The RhB unit ABe 4\/16 \u201eCapricorn\u201c in Gauge G was produced with illuminated horns and two middle carriages in the Wacken look and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The auction on the Catawiki platform achieved \u20ac12,000 for DKMS, which works worldwide for blood cancer patients and registers stem cell donors. Andrea Autenrieth, Head of Donor Recruitment at DKMS, accepted the cheque in G\u00f6ppingen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The auctioned \u201eDevil's Train\u201c in Gauge G with glowing horns caused a stir at Wacken Open Air 2025, according to M\u00e4rklin, and was one of the most photographed subjects. The DKMS advertised on the festival grounds with cotton buds for stem cell donors. This led to the idea of having the Devil's Train signed and auctioned for this good cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-five-year-old Philipp Schlampp won the collector's item and took possession of it at the G\u00f6ppingen main plant from managing director Wolfrad B\u00e4chle, who thanked him personally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DKMS is a non-profit organisation fighting blood cancer. It registers potential stem cell donors worldwide to improve the chances of patients receiving a life-saving transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a289fcacbf9c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a289fcacbf9c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-1024x629.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-1024x629.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-1536x944.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-2048x1258.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/faszination-spur1.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/maerklin_spende_DKMS-1320x811.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Philipp Schlampp (3rd from left) receives the special collector's item from M\u00e4rklin CEO Wolfrad B\u00e4chle (2nd from left).
