dining areas, a galley, a washing up area, a buffet, and a crew
compartment. One type Av4üm-62 compartment car, 1st class. Cobalt
blue / beige basic paint scheme. The cars look as they did in the
summer of 1963.

the dining car;
- dining car includes table lamps that can be controlled
separately;
- all of the cars include built-in LED interior lighting;

Model: The dining car has an mfx digital decoder and extensive
light and sound functions. The table lamps, area lighting,
vestibule lighting, and bar lighting can each be controlled
separately. Both cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting
with warm white LEDs. Both of the cars have current-conducting
close couplers. The interior lighting works only in conjunction
with the dining car and it 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 57 cm / 22-7/16".
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 43881.
