Märklin is the company that made metal construction sets popular along with model trains. It thus made sense that this Göppingen company brought out a locomotive in the metal construction set look. The locomotive was a Swiss Southeast Railroad (Südostbahn or SOB) Re 446 447-5. The metal construction set locomotive was formally dedicated on June 8, 1996 in Chambrelien in the Swiss Jura area on the occasion of a special Märklin excursion with several hundred railroad enthusiasts.
