LGB 21120 MÁV M28 Diesel Loco with Lights and Sound

Märklin's works loco is truly a product of Györ. It was built by Rába, a company based in Györ with a proud tradition. Approximately 100 units of the class M 28 were produced. The locomotive was purchased not only by the state railroad but also by private railroads and works railroads for light switching duties. Road number M 28 1001 is the first machine in this class, which was built from 1955 onwards. Several years ago, the small twin-axle diesel loco arrived at the Märklin factory in Györ on board a low-loader truck from the Railway Museum in Budapest. The little machine was then meticulously overhauled and restored by Märklin employees at the Märklin factory premises in Györ. When it came to choosing a color, they opted for RAL 6020 chrome green, which means that the loco is now resplendent in the paint scheme it wore during the 1970s, which is era IV. It now sits directly outside the main entrance of the Märklin factory, where it draws attention to the model railroad products manufactured here.

This is a model of the Märklin works loco in Györ.The model is based on completely new tooling and is equipped with a powerful ball bearing motor that sends power to both axles. The loco is fitted with traction tires. The finely detailed machine has an mfx/DCC decoder with many light and sound functions. These include headlights, cab lighting, running gear lights, operating sounds, a horn, and many more.
