For the top of the line models on larger gauges, sure. Always has been. For regular gauges like H0 there's plenty of affordable Märklin stuff, especially if you shop around for 2nd hand items.
@@stevethomas-cc5lz I got a used (more or less new) Märklin digital starter set for €150, 2 additional second hand locos, a bunch of track and a few switches and signals, some rolling stock, along with 2 digital decoders (for non digital switches / signals). I spent about €800 in all I think. Most of the stuff is in great condition and came in the original packages. The rails needed cleaning. Not a bad price for enough stuff to build a respectable layout.
So nice for the Manufacture to wear the gloves while handling their locomotive, I definitely appreciate seeing the care they use when handling it. Thanks for including them with the product, And showing us how they can be used when handling the product. 🤦♀️ 🤦♀️
Well the company is called Märklin and this model is not built by them. It is made by one of the best brass model makers in Korea. They only Importen it. If Märklin had built it in Europe, the price would be app $12 600 - 15 000 😂😂😂
Where’s the fun in that when it’s already built! I bought an HPI nitro Savage X SS 4.6 complete kit. Building the whole thing, except the engine, was bliss.
Wonderful. Wish I could afford one. Curious what are the part numbers of the foam pads that were used? I am having difficulty finding them. They are useful for other large engines too for me. Thank you.
We just saw union pacific 's Big Boy 4014 in utah. It came to town for 2 days. My 9 year old wants this model train so bad! He has been fascinated since he was 1. He knows every fact of the Big boy. I wish I could afford this! Is there a more budget friendly Big boy available?
@@rc4lifebnsf Not trying to be argumentative but only thing both gauge’s share is the 45mm width between the rails. No. 1 scale (1:32) is prototypical standard gauge while g gauge (1:22.5) corresponds more closely to narrow gauge. Marklin markets their large scale offerings as No. 1 scale and has been doing so for around 100 years. G scale (think LGB) was popularized in the 1960s and is slightly larger 1:22.5 scale to No. 1 scale of 1:32. My Marklin No. 1 scale BR55 locomotive will run on my nephew’s g scale railroad because the width between the rails are the same.
If You are not a billionaire but want to run realistic freight trains with more than 50 cars You should try scale 1:220 or 1:160. Lokomotives and cars are expensive, too. But the space You need is much cheaper.
Ich nutze solche Stoffhandschuhe auch nicht und sehr viele Spur1-Modellbahner nutzen sie ebenfalls nicht. Das hat aus meiner Sicht mindestens zwei ganz einfache Gründe: Ich finde, dass man schwere Spur 1-Modelle bereits ab einem Gewicht von rund 4 bis 5 Kilogramm mit solchen Handschuhen nicht wirklich sicher hochheben kann, sondern die Gefahr besteht, abzurutschen. Außerdem besteht auch die Gefahr, dass man mit den Stoffhandschuhen bei filigranen Feinguss-Anbauteilen einfädeln kann und dann quasi hängen bleibt.
"An open end wrench"?? What the hell is that?? The tool is called "a spanner!" That said, the model itself is awesome in every respect and an absolute beast.
Amazing the way some people approach this "unboxing" compulsion. "Let's open this model box and see what's inside." "WOW, model parts! How unusual. I sure never saw THAT coming"
7000 €. The most beautiful toy you can buy,...if you are rich. It's a marvel. But after seeing how it works for a few days, what do you do? Sell it. A real shame about wasted money.
@derz-crackmodellbahnvideosinsp costs a decent motorcycle. Amazing vacation. Night with expensive night girls. An entire high end ho layout all dcc and beautiful engines! Or, one very overpriced steamer.
@@Curious_Skepticusually the bigger the scale, the more $$$$ goes in. A real steaming Big Boy in 1/8 scale on 7 1/4 or 7 1/2 inches gauge track, believe me, you really don´t want to know the price. You can have a decent automobile or sailboat.......for less.
@danielfantino1714 yup. They are awesome. Sort of trolling in good nature humor. Believe me, if I had that kind of income to chuck 10s of thousands at a hobby, I would be all in. Good thing we have n scale and h.o. for us not so lucky. ;)
@@Curious_Skeptic Cool to sit on your tender and have steamy "toy" that carry you in dream land until.... Wheels fed up of turning on high iron, decided suddenly to kiss ballast and ties ! At that moment you really regret of not being in HO or N..... Or you brake suddenly and your "toy" fasteners broke loose with your steamer passing through the back of your pick up to stop just behind you. Then try to explain to your insurer that you have been hit by a steam locomotive that burst into your cab..... They won´t believe you. 😮😢😢 😊😂😂
@danielfantino1714 lolz. Every hobby has its frustrations. You just happen to have some cooler stories of failures. Living my dream. Always wanted to do that stuff. Looks like a lot of fun. Minus the injuries. 😉😀
You'd be surprised. There are plenty of wealthy people out there around the world that love model railroading. People who for them to pay $7,000 is like normal people paying $70.00
You know this is serious when the damn packaging comes with a pair of gloves.
Yup! My other 1 scale marklin has white gloves. Can't wait for this to show up to my door 😊
It mean really serious big boys toys
Weren't the gloves there to be used, especially in a demonstration? Kind of silly, this!
Clearly a very impressive Gauge 1 model of the BigBoy locomotive. A collectors display item for sure!

Amazing detail. Great Job!
What a magnificent Big Boy. Looks and sounds great! Thanks for sharing! 😎
What a beauty. It's awesome
I just watched a video of Big boy heading to California. Amazing. The diesel is to slow it down on descents. Not to add pull.
Beautiful piece of modelling. ❤
Every model train fan will envy of
this steam locomotive.
Nope. Never done steam engines.... Never will.

Makes my HO scale Big boys look tiny!
How things changed. My dad had one of these in HO scale. I had never heard of gauge one is this something new.
It’s g scale
G scale/gauge 1 goes all the way back to the early days of the hobby
@@rc4lifebnsf G scale is larger, typically 1:22.5 scale. Gauge 1 is 1:32 scale, so it’s just a bit smaller.

Correct me if i am wrong but Gauge 1 is what they filmed the Model Thomas the Tank Engine Series in right....
Yes. Using Marklin mechanisms for the running gear.
@@johnd8892 I would love to See a Replica/one of the original filming models next to the big boy just to show the Crazy difference in size!
If You are not a billionaire but want to run realistic freight trains with more than 50 cars You should try scale 1:220 or 1:160. Lokomotives and cars are expensive, too. But the space You need is much cheaper.
At this scale the front bell should be moved by a motor. Märklin missed that opportunity, sadly.
The bell doesn't move on big boys it uses air to swing the striker on the bell
@@Ohiotrucker1 they could have gotten away with it, foamers just want to see stuff move and have smoke coming out of it and they're happy
some people always find something to bitch about oh boo hoo boo hoo
How much does it weigh? And what size radius does it need for turns?
wow. wishlist
It's an impressive piece of work, but I'd rather have a motorcycle or car for that money.
Please make Indian model trains like wap 7, wag 9..
😍
I want this so badly :((
i remeber the only Marklin that i have is a Z scale train
you need more light..
Man this looks expensive!
Why is it not listed on their site??? >
How many organs have I to sell to get it?
This is awesome. I have a question. I have new model train channel. Can anyone tell me is it better to list my videos 'kids friendly" or not?
If it's "kid friendly" I think they won't allow comments. There's probably other differences but that's the main one I can think of.
@@jamesm6638 Oh wow. I didn't know that. I also want everyone to hopefully enjoy. and love the trains as much as I do.
@@chuggsvilleI *think* (please double check me on this) that on kid-friendly videos they also don’t allow saving, like to playlists.

In other words it's g-gauge.
It comes with "kit gloves", I'll be damn. I'm sick of people saying kid gloves.
is 1 gauge compatible with g scale ?
it's 2 different terms for the same thing
@@jamesm6638 thank you and what an amazing model only the germans would give you white gloves lol

gloves are a clue for not asking price. If you do, usually it´s because you can´t afford it 😅😅
Both run on the same scale track but g scale is larger, typically 1:22.5 scale. 1 gauge is 1:32 scale, so it’s a just a bit smaller.
Anyone knows how much that is? Thanks!
€6400-7000 according to other comments.
