Märklin 42047 KPEV Compartment Car Set: Historic Elegance of the Royal Prussian Railroad in Era I

The Märklin 42047 Compartment Car Set is a detailed reproduction of three pairs of Prussian design compartment cars of the Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (KPEV). With its characteristic paint scheme and precise reproduction, this set reflects the historic rail traffic of Era I and is an ideal addition to H0 layouts that capture the charm of the imperial era.

The prototype: Pairs of KPEV compartment cars

The 3-axle compartment coaches of the KPEV were typical passenger transport vehicles in the early 20th century. The set includes:

• A pair of B3/B3 coaches (2nd class) in brown-green.
• A pair of C3/C3 coaches (2nd and 3rd class) with a brakeman's cab in walnut brown.
• A pair of C3/C3 P coaches (3rd class and luggage compartment) in nut brown and reddish brown.

With their elegant design and practical construction, these cars were an important part of the KPEV passenger service and represent Era I perfectly.

Detailed and high-quality realization

The model set impresses with numerous prototypical details and modern technology:

• LED interior lighting as standard: all carriages are equipped with warm white LEDs and buffer storage, which ensure an even flow of light.
• Current-conducting close couplers: The cars are supplied with power via the locomotive (e.g. P 8, item number 39381).
• Permanently coupled pairs of cars: Provide prototypical appearance and stability.
• Movable center axle: Improves the ability to negotiate curves and makes the set suitable for smaller radii.
• Individual color scheme: Authentically reproduced colors for each pair of cars.

The wagons are individually packaged and have an overall length over buffers of approx. 82.5 cm, making them ideal for historical train compositions.

Combination options for authentic trains

The set of compartment cars goes perfectly with the matching P 8 steam locomotive (item number 39381) to represent an authentic KPEV train composition. With this set, historical trains of the imperial era can be perfectly reproduced on your H0 layout.

Conclusion: Historical precision for your model railroad

The Märklin 42047 KPEV compartment car set is a high quality model that faithfully reproduces the elegance and functionality of the Royal Prussian Railroad. With its prototypical design, modern LED technology, and versatile applications, this set is a must for fans of historic railroad models.
