Märklin 42580 H0 passenger car-Set, DR, Ep. IV Product Details
Märklin 42580 H0 Passenger Car Set: DR Halberstadt Center Boarding Cars
The Märklin 42580 H0 Passenger Car Set is a detailed reproduction of the famous Halberstadt center entrance cars of the German State Railroad (DR/DDR). These type Bmh passenger cars in 2nd class bring the charm of rail traffic at the end of the 1980s to your model railroad layout. With their true-to-original color schemes and state-of-the-art technology, they enrich any H0 collection.
The prototype: DR Halberstadt center-entry coaches
The Halberstadt mid-entry coaches, built in the 1970s and 1980s, were designed for use on local and regional services. Their robust construction and the characteristic center entrances made them an important part of passenger transport in the GDR. This set shows two cars in dark green (TGL 2233) and one in chrome oxide green (TGL 2235) paint schemes, typical of the German State Railroad at the end of the 1980s.
Märklin - true to detail and modern technology
The model has a completely new design with numerous details. The cars have multi-colored interior details and standard built-in LED interior lighting that is equipped with buffer capacitors for a reliable power supply. One car also has end-of-train lighting for authentic operation.
Technical Highlights of the Märklin 42580
All of the cars are equipped with current-conducting close couplers that can be disconnected to provide a continuous power supply for the lighting in the entire train. Type-specific bogies, roof shapes, side walls and underbodies ensure maximum prototypical fidelity. Separately attachable brake hoses, heating cables and screw couplings offer further possibilities for individualization.
Combination options
The set can be ideally extended with the additional passenger coach with item number 42581. A matching diesel locomotive can be found under item number 36436 to create a complete train set. With a minimum passable radius of 360 mm, the carriages are suitable for all standard H0 layouts.
