At Miniature Project we are pleased to announce Märklin's surprise model for 2024: the Steam Locomotive 141 R 1244 . This extraordinary model marks the first time that the type 141 R is available in the Märklin assortment. This steam locomotive pays homage to one of the most iconic locomotives in French railway history and is now available for pre-order.

History of the 141 R 1244: An American-French Legend

The 141 R steam locomotives were originally built in the United States and Canada to help the French railways after the devastation of World War II. These powerful and versatile locomotives quickly became a mainstay of the SNCF network, and the 141 R 1244 is one of the few that is still operational. Today, this locomotive is lovingly maintained by the Association Mikado 1244 in Brugg, Switzerland.

The Märklin 141 R 1244 model has been designed with great attention to detail and is packed with technical highlights that will delight every model railway enthusiast:
