Model: The Mark III car family is completely new tooling. The
interiors are done in multiple colors. Both cars have
factory-installed LED interior lighting. A buffer capacitor is
installed in each car to bridge over short areas without current.
The cars are equipped with operating, current-conducting close
couplers. The interior lighting works in conjunction with the
marker light car from the 23690 set and the assigned car order must
be followed for this function. There are trucks specific to the
types of cars, roof shapes, side walls, and underbodies with many
separately applied details. The buffer height on the cars conforms
to the NEM. There are separately applied vents, grab irons, control
lines, and steps on the trucks. There are imprinted car route signs
and car assignment numbers. Two crossover end doors are included
with each car. These doors were installed on the prototype for
crossovers. A decal set is included with the two cars with four
additional car numbers and assignment numbers. Together with the
23690 set the use of five add-on sets can allow a prototypical 14
part consist to be made. Both cars are individually packaged in an
additional master package. The minimum radius for operation is 360
mm / 14-3/16". Length over the buffers approximately 56.6 cm /
22-1/4". An add-on car set can be found in the Trix H0 assortment
under item number 23690. An electric locomotive to go with these
cars can be found in the Trix H0 assortment under item number
