Comment: "Crocodiles". The Swiss mountain locomotives that pulled heavy freight trains over the Gotthard grades are known as "Crocodiles". The design (hoods mounted for articulation, stretched out shape) and the color green gave them their name. These units "snaked" like a reptile through the curves when negotiating turnout combinations and S curves. "Six-axle standard gauge locomotive, only for large curves, faithful reproduction of the 'Crocodile Locomotive' _" was the description in the Märklin catalog of 1933/34 for the reproduction of the latest locomotive from Switzerland. The design and the pulling power of the original locomotive impressed people so much at that time, that it became a synonym for progress and power. A legend that was part of Märklin's history from that point on. This legendary locomotive was offered in all of Märklin's scales. First in 1 Gauge and 0 Gauge, then in H0, and even in Mini-Club Z Gauge. It was the top product offered everywhere and thus became the unofficial "heraldic animal" of Märklin.

This Crocodile double set can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 37565.

Comment: In June of 1952 the brand name "da Vinci" registered by Marianne and Hansfried Defet was officially confirmed by the German Patent Office and since then has stood as a seal of quality for the products of this Nürnberg paint brush specialist. High quality, processed material, traditional hand work, and the latest production processes have always gone hand in hand so that optimal quality standards are assured for the entire range of products. Artist's brushes are the foundation of the production program. The basis for all of these products was, is, and will also be in the future: careful selection of raw materials that are treated for the most part in the company's own finish or in subsequent treatment for the individual type of brushes. In addition, an equivalent attitude is taken with the education of a brush maker. Each of the specialized workers has passed a three-year apprenticeship before he or she is assigned to a particular product group and is also trained for it. Furthermore, the level of knowledge and the skills are continuously foster after the educational process. The axiom "Made in Germany" is not and never has been in question. In the opinion of the company this is the only way to ensure consistent quality for all of their products. More information is available at www.davinci-defet.com

Comment: In 1838 the Munich politician and businessman Von Maffei purchased a small hammer mill for 57,000 Gulden in Hirschau, "a postal hour distant from Munich, at the end of the English Gardens", as the art and trade newspaper described it in 1852. Maffei was pursuing a concrete goal: He was pressing ahead with all of his powers the construction of the rail line Munich-Augsburg and was irritated that the expensive locomotives from England were assembled on the spot by English experts. Without hesitation this representative to the Bavarian government's lower house hired the engineer Joseph Hallab - he became the manager of the iron works in Hirschau. The idea of building locomotives in Bavarian took fire. On September 9, 1841 Maffei was able to apply for a patent from King Ludwig I for the first locomotive. The Wittelsbach king accepted: "It is with great pleasure that I experienced the building of the steam car from Munich and expressed the wish that I would like to give it a name; it should be called the 'Münchner'." It is the start of a history of success: In 1851 the Maffei steam locomotive "Bavaria" was chosen for mastering the enormous grade over the Semmering - an invaluable image coup. By 1931, according to the Bavarian Historical Lexicon, 5,459 locomotives had been built in the Munich works of J. A. Maffei - in addition, railroad bridges, stationary steam engines, and steam ships.

T60122 - MS II Hub (Distribution Board)
Pre-order price: $ TBA

Model: Distribution board for connections for up to a maximum of 5 MS II to an output on the 60112 or 60113 digital connector box. An MS II Hub can be connected to both outputs on the connector box. Hence, up to a maximum of 10 MS II connected to the 60112 or 60113 connector box can be operated. The power requirements of an MS II is about 50 milliamps. Dimensions 96 x 85 x 40 mm / 3-3/4" x 3-3/8" x 1-9/16". This distribution board cannot be connected to the CS II! You must use item numbers 60125 and 60124 in order to connect several MS II to the CS II.

T60821 - Accessory Set for the m 83 Decoder
Pre-order price: $ TBA

Model: This is a turnout motor front end circuit board for the m 83 decoder. It is for using turnout mechanisms with motors with an end shutoff feature in the end stop position. This can only be used in conjunction with the m 83 (60831). When you are operating such mechanisms with the m 83, you can program the set speed as well as a slow approach to the end position.

T60831 - m 83 Decoder
Pre-order price: $ TBA
m 83 Decoder.

Model: This is a receiver for controlling turnouts, signals, and uncoupler tracks. The m 83 supports the Motorola and DCC digital formats. The digital address can be set using the coding switches or by means of a programming track. The available address range in the Motorola format is up to address 320 and in the DCC format up to address 2040. The m 83 has 8 outputs, and each one can be controlled separately. The default setting is for up to 4 turnouts. Other functions are controlling lighting (dimmable) with a defined power-on behavior (example: street lighting) as well as controlling building lighting (houses, etc.). It is possible to have an outside power supply such as the 66361/66365. The 60831 and 60841 decoders can be arranged in any order desired. A 60821 accessory set per output is required for turnouts with turnout motors. Connections are done with set screw terminals. The maximum current load is 3 amps.

T60841 - m 84 Decoder
Pre-order price: $ TBA
m 84 Decoder.

Model: This is a receiver for turning continuous current on and off for lighting, motors, Hobby signals (74371, 74380, 74391) and other electric accessories. The m 84 supports the Motorola and DCC digital formats. The digital address can be set using the coding switches or by means of a programming track. The available address range in the Motorola format is up to address 320 and in the DCC format up to address 2040. The m 84 has 4 relays for galvanic separated control of users. If you use the 66361/66365 switched mode power packs to power circuits connected to these relays, you can achieve bi-stable status for the relays and store in memory the last control activity. The Hobby color light signals can be controlled with the same control potential for the track current. In addition, the m 84 has 8 inputs for manual control of the relays (analogous to the 7244 remote relay). The 60831 and 60841 decoders can be arranged in any order desired. Connections are done with set screw terminals. The maximum current load is 5 amps.

T60882 - s 88 DC Decoder
Pre-order price: $ TBA
s 88 DC Decoder.

Model: This is a feedback module for current sensors on digitally controlled 2-rail layouts. This module can be plugged into the L88 (60883) with the cable included with the former. The s 88 DC has a connecting socket for additional s 88 DC decoders (60882). It also has 2x 8 inputs for current sensors (with optical-couplers) in 2 different power circuits that can be combined into a single power circuit with 16 inputs.

T60883 - L88 (Link s 88)
Pre-order price: $ TBA
L88 (Link s 88).

Model: This allows connections for the s 88 (60881) and s 88 DC (60882) and the older s 88 feedback modules (6088 und 60880) to the Central Station II, and to the 60125 Terminal. The unit has an older design socket for the 6088 and 60880 feedback modules, as well as two RJ 45 sockets for the new 60881 and 60882 feedback modules. In addition, there are 16 inputs for contact generators analogous to the 60881. These 16 inputs can be configured specially for track diagram control boards so that a matrix with up to 64 buttons can be set up.
