Märklin 42555 H0 Commuter Car, 1st/2nd Class, DB AG, Era V

Typical commuter car in a silver finish – Märklin H0 ABn 703 1st/2nd Class

With the Märklin 42555 commuter car, you can bring a piece of everyday Deutsche Bahn AG rail reality to your H0 layout. This ABn 703-type car, featuring the classic “silver coin” look, combines 1st and 2nd class in a single car and was an indispensable part of regional rail service for decades—ideal for authentic train formations from Era V onward.

Authentic reproduction of the ABn 703

The model is based on the original DB AG design, which was widely used following the dissolution of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The typical stainless-steel look, the green-accented first-class window band, and the simple design language make this car a distinctive representative of German commuter rail.

Solid basic configuration with options for retrofitting

The car comes standard with adjustable buffers, allowing for optimal adaptation to various coupling systems. It is also prepared for the retrofit installation of interior lighting 7330 and the current-carrying coupler 7319—perfect for model railroaders who value realistic train lighting.

Versatile use on any layout

With a length of 26.4 cm over buffers, the model corresponds to the typical 1:87 scale and is ideally suited for medium and large H0 layouts. For DC model railroaders, a matching DC wheel set (4 x 700580) is available separately, allowing the car to be used in Trix or other DC systems.

What’s Included

Included in the package is the ready-to-run ABn 703 commuter car (1st/2nd class) with adjustable buffers. Interior lighting and a current-carrying coupler can be retrofitted as options.
