Prototype Information:

Gunni Drives Goods Locomotives in bright red are nice to see on the rails, no question about it. But very colorful, well-designed machines are beautiful and attract a lot of attention. There are many of them on the rails of Europe, but none attracts more attention to curious onlookers with wide eyes than this locomotive. The locomotive is a 185.2 series. More precisely, it is a 185 367, which was presented at the DB Museum Nuremberg on September 20, 2019. This unique rail vehicle bears the name "Gunni freight train." It has been running in front of freight trains in Germany and Austria and attracting the photo community to rail lines. The locomotive from the TRAXX family has become the mascot of DB Cargo. But who is "Günni" anyway? He is a play figure and one of seven characters in the "Little ICE" family. He is in good company alongside "Robbi Regio," "Ida IC" and "Opa Adler," to name but a few, but "Günni Güterzug" can be purchased on board ICE and IC trains. Since his exceedingly colorful design was so well received, the idea soon matured into the notion of bringing "Günni" to life, so to speak, on a real freight locomotive. "Günni" is now in service with a wonderfully whimsical design. In September 2019, the 185 367 was transformed step by step from a completely normal train horse of Deutsche Guerbahn into the colorful "Gunni" with the distinctive motto: "No matter how well you drive - Günni drives goods!" This slogan is written on the locomotive body of the 5600 kW machine. What else do we know about "Gunni?" Well, we know he prefers to roll through the country with a long line of colorful container cars. What he likes least is having to drive alone or with only a few cars. The model railroader will feel this as well. Fortunately, Marklin offers a wide selection of cars for this locomotive. There are many great models for Era VI, from container cars to tank cars. Along with these cars, the model will be exclusively for Marklin Insider and Trix Club members. We also know "Gunni" will be an eye-catcher when only on display.
