Prototype
The DB Class 218 was one of Germany's most successful diesel locomotives, serving passenger and freight trains on non-electrified main lines throughout the Deutsche Bundesbahn network. The cream and crimson TEE paint scheme on locomotive 218 217-8 was a historic design study and was never used in regular Trans Europ Express service. Its distinctive appearance and limited Eurotrain production have made this model a highly desirable collector's item among Märklin enthusiasts.
