Märklin 40852 H0 4er Set passenger car 'Rheingold', Tin Plate, DB, Ep. III Product Details
Märklin 40852 H0 Set of 4 'Rheingold' Passenger Cars, Tin Plate, DB, Ep. III - Luxury on Rails in the Style of the 1960s
The Märklin 40852 H0 passenger car set brings the splendor of the legendary "Rheingold" express train to your model railroad world. In a cobalt blue/beige color scheme and with four different types of cars from the German Federal Railroad from Era III, this set represents the high-quality TEE train culture of the 1960s. As a unique series in a robust tin plate design made of metal, it is not only a nostalgic collector's item, but also a visual highlight when running.
Stylish variety of wagons in the classic Rheingold design
The set includes four prototypically designed TEE coaches: an Ap4üm-62 open-plan coach, a WR4üm-64 dining car, an AD4üm-62 observation car and an Av4üm-62 compartment car - all in 1st class. The train composition corresponds to the operating condition around 1962 and shows the stylish travel culture of Era III in a perfect model realization. Printed train running signs and different car numbers emphasize the realistic impression.
Period-typical equipment with loving details
All of the cars are equipped with Relex couplers and rubber bead crossovers. The compartment car has a red headlight as standard, which also provides an authentic effect during operation. Each car is individually packaged in a cardboard box with a design reminiscent of the historic packaging design of the 1960s - including additional outer packaging.
High-quality tin plate version made of metal
The tin plate design not only gives the set stability, but also a nostalgic character reminiscent of the classic Märklin models of the post-war period. The workmanship is robust and yet finely detailed - a perfect compromise between collector's value and operational suitability.
Perfect addition: The Rheingold locomotive E10.12
The matching electric locomotive for this set is available under item number 30391: the famous "Bügelfalte" of the E10.12 series in Rheingold livery. Together with the car set, an impressive train picture is created that brings every Era III station to life.
