On 10 December, the innovative Siemens Desiro HC electric multiple unit will make its debut in the timetable change. This ultra-modern rail vehicle sets new standards in terms of efficiency, comfort and environmental friendliness. Equipped with the latest electric mobility technology, the Desiro HC not only offers a sustainable alternative in passenger transport, but also promises a pleasant travelling experience for passengers.
The train's high capacity and flexibility enable efficient passenger transport and help to relieve congestion on busy routes. With its contemporary design and numerous innovative features, the Siemens Desiro HC not only focuses on performance, but also on the feel-good factor for passengers. The introduction of this electric multiple unit marks a significant step towards sustainable and future-orientated mobility in rail transport.
We at Märklin will of course also be offering these innovative electric multiple units as H0 models for our fans. Look forward to an outstanding model railway year 2024.

Model: The train has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound and light functions. It also has controlled, high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, built centrally into End Car A. All four axles powered in both trucks using cardan shafts. Traction tires. The current supply changes over with the direction of travel and is picked up at the end car at the front of the train. There are special close couplers with a guide mechanism. Triple headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. There is a double A light function. Long-distance headlights prototypically have two levels of brightness. They, the cab and control desk lighting as well as lighting for the train destination signs at the ends and on the sides can be controlled digitally. There is factory-installed LED interior lighting. A buffer capacitor is built into each car to bridge over temporary spots without current. The interior lighting receives current using the continuous electrical connection for the entire train. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for all of the train's lighting. The interior details are multi-colored. The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally. There are many separately applied details. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Length of the train approximately 112.6 cm / 44-5/16".
