Description

Märklin 38135 H0 Rail Bus VT 88.9: The Legendary "Pig Snout" of Era III

The Märklin 38135 H0 rail bus VT 88.9, also known as the "Pig's Snout", is a detailed reproduction of the historic Wismar rail bus of the German Federal Railroad (DB). This charming vehicle from Era III, in a purple-red paint scheme, represents the condition around 1950 and impresses with its completely new design, intricate details and state-of-the-art digital technology. With the built-in mfx+ decoder and extensive light and sound functions, this rail bus is a highlight for model railroad layouts.

The prototype: Wismar rail bus VT 88.9

The Wismar rail bus, type "Hannover A", was originally designed for branch lines and impressed with its simple construction and economy. The German Federal Railroad continued to operate it after the Second World War under the series designation VT 88.9. The model shown here depicts the VT 88 902 railcar, which was based in Nuremberg. Because of its striking design, the rail bus was affectionately called the "pig's snout".

Märklin - precision and innovation

The completely new design of this model impresses with its delicate metal construction and numerous applied details. The multi-colored interior design, the standard built-in interior lighting, and the digitally controllable control panel lighting provide a realistic representation. The buffer storage unit guarantees uninterrupted operation, even with short power outages.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 38135

The rail bus is equipped with controlled high-efficiency propulsion that drives two axles. Traction tires provide optimum traction. The triple headlights and the red marker lights change over with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. In addition, the headlights at the top and the lighting on the driver's cabs can be controlled separately. The LED interior lighting and the control panel lighting can also be controlled digitally and use maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs. Attached metal grab rails emphasize the high level of detail.

Flexibility and expansion options

The model has a length of 13.5 cm over bumpers and is perfect for H0 layouts with limited space. This model is available for DC railroaders under item number 25135 in the Trix H0 assortment. The VT 88.9 is an ideal choice for branch lines and smaller railroad layouts that want to capture the charm of historic vehicles.

Recommendation for model railroaders

The Märklin 38135 H0 VT 88.9 rail bus is a must for anyone looking for a historic and technically high-quality model. With its loving design, modern functions and special history, this rail bus is an enrichment for every model railroad layout.
