Crocodile Replica "CCS 700"

Crocodile Replica "CCS 700".

Originally, the model of the Crocodile in H0 was planned as early as 1936, and it was
supposed to come out in the marketplace under item number CCS 700. However, it
remained as a prototype – not least because of circumstances of the times. An H0 model
of the Crocodile was not presented until 1947 as item number CCS 800 – later 3015.

This is a reproduction of the first H0 Gauge Crocodile prototype ever made
at Märklin from 1936. The frame and body are constructed of die-cast
zinc. Both trucks are powered with jackshafts and side rods. The locomotive
has a factory-installed mfx decoder, so that it can be used on present
day layouts. Sufficient clearance must be ensured due to the reproduction
of this historic sample. The headlights change over with the direction of
travel and will work in analog operation. There are sprung pantographs
without an electrical function.
Length over the buffers 21 cm / 8-1/4“.

Highlights:
• Reproduction of the very first sample of
an H0 Gauge Crocodile
• Die-cast zinc
• mfx digital decoder included

One-time series with a certificate of authenticity.
