replica of this strong shunting locomotive as a legendary TM 800 rolled into the Märklin program and impresses small and large railway modelers mainly because of the affordable price. Later, countless improved variants of the "Eighties" followed, which eventually became one of the most popular Märklin steam locomotives. That was certainly also due to the interesting model. When the series 80 between 1927 and 1929 was delivered in 39 copies as unit shunting locomotive to the pre-war State Railways, it was a state-of-the-art and very powerful locomotive. Although the Deutsche Bundesbahn had already taken out the last specimens of this three-coupler, with a capacity of over 500 HP in 1964. But numerous locomotives found grateful customers in production railways in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. There you could admire the last specimens until the end of the steam locomotive time in the 1970s. Thus, many railway and model railway enthusiasts experienced the "Eighties" live under steam. Seven machines are still available today, whereby 80 036 of the Dutch Veluvsche Stomtrein is currently being processed. In 2026, it shall be under steam again. Märklin presents this classic in a completely revised version accordingly. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a free view of the driver's cab, the new 80 will captivate many generations of young and old Marklinists.
