Märklin 38860 H0 BR 03.10 stoomlocomotief met mfx+ digital-decoder en sound

This H0 scale model steam locomotive replicates the German Federal Railroad's class 03.10 express locomotive, road number 03 1001, as preserved in museum service during Era VI. The model features a die-cast metal chassis and a high-quality plastic body, delivering a controlled high-efficiency propulsion with flywheel for smooth operation. Equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder, it supports mfx+, DCC, and Motorola control protocols, and offers extensive operational sounds, triple headlights, dual red marker lights, cab lighting, and a firebox flickering effect. The locomotive is prepared for a smoke generator (Märklin 72270) and includes driver and stoker figures.

Advantages

Experience authentic museum-era steam locomotive operation with advanced digital sound and lighting functions. The mfx+ decoder ensures automatic registration with compatible Märklin central stations, while the die-cast chassis provides excellent pulling power and durability. The close coupling mechanism with NEM shaft allows realistic train formations, and the minimum radius of 360 mm makes it suitable for many layouts.
