Prototype: Three different design German Federal Railroad (DB)
express train passenger cars for the "Rheinpfeil" express train F22
from Dortmund to Munich. One type AD4üm-62 vista dome car, 1st
class, with a raised panorama compartment and service areas beneath
it. The vista dome area has four side windows. One type Av4üm-62
compartment car, 1st class, and one type Ap4üm-62 open seating car,
1st class. Cobalt blue / beige basic paint scheme. The cars look as
they did in the summer of 1963.
Highlights:
- newly designed interior lighting for the vista dome car to light
up the dome area better;
- all of the cars include built-in LED interior lighting;
- one car includes built-in marker lights;
- operating, current-conducting couplers.
Model: All of the cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting
with warm white LEDs. The open seating car has factory-installed
marker lights. All of the cars come from the factory with
current-conducting close couplers. The interior lighting and the
marker lights work only in conjunction with the humped back dining
car from the 43882 set and they can be turned on and off digitally
using a decoder. The specified sequence of cars must be maintained
for this purpose. The roof shapes, side walls, underbodies, and
skirting are specific to the car types. The trucks are type
Minden-Deutz with brake shoes, magnet rail brakes, and separately
applied generators. The train destination signs are imprinted on
the cars. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16".
Total length over the buffers approximately 85 cm / 33-7/16".
Motive power and an add-on express train passenger car set to go
with this car set can be found in the Märklin H0 assortment under
item numbers 39126 and 43882.
