Märklin heraldic animal. 100 years ago, in November 1919, the Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) commissioned the first "Crocodile". Soon this locomotive became the ruler over the steep slopes of the Gotthard. It owes the name to its model (hinged platforms, elongated shape) and its green colour. When driving along routes with points and curves, the machine "squirmed" like a reptile across the track. With this special model, we greatly value the fact that each handle is in place: our experts gild each element to be gilded in five perfected work steps. During the galvanization, the Crocodile is gilded inside and out with 24 carat gold. This model unites like no other the technical masterpiece and the quality of the Märklin brand with the sensuality of gold.
